This 100%. When they reassess after having more practice, their new grade replaces the old grade.

I didnt do my HW in HS math (for ex) but had a 98% avg in tests and 102% avg in quizzes. I came out with a D. Barely passed HS JUST bc of HW.

DogMom447 :
I agree, but if I don't grade it, students don't think it's important enough to do. So I grade them. Very few points, really won't change final grade.

"But they wont do the homework" Yeah.... If they know the stuff, they dont have to learn it?

railtracer :
i do completion which is similar. your analogy is not good though. most jobs they are going to be reviewed based on the year not one or two things.

I grade, but only participation for practice. (And to put a grade in the book like required). Mastery grades at end of concept are worth more.

Sooooo basically just give all students an a even though they might have not tried or really not getting the concept of the work how would you know if

But if we don't grade homework I would never have passed a single math class. His homework was the only reason I got the D needed to move on.

I think you are exactly right! I think we have graded homework for so long as a way to get leverage to get students to DO the homework..🤷🏼♀️

when I graded practice/homework was graded basically on full credit(turned in done or mostly done) partial credit (turned in with no work or no credit

How about students who struggle with testing though? My daughter has severe test anxiety and will fully understand something and do poorly on tests.

My teachers said, “if you go home and practice it wrong, that’s my fault. I’m not going to grade you on my failure.”

Grading practice hurts ADHD and ASD kids’ grades. They do great on tests, but it’s death by a thousand cuts on HW and assignments

alexthemerman19 :
So yes I agree with they shouldn’t be graded on something they haven’t learned YET but I do think they need practice and those are formative grades

itsmorgendorffer :
That makes sense. Once I got to honors classes, my teachers only counted homework as 'did you do it? Y or N...'

Christine Traylor :
my kids struggled so much. froze on tests. homework didn't get graded. so they never practiced to prepare for those tests. so struggle all school yrs

STEAM Clown :
I create practice quizzes, they can take as many times as they want. they figure out what they are getting wrong. Then take a final quiz for points

We are required to have at least one weekly grades. How do you suggest I meet that expectation.

teachers should only grade tests and quizzes. a huge percent of a grade is put into homework and that p!sses me off

Michael Wang :
Agreed. Good students want both a good grade and to learn. But if they can only choose one, it's the grade. Take the grade distraction out for HW.

MimiKat022 :
I had a teacher who gave me a B in math even though I got 100% on every test. I always thought that was unfair. However, what if the opposite happens?

💯 grading is supposed to reflect content knowledge, not ability to follow directions.

This shouldn’t cause an uproar, that’s common sense.

Legit question.. how do you get your students to TRY on practice without a grade? I usually do participation grade but sometimes that’s not enough

pre-service teacher here: what about those students who count on homework and small percentage assignments to pull their marks up because anxiety over

This! The report cards ask how well they know the skill. I will only know at the end of the unit. Although I do grade hw as participation

JRL :
Yep, that’s what I do … my students are still cheating on the practice… which makes no sense because I tell them you can get every question wrong…..

This would have helped me so much as a kid. I HATED homework. It gave me anxiety. It also brought my grades way down.

So then give them a participation grade

I grade it and hand it back for feedback, but it doesn't go in the grade book.

2nd year in the classroom, like you I was in a different profession for 17 years. We’re moving over to standards based and I’m excited yet confused

I agree BUT homework should still be graded so the students can see how they did.

Serious question: Does your district still use the A-F system or have you transitioned to a different system?

I wish I could like this 1000 times! It’s such a mind shift. If a kid needs points to do homework - you’re doing it wrong!! 😬

Mermaid Lizzie :
so do you still grade homework as complete/incomplete? or not at all? because as a student I struggled in classes that didn't care if I did the hw

We’re starting to use standard base. Could you do a video on how you do it?

i think that a score on the work is good, just to see how well you understood it. it won’t go into the gradebook, but it’s just to reflect on

Mike | Long Island NY :
Not doing it either doesn't matter b/c they don't need it, or reflects in the final grade. No need to grade it. I even question the need to assign it

I personally think homework should do done away with entirely. But classes should be extended and done more like college classes 2-3 hour classes 1/2

YES! My mom is a HS math teacher and she only grades hw by completion! You get full credit if you at least attempted the problems!

I understand not holding hostage but if you as a teacher don’t know if they are getting the practice how do you know if they understand it?
