Homework

There is a lot of debate in the education world about homework. Is it good or is it bad? I have been doing some research and find the debate interesting. For me personally I try to assign HW that can be done individually so that our class time can be used to learn from one another. However, I feel that HW should be kept to a minimum because I want my students to be able to play in the sun, get exercise, socialize, and spend time with their family. In other words, I want my students to live so that they can experience the world and come to class with experiences to share and learn from.

I want to know what you think about HW. Please cut and paste the questions below to your response and answer. Your responses will help me become a better teacher, so be honest and thoughtful. Thanks!

• What types of HW have been asked to do is Social Studies and Langauge Arts?
• Do you usually do your HW? If yes, when where, how, and why? If not, why not?
• What are some HW tasks that you have found intersting and/or useful?
• What do you do outside of school that relates to SS or LA?
