[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the reason homework is not graded because parents do the homework?[/quote] No. It's been described as an equity issue. It's also why now grades in a class are skewed such that Summative assessments (i.e. tests) have far more weight than Formative (i.e. homework). APS doesn't want to disadvantage kids with home lives that aren't conducive to doing homework. Examples such as limited internet access, need to watch younger family members or hold after school jobs, and so on. [/quote]
