[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents who don't enforce homework are pathetic.

Homework has a purpose! It's to help gauge where kids may still need help on a topic or skill.

When I get homework papers back and see that 9 out of 18-22 kids all missed the same problem, I know that it's a topic we need to cover again. Guess when it's too late to cover that topic again? After they've taken a test and gotten a bad grade.

Parents don't want to enforce homework because they don't want to deal with whiny kids who don't want to do it. However, had you started a good routine from the beginning in K, you'd have no whiny kids. I have plenty of parents who send me emails that say exactly this. "Brandon isn't receptive to hw afterschool so we will not be participating."

So if roughly half the class fails the same area of a test, you keep pushing forward even when you know you haven’t effectively taught the material, then blame the parents? Why is that too late to fix? It sounds like a teacher issue or a structural issue with testing and scoring to me. It’s ridiculous to think the only way you can gauge progress is with homework and your hands are tied with no way to fix it if children don’t do lots of homework every night. [/quote]
