Chapter 9

I agree that homework should not be graded. Homework is a way for students (and the teacher!) to check for understanding. Grading homework does not seem fair to me at all because it is practice. I think that there are good ways to give extra credit in a classroom, though. For students who are struggling with material, extra credit work may really help out their grade. Students should be allowed to make up their work as well. As a teacher, I need to talk to students who have work to make up and allow them to make a plan to get that work to me.
