Re: handing in homework
Posted by Waski_the_Squirrel on 4/10/08

    I walk the room and check that work is done. They can't very
    well claim that they didn't know.

    I do not score everything. I mark that it is done, but that is
    all. This makes sense because, as I tell the kids, most homework
    is practice. You aren't scored on basketball practice. You are
    scored on the game (exam).

    A colleague of mine does collect every assignment, but she then
    grades only 2 random problems from each assignment. This gives
    them an added incentive to do it.

    If they are not paying attention, that really is your problem. A
    child whose mind is wandering is one thing. A child who is
    talking and doesn't hear your instruction is another. Expect
    better behavior and you'll get it.

    Tom has a lot of details on his post, so I've tried to avoid
    duplicating what he said.
