 Re: Homework Waiver!
well said, but I figured that making it optional and putting in a failure-to-comply consequesnse would account for that. What I don't understand is why people say they wouldn't even vote for it.
If they believe that it will make school too easy, that everyone will be lazy and get good grades, then that wold just support my idea, get rid of homework and increase the complexity of ideas discussed.
If they just vote against it just because they personally wouldn't use it, why? Would these same people vote against welfare? Why not just vote yes and not use it.
If they wish to teach their kids responsibility, stop giving them things. Make them work for what they want, without homework they will have the time to do so, and they will internalize the importance of self-reliance, not just because you say so.
If they think it will just make the smart kids even more bored, they are DEAD wrong. Nothing is more boring than having to repeat the same material over and over. Besides, the kids that need extra work to comprehend will still have to do the work!
I would really like to hear the critisism of this proposal, and not just people that think I personally am an irrisponsible lazy young man. |
