[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My student's biology grade appears to include classwork and labs, but not homework. [/quote]

Good, because grading homework is ridiculous.[/quote]

Assigning homework that isn't graded is equally ridiculous.   [/quote]

Homework is supposed to review or practice what was learned in class. If you keep up with it, you generally don’t have to cram for a test. The thing with homework is that parents usually check it at home and make sure it’s all correct. So how can that possible be indicative of a student’s actual understanding of the subject if they got help? It cant. That’s why it’s not graded. It’s more of an effort or completion grade but they don’t care how many you get right or wrong. Generally kids who do well on homework or have parental help will also do well on the tests. That’s what really counts.[/quote]

I seriously doubt that parents are checking over their high school student's Biology homework to ensure it is correct.[/quote]

You couldn’t be more wrong. Just like essays - parents will read it and correct it.[/quote]
