[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools should just stop giving homework, period. That addresses the equity issue without anyone getting “free points.” Grade based on class participation, class work, and exams. Voila.[/quote] Homework provides kids with extra practice on skills that they are learning. That practice helps them to master the material. [/quote] I think you are forgetting that homework is assigned in FCPS classes. It just doesn't count as much as it used to so it doesn't inflate the grade that much. Students should complete this extra practice to master the material... and then, hopefully, demonstrate their mastery on more heavily weighted assignments, projects, assessments, etc.[/quote]
