Homework is expected to be done. Homework will be counted as a grade toward
your semester grade. It will have the same weight as classwork grades. My
grading policy is 50% tests, 25% quizzes, and 25% homework/classwork.
Homework should be written down by your child on a daily basis. I am placing
homework on the web site as a courtesy. However, teaching is fluid and
plans often change. If my homework does change I will try to update but I
cannot gaurantee. I am human and will try my best. I will repeat that it is
the student's responsibility to write their homework down.
