[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher attitude about HW on here is very Homer/Bart - Can't win, don't try!

HW should be 20% of the grade. And it should be enforced. Are the kids running the schools or is it the staff? Sure seems like the students.

1/5 of a grade should be based on work I am not even sure the student did independently? Or did at all? There are group text chains going around where one kid does the assignment, takes a picture, and sends it to 20 other kids. You’re saying a kid who gets 50% on all assessments should get at least a C because they turn in copied hw? That’s crazy.[/quote]

This is why you give pop quizzes to see who is doing their own work. If they copied it and don't know how to do it you will find out. Stop throwing up your hands and letting the kids win.

The 50% on all assessments you refer to, is that about not giving zeros? Aren't the zeros back? If not, then yes, all the homework and other work as far as I am concerned is useless.[/quote]

0s are only for small, unattempted assignments. The lowest grade we can give for an attempt is a 50%. So yes, the floor for assessments is 50% even if the kid demonstrated 10% proficiency.[/quote]
