Does It Really Matter? (Homework Policy)
“Teaching does not cause learning. Successful attempts by the learner to learn and use what they have learned to achieve a goal causes learning.” ~ author unknown
Homework assignments are designed to empower you to master mathematical/algebraic concepts. It is imperative to complete homework daily, because math is inherently cumulative. You need to comprehend prerequisite concepts in order to succeed as the material becomes more rigorous.
You are expected to attend a tutorial before school, if you do not understand a question or an assignment. If you cannot attend, you need to work with a parent, a sibling, a friend or a tutor. Frequent checkups and other formative assessments will hold you accountable for “small bites,” as we work toward the unit test. There is a strong, positive correlation between amount of homework completed and assessment grades (checkups, quizzes, & tests).
As per the retesting policy, you may retest only after turning in all homework assignments for a unit, complete and correct, in chronological order, the day after your graded test is returned to you. In other words, only students who complete & correct homework assignments have the privilege of retesting.
