I do not assign homework. All work I assign can be done in class. If students are absent or waste their time during class, then work will have to be completed on their own time. The only time I give “homework” is if students need to read books. I always give silent reading time in class, but reading outside of class is usually the reality when studying English.
I know students have busy lives outside of school, and I am only supposed to grade and mark their work done in class. I believe that studying and work at home is necessary for success in education and in the future, but I will not assign work that needs to be completed the next day for marking, etc.
