A1 As a T, I thought it was important at 1st but when I didn’t see value in grading it; realized there wasn’t value in giving it #DitchBook

A1: Ss are reluctant to do math HW, particularly when it gets 'hard'. Some can finish in mins, others take hours. Not equitable. #DitchBook

#DitchBook A1 As a beginning T, looking back I gave homework just to give it. The view: if you were not giving it, were not doing your job.

Ryan7Read Aug 3 @ 10:09 PM EDT

A1: As an S, never ended, many nights of hours of stuff barely covered As a T I didn't do it last 2 years but enrichment happened #DitchBook
