Perhaps you misread that forum title ? It reads "Homework: Grade K-12", not "Homework Grades:K-12".Victor Frankenstein said:Whould you like to see this part "Homework Grades:K-12" of the forum removed, why or why not ?

If my students were doing their homework better than me, I'd remove myself from my job and think about a different career.Lisa! said:If I was a teacher, I would get angry because of these kind of forums and ask you to remove this part! Just imagine your students do their homework better than you!
Agreed! The best part here is that they don't just get handed answers, so it promotes learning, not cheating.Gokul43201 said:If my students were doing their homework better than me, I'd remove myself from my job and think about a different career.
Victor Frankenstein said:There kids in high school already taking advance math and science courses so that's where I am comming from, high school algebra II for exa is pretty much the same as college algebra, concepts such as factoring a cubic polynomial doesn't change. Same with high school physics courses, problems simillar can be found in college textbooks.

It's usually pretty obvious when they do that. You can report those posts if you think they're posting homework in brainteasers.matthyaouw said:Unless they post them in the brainteaser forum...
It's not strange if sometimes students could find better solution to a problem especially if they get help from a scientist.( And we shouldn't expect a teacher to be more knowledgeable than a scientist.) That's why I think students could do their homework better than their teacher. So if a teacher would be clever enough, s/he can come here and learn more.Gokul43201 said:If my students were doing their homework better than me, I'd remove myself from my job and think about a different career.
Some people believe that removing homework grades would alleviate the pressure and stress on students, allowing them to focus on learning rather than achieving a specific grade. It would also give students more time for extracurricular activities or other interests, promoting a more well-rounded education.
Opponents argue that homework grades are an important measure of a student's understanding and effort. Removing them could lead to a decrease in motivation and accountability for completing assignments. It could also make it harder for teachers to track a student's progress and identify areas for improvement.
This is a debated topic. Some believe that colleges would still have other measures, such as test scores and class grades, to evaluate a student's academic performance. However, others argue that homework grades could provide valuable insight into a student's work ethic and time management skills.
Teachers may have to find alternative ways to assess a student's understanding and progress, such as through class participation or projects. It could also require a shift in teaching strategies and classroom management. Some teachers may be in favor of removing homework grades as it could decrease their workload, while others may see it as a valuable tool for evaluating student performance.
There have been studies that suggest that homework may not have a significant impact on student achievement, leading some to question the usefulness of homework grades. However, there is also research that supports the importance of homework in reinforcing learning and preparing students for future academic success. Ultimately, the effectiveness of removing homework grades may vary depending on the individual student and their learning style.
