ZAP it / HW Policy Survey


  1. Big Picture: Do you agree with the statement: "All assigned work is important and all students will be required to complete all work satisfactorily.
    Yes
    Yes all work is important, but students who don't take some personal responsibility to get work done "satisfactorily" should be allowed to fail.
    No


  1. Do you have a suggestion of an overriding philosophy that we could adopt for G7-8 HW at CRMS?


  1. Do you believe that HW completion policies should be the same for G7 and G8 at CRMS .
    Yes - Consistency is king!
    No - Needs of G7 and G8 students are different - Let teams decide.
    Similar - G8 policy should be an appropriate evolution of G7 policy.

  1. Do you believe that all classes/teachers should have a 100% consistent work completion policy.
    Yes - ¡Viva consistency!
    No - Teachers need flexibility as different subjects have different types of HW needs.
    Similar - There should be a broad G7-8 (or grade level) framework, but individual teachers need flexibility within that framework.
