[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]

My kid had a similarly bad experience with Algebra 1 HN.  Maybe the same teacher. She assigned at least 40 to 60 problems every night. Instead of teaching the concepts, she checked each kids' homework (no credit if you didn't show complete work for every problem)  Then she assigned more homework.  At back to school night, she said she gears the class to the best students and that kids would have to stay after school if they have questions (and then go home late and do their two hours of Algebra and all their other work). She would not cover anything in class beyond one sample problem. [/quote]
