[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is how it works in most university level classes. Homework is essential to do, but worth a small percentage of grades. It makes sense to me, as tests actually measure a students ability. On homework, you expect the student gets some help.[/quote] This only works if the appropriate homework is actually being assigned, though, and if kids realize that they have to do the homework to do well on the tests. I'm in DCPS right now, but what I'm hearing is that no homework or useless homework is being assigned due to the "equity" concerns. Alternatively if the homework really is essential, it doesn't really help kids not to convey that through making it part of the grade. Then only the students with parents who are on top of things know that homework is worth more than its percentage. [/quote]
