[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]homework is also often only 10% of the grade - and its not looked it, only checked as "completed"[/quote]

But if kids don't do it, how can they do well in the other 90% of the class? And when is their time in a 45 minute class for start homework? That isn't a lot of time to go over last night's homework, introduce and develop a new concept, and practice it.[/quote]

You're absolutely correct. Homework is no longer a part of the learning process. They DO sometimes go over it in class, if it is Math etc. and that's where, if there is time, the teacher will re-explain a concept if everyone has got particularly answers wrong, etc.[/quote]

Totally disagree.  My kids regularly had homework in math and language classes — almost daily.  Tons of hkmework (really too much) in the AP social studies classes.   Science seemed to come in spurts.  Not enough homework in English class I think — when I was in school we did a lot of essays and read a challenging lengthy book almost every month (I remember my freshman English class we read Great Expectations, catcher in the rye, Frankenstein, the Iliad, a Shakespeare play, the great gatsby and at least one more).  It seems like even honors English reads maybe two books, both fairly modern so a quicker read, and no real essays or longer writing pieces.  I feel for the English teachers are it is really hard to have writing assignments when you’re teaching 150 kids a day, but English is definitely a weak point.

You are probably at a different school.  We had math homework 1-2 days a week last year for precal.   English was a joke with two books.  End of year was a movie, they did not even get a copy of the book.  [/quote]
