#txeduchat A1 - Becoming less of a fan. With all this technology, work should just be work. Have to rethink model. There is a better way.

conniehamilton Dec 18 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: As a HS student, if I didn't see relevance, or didn't have time b/c I was working, and I didn't want the zero, I admit... #txeduchat

This was my oldest son. Why do I have to do this, I already know how. Um... IDK, b/c your teacher said so was best answer I had. #txeduchat

If you're a teacher and you won't do 30 minutes of PD every night, why would you assign homework to your kids? #txeduchat

A7 (cont): ...builds foundation. Hw only given to translate lesson into real life relationships. Makes kiddos feel empowered #txeduchat

A7: In all honesty, any "official" homework for my Title1 Gr8th Ss sets them up for failure, excepting one, specific class #txeduchat

Do you provide alternatives for S's that dont wish to engage in this process based on personal issues? #txeduchat

I see your point but I would consider professional twitter, lesson planning, and grading, teachers "homework" #txeduchat
