Late Homework Pass

October 26, 2009

From C. Sanders, a high school English teacher in Brooten, Minnesota

Some teachers reward students by giving them a free homework pass that allows them to skip a homework assignment. I think this is a really bad idea, because it implies that the homework wasn’t important. Instead of a free homework pass, consider giving your students a late homework pass that allows them to hand in an assignment one day late without penalty. This can be used for those rare times when grandma came over unexpectedly, the playoffs are going on, or a kid was ill the evening before but felt well enough to come to school the next day. Then, instead of excusing students from doing the valuable and necessary work, we are just letting them have a little extra time to complete it.

I've done this for years and love it. The kids know I feel homework is important. I find my better students don't even use the passes during the year but turn them in at the end for treats.

I love this. I have been looking for something, other than not handing in homework. I feel the ones that would take advantage of not turning it in are the ones that really need to do it.

Great idea, I have been trying to convince my team the same thing. Also try free extra credit pass.

It's an excellent idea! We don't want to devalue the concept of homework and this is a little perk.

I think you made a valid point about the value of homework. I like the late homework pass. Very good idea.
