If those reasons aren’t convincing enough for you, by all means try saving all your work for one day and let me know how it goes. You may deal with it differently, better than I do. However I encourage you to do otherwise and at least do some homework Friday afternoon, Saturday morning or afternoon. I am trying to rethink my homework grading policies and this seems to resonate with me the most. But then my administrators said that this wasn’t in alignment with our school policy, so I had to come up with another idea. Now if someone didn’t finish half the assignment, their grade was not so pretty. Let’s say they didn’t try 4 out of the 7 problems at all. Well, that’s -15 each, so their grade was a very-fair-but-not-so-flattering 40%. Got it back the next day with a giant red sharpie X on it and a 0 points next to it. Never did figure out why other than she said it “wasn’t the answer in the teachers manual. My daughter was so discouraged because she was so proud of that paper and thought she got most of them right. She had a question “why do astronaughts float in space? ” She answered with “Astronaughts float in space because there is no gravity in space.” I was happy with it so signed off on it and put it in her bag. I’ve graded for completion, not graded at all, or some combination of accuracy/completion. One method I tried which I really loved for the most part, was assigning a 50 if every problem was attempted, and then checking 5 problems at random for accuracy. I’m in my 26th year of teaching, and grading homework is something I seem to go back and forth on, over and over and over. I’ll never forget a paper my daughter did in 1st grade. Saving everything for one day can be overwhelming, whether or not you know what you’re in for or not. You could have one assignment due, though likely not, or you could have ten. Make sure you check before you save everything for the last day. It was full of X marks because she didn’t elaborate or get the answer she was looking for despite them being correct. The following year her teacher had a system with a rubric and it went phenomenally better. I came across this looking for a decent way to keep grades for a 4th grader but not be so stringent. She wants into a program that requires us to submit grades. And still others choose to just give a completion grade but not grade the work itself.

And I knew if I could get them to listen to me, the chances of us doing business grew exponentially. I took great pride in it â€" at times driving my mother a bit crazy in my quest for perfectionism, relentless as I double and triple checked my work for mistakes. When I confessed my sins to Michael Goldspiel, my son’s beloved assistant principal , he summed up the problem better than I could. “Being wrong is part of the process of understanding,” he said. “Going out on a limb, being willing to take a chance, is a critical skill not just for homework, but for life.” He couldn’t be more correct. A very accurate reflection of how much work and effort they put forth. I knew I needed to change how I graded homework, but I wasn’t too thrilled with just giving them a percentage grade either. There are quite a few different views about whether or not homework should be graded. e reviewed the most up to date research that we could find on the subject of multitasking to give parents a better understanding of what it takes to be a successful student. Make use of those awkward segments of time throughout the day when you may have a 10-minute opening. Have a couple minutes before your meeting starts? Study anytime by loading your notes onto your phone or turning them into digital, on-the-go flashcards. I don’t know how my stance on homework will play out long-term.
