A1 didn't like it but had to do it I do think we need practice but too much at home I didn't like #MOedchat

conniehamilton Apr 13 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1: Here's my kindergarten picture. Throughout school I cared about getting HW done, but didn't necessarily care if I learned. #MOedchat

michelelkelly Apr 13 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1: I didn't mind HW as a S at first, but I didn't struggle and finished quickly. Later, I struggled to see the point. Boring. #MOedchat

WinkelerD Apr 13 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1: I thought about homework as something necessary to learn and grow. I felt that it helped make me better as a S. #moedchat

Wasn't sure about coming in to this chat because I am so very anti-homework in any form. #moedchat

KBaumgartner75 Apr 13 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1 Never a fan of doing hmwk but I felt it was just a part of learning & practicing skills. I completed it responsibly #moedchat

e_whalen Apr 13 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1: The academic part of school was my strength as a kid so I didn't mind hw too much. Didn't usually read though - just faked it #MOedchat

hackmylearning Apr 13 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A1: How many students approach homework with this perspective? Compliance doesn't equal learning. #MOedchat

TedHiff - Moderator Apr 13 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A1. In high school I did the work. I put in more effort for those classes w/ passionate teachers. #moedchat

TTmomTT Apr 13 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A1: I had to do my homework or my parents would kill me. I didn't think about learning from it, it was just something I had to do. #moedchat

A1. I was a classic over-achiever. I'm stunned now at how little I've retained. #moedchat

wmchamberlain Apr 13 @ 10:09 PM EDT

Homework doesn't fit into my education philosophy. I see it as an infringement on the students' and familiy's time. #moedchat

herleadrshplsns Apr 13 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Kia here! A1 I liked reports/projects/worksheets. My mom was in school 2. We did work together. Felt like I learned something #moedchat

i3algebra Apr 13 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Agreed. There are few assignments I remember. #moedchat

In reply to @debbiefuco

wmchamberlain Apr 13 @ 10:11 PM EDT

I skipped lunch in HS to get my math done in the library. I chose to not eat over having homework. That is a big deal. #moedchat #iliketoeat

e_whalen Apr 13 @ 10:12 PM EDT

I loved math hw - it was my strength. I don't teach math, miss it like crazy. I've been known to do math in my sleep. #notkidding #MOedchat

Bethany_Petty Apr 13 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1: homework for me was something to finish ..not worried abt learning. Except for the higher level activities- those were good! #moedchat

conniehamilton Apr 13 @ 10:12 PM EDT

So HW didn't help you remember what you learned forever? #moedchat

A2: No. It is practice to help them become better. It should just be a check-point to ensure they're learning and understanding #moedchat

KBaumgartner75 Apr 13 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2 No grading on items that are just skill practice or wksts. Long term projects should receive some form of a grade #moedchat

ChrisQuinn64 Apr 13 @ 10:17 PM EDT

sitting without a pencil is not about refusal. Give a kid a pencil. Learning is learned. #moedchat

A6 Do you want the student to be excited about the lesson and continue learning? If yes, skip the homework. #MOedchat

We should assign students eat a good supper and go to bed early as homework. #moedchat

True-but when Ss know they can take it as HW, they just say, I'll do it tonight instead of working now. It's their choice to make. #moedchat

Mariano research identified Homework and Practice as a High-Yield Strategy. Key is doing it correctly. #moedchat

Is "silly" a key word tonight? Coming late to the chat and I am seeing it used quite a bit #moedchat

College students are also not in the presence of a teacher for 35 hours a week. #moedchat

I have bins with all necessary supplies, so it's usually about defiance. That's why I get Ps involved. Refusal is NOT an option. #moedchat

Many college courses have optional HW. Most classes are based on 3-4 test scores. We don't prepare them for that with HW points #MOedchat

I think there might be more research around success in school on food and sleep than there is around positive effects of HW. #moedchat

Yes! Each class/situation/student is different. Never say never and never say always. #MOedchat

Having a No HW Policy is just as silly as having a HW Every Night policy. It is what you are doing with it. #moedchat

Hello #moedchat PLN and @conniehamilton!! I'm a *tad* late to the party but Im crazy happy I made it! Much positive energy. Wow!

When you teach only one night a week homework is a necessity and email communication with students is key! #moedchat

That's because the people in #moedchat are too polite to say sometimes homework is stupid.

Yeah i guess when I think back to my college it was 3-4 test scores and (b/c of my major) LOTS of writing. #moedchat

#moedchat Most relevant and important HW I think is retrieval practice. But how to make it engaging so that they do is the question.

Homework also doesn't necessarily = continued learning. #moedchat

"practice" doesn't mean independent at home in his research. Effect size for HW from @john_hattie is .21 #moedchat

Such a good point @TTmomTT about the connection to higher ed. Hw doesn't prepare you for college work. #moedchat
