[quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher. I assign homework on average about twice a week. I'm usually surprised at how many times I hear from parents that it's not enough (I teach special education, 8th grade math). I use homework strictly as extra practice time since my students learn at a much slower pace and really need more practice on certain topics. I encourage them to ask questions and get help on the homework. I tell the parents at BTSN that if the homework is taking longer than 15 minutes or so, to let their child stop doing it and write me a note on the top of the page that that's all they could get done. If it's not turned in, it's a zero. It's graded on completion, not accuracy. And homework as a whole only counts for 10% of their grade. Honestly, in 15 years of teaching, I've never had a parent dismiss homework or toss it out. Or maybe I do have parents who do but have just never outright said it.[/quote]
