HOMEWORK POLICY
- Greene County Tech Primary
Philosophy
- The educational experience is and should be extended beyond the classroom. Homework provides for learning experience outside, in addition to the traditional classroom setting.
- Homework should be meaningfully guided practice or directed activity based on previous introduced subjects or concepts.
- Homework should be graded and returned to students except for reviews assigned in preparation for examinations.
- Homework completion time and difficulty level should be based on expectations of average students.
- When possible (in most cases) homework should be assigned during class time allowing thorough explanation and practice time.
