[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15:38 here. My kid actually does better when the homework score is not included LOL! She's the kid who is always forgetting to bring hers home or turning it in late. She does fine on the tests. I have a graduate STEM degree myself, so I know she gets the concepts.

But I think having a weekly test and daily quizzes is overkill. I don't get the point of a daily quiz. When do they get actual instruction time?

They don't. The teacher kind of goes over the homework and they take a quiz and get more homework.
The other Algebra I honors classes that have a different teacher get to retake tests, etc...but not this one. [/quote]

Pp again. I should add that each test question is 50% the work shown and 50% the answer. 
My child is the type that does a lot of the work in his head and dc a hard time getting it down on paper. If the kids don't do the work on paper exactly the way that it was taught (not just in any correct manner), they get half off that question.

Hence the word "unforgiving" I used to describe the course. [/quote]
