[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Academically, the schools are responsible for that. They have my kids for the prime learning hours of the day, I have my own job, and trying to make up for lackluster learning in the evenings after kids are tired and should be doing appropriate social and athletic activities not make up school work.

I want those core hours at school, when student are fresh to be about instruction and engaged learning, then an afternoon with some exercise, family time, meals and wrap up with targeted homework to reinforce what was taught that say in quiet independent contemplation before sleep.

[b]The homework helps student and teacher identify if there were gaps in learning way earlier than waiting till next test[/b], and the break between instruction and homework helps confirm retention. [/quote]

Even if no homework is assigned, teachers are constantly checking during class to make sure students understand. They do not wait until the next test.[/quote]

So on top of instruction, they have time to assess each of the 30 kids within the class day?[/quote]

If they use a self-grading tool like a Canvas quiz a teacher can get near instant information.[/quote]
