[quote=Anonymous]In three of the four core subjects, my kid doesn't have daily homework. When homework is assigned, it's something like a science lab to finish up, a current events write up, a short essay in English, etc. Those items are graded. In math, on the other hand, there is homework assigned each class and it is not graded for anything other than completion. I'm ok with that...I want the emphasis to be on the attempt, so that my kid has something to look at as they go over the homework in class and she can see where she went wrong (if she did). I don't want her to stress that she's going to get a poor grade if she doesn't fully understand a concept, and think that in that case she might as well not try in the first place. The incentive to do the work for just a completion stamp is that if you don't, you aren't eligible for retakes on the unit test and most of the kids want to keep that door open.[/quote]
