GUILTY.
There, I said it. I'm one of "those teachers". One of those teachers who gives homework. It isn't the best part of my job. On the contrary, it's one of the least favorites. I don't relish in the opportunity to make my students continue their classwork because I couldn't cover everything during my 51 minutes with them. It doesn't bring me joy to know that there are times that they will have band practice, soccer games, and siblings to care for when they get home, leaving homework time to the 11:30 p.m. range. More importantly, I don't feel like the work that my students are doing outside of my class is going to drastically improve 100% of my students' abilities to master any given standard. |
