Question 24 of 33

How often do you send your students with homework? What is your philosophy on homework?

"I believe that the majority of work should be completed during school hours so that students can focus on their families, and extracurricular activities once the bell rings. There are exceptions, of course! Students who are falling behind and need tutoring will obviously have some homework. Also, around SAT's and other important exams, I will give small amounts of homework."

      "Learning is on-going, and I give homework at least 3-4 times a week. It doesn't always have to be a heavy load but something to practice new concepts, so they get better at it making them more prepared during tests."
