Homework and Class Assignments
Homework refers to assignments relating to school work that students do at home. This type of assignment is different from a class assignment or activity that the teacher expects most students to finish at school. Since the goals of an individual class assignment are frequently repeated in other assignments or experiences, teachers usually will not assign unfinished class assignments as homework.
They will, however, discuss with parents any consistent problems in completing assignments to determine the best course of action for a particular student struggling with work skills.
Teachers may allow students to begin homework at school, but most students will need to take the work home to finish it. Each middle school student receives approximately 4-5 hours of study hall time per week. During this time many students are able to finish the days assignments.
Occasionally a family circumstance may prevent a child from completing an assignment. In such a case, a parent can send a note to the teacher explaining the circumstances and requesting that the student have an extra day to complete the assignment.
