Re: MarjoryT or others: Length of Units
Posted by Robert F on 9/01/08
I fully agree with the points you are making. Our students are
expected to meet the same standards as students in other schools that
assign homework. I am going to keep pushing for it. We need all of
the tools we can get. And I am always at school into the evenings and
make myself available to the students. I can see that the students
you teach are similar to ours.
Thanks again for your thoughts.
