Why I assign homework:
I believe homework is important because it is a valuable aid in helping students make the most of their experience in school. I give homework because it is useful in reinforcing what has been learned in class, prepares students for upcoming lessons, helps me to identify where students need additional instruction, teaches responsibility, and helps students develop positive study habits.
When homework will be assigned:
Every Monday a homework packet for the week will come home, and it is due the following Monday, one week later. I do accept late submissions until Friday (4 days later) but 10% is taken off of homework turned in between Monday (the due date) and Friday (the last day I will accept it late.)
Student's homework responsibilities:
I expect student's to do their best job on their homework. I expect homework to be completed neatly. I expect students to do the work on their own and only ask for help after they have given their best effort. I expect that all assignments will be turned in on time.
