HOMEWORK POLICY

La tarea

The purpose of homework is to reinforce what was taught in class that day and to give practice to the student to facilitate learning.
  • Each assignment checked by the teacher is worth 5 points.
  • Assignments done well (no blanks, arbitrary answers or illegible) and on time will receive 6 points.
  • Assignments not well done or one day late and shown to the teacher at the beginning of the next class period will receive 5 points.
  • Two days late receives 3 points.
  • Three days late receives 1 point.
  • More than three days late results in a 0.
  • Students will NOT be reminded to show late work to the teacher.
  • If you have an early dismissal, it is your responsibility to show your homework to the teacher sometime during the day it is due.  Interruptions of other classes to ask a question or show homework are encouraged.
  • If you are absent, you have the equivalent time of days absent to make up the work for the 6 points.

Homework is important and students need to do it without copying someone else's work.  No learning takes place when homework is simply copied and no time is given to thinking about the assignment.  That's why it's called "cheating," as you are cheating yourself of learning.
