A Teenager Didnt Do Her Online Schoolwork So A Judge Sent Her To Juvenile Detention.

A Teenager Didn’t Do Her Online Schoolwork So A Judge Sent Her To Juvenile Detention. We have several wonderful “coaches” who can help students set up systems, create strategy sheets, and provide successful study tips. There are also several websites who have good strategies and ideas; the National Center for Learning Disabilities and LD Online are two excellent sites with additional links. Finally, with the student, create a plan of how a task will be done. When my son started struggling to start chores after school, we created a checklist for each task he was to complete. The checklist included my expectations for each chore, the items he would need to complete the chore (broom, sponge, etc.) and how much time might be needed for each task. Then he came up with his own plan of when the chores would be completed. Taking ownership of the tasks and knowing what was expected reduced our arguments and my complaints. While he still needed the occasional nudge, he learned how to start tasks on his own without a lot of excuses or tears. I teach 6th grade and I do something almost exactly like this. I only count a homework assignment as 10 points, and most assignments are between 8 and 12 questions. I would ask students to redo the work in neater handwriting (or typed if they insisted they couldn’t write neater) if they wanted the answer to be graded. I used to take off additional points when students didn’t follow directions. It does take more work some nights, however I know my students are understanding a concept and not just skipping over the concept. I taught in the social studies department and many times could not read an answer due to horrible handwriting. I’m talking things like using pen instead of pencil, using the wrong kind of paper, not putting their name on the paper, not showing their work, etc. I wanted my students to do their very best on their homework, but I also didn’t want to reward them with horrible grades when they inevitably made mistakes as part of the learning process. The problem with this, though, is that the students quickly learn that homework doesn’t count for a grade and thus they’re much less motivated to put much effort into it. Because I have a BIG problem with the amount of time-zapping homework my daughter’s school system doles out and because of that, I’ve decided my daughter won’t be doing her homework anymore.

All homework is worth 5 points no matter how many priblemsni assign. If students valiantly attempt them all and they’re all right I give them 5. If they attempt them all but missed some I give a 4.5 or 4 just depends on the effort. I rarely gave below a 3 unless students just didn’t do their work. The group then becomes one Homework grade and it usually has 15 to 25 problems. If Drill Quizzes are especially low then students can do the “Drill Work” in written form for some additional points which usually improves their quiz scores as well. I like your suggestions, I allow my 4th and 5th graders to return an assignment as often as needed until they reach -0. My thought is that I want them to identify their error/mistake and correct it independently, if possible. If the student has not completed the draft, he cannot work on revising and editing with peers. It’s a sticking point that I just cannot find an answer to. Good ideas which I agree homework is important but we need to be sure it does not become a Black Hole that draws them to their doom. Also, for every section I assign 2 to 3 “Problems” which are required in written form then I collect these on the test day as a group for the sections covered on the test. I take off 1/2 point for each incorrect problem. Occasionally I will make a short assignment worth 5 points or a longer one worth 15 but I grade the same way. Students rarely leave the problem blank, but I may rethink this and take off 1 full point for undone work. There’s just no way to give enough class time for EVERYONE to finish â€" some students need more time. What are your thoughts on writing homework such as drafts of an essay?
