I have watched my son struggle with homework that didn't seem relevant or took too long to complete. I will do my best to ensure that you do not face the same struggles. I suggest you set aside a regular time to do homework. Any students who see me after school (parents, I work with students after school so you don't have to help them unless you want to. Sttudent have no excuse for not understanding the homework) have an advantage because I make certain they are doing the homework correctly.

By the way, if the entire class completes their homework for 60 days in a row I bring food. You may know some of the students below who earned pizzas and drinks! T
I keep a sign outside the class tracking how many days in a row students have completed homework assignments that says:
EVERY STUDENT IN THIS CLASS HAS COMPLETED HIS/HER HOMEWORK FOR _______ DAYS IN A ROW.
Each day after checking to see that each child has his or her work I change the total. This sign serves as a positive motivator because after sixty days in a row that the class continues to complete each and every homework assignment I cook or buy food to give them at lunchtime every week until a student/s do not complete their homework
If you have good habits and complete 100% (you have the right to dismiss homework one time by using the OOPS pass) of your homework you earn the right to increase your letter grade to the next highest level during each quarter. For example, a B+ grade would increase to an A -.
