    I picked all of the above! The "other" would be for me to assign different sections of a project or essay to be worked on at home.

    I believe homework should be extra practice that helps the students better learn the information.

    I believe HW serves 2 purposes. 1) Gives students extra practice and review of the skills and content learned in the classroom 2) Gives parents an opportunity to help their child with those skills. --if the parents are involved at all--& be up to date with what their child is learning. I've noticed that when parents are involved they are on the same page as me when it comes time to discuss their child's strengths and weaknesses. They see what I see and are inclined to work with their child in strengthening those skills.
