- The idea that homework should not be graded is a completely new idea to me. With my experience in middle/high school, ALL of my teachers graded homework. It was not until college that I have had a few teachers who did not grade the work.
- If students value learning, they will value their assigned work, even without having a grade for it.
- I need to make sure that I am assigning homework that is beneficial and worthwhile for a student to complete.
- Homework needs to be aligned with what we are going over in class and what will be on the assessments.
- I believe the "homework helps students who test poorly" is a poor excuse to continue to grade students. As a teacher, a large responsibility is placed on teachers to make sure their students understand what they are to be assessed over. Because of this point, I may consider not grading
- Yes. Most of my teachers have graded all homework, but when I entered college, I had a few professors only produce grades for exams. The assigned reading, questions, and activities were all in the name of knowledge, not points.
