teach 5th grade math and science, and I agree that homework is very important. Every child always needs practice in math. I have learned to not give a lot of homework because it doesn't get done and then I become frustrated when it is not complete. I feel that sometimes it wastes more time to assign it and go over it with the students that have completed it, because then I feel like I am answering double the questions the next day when the rest have completed it. The district that I teach in is very large, so we have a very diverse group of parents and amount of involvement. Sometimes I find myself giving less so that I don't become frustrated. It is the same group of kids each day that don't have homework done, and when you hear their home story, it is no wonder why it isn't done.
I do not grade homework all of the time, but each day i do check to see if it is done. At the end of the nine weeks, homework is put into a grade. This can either help some of them a little or some it does hurt their grade.
I would like to know how some people get all students to always complete homework.
