[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 71642, member: 1967"] I know that some on the board say that homework is not important but as a teacher of four honor's level Algebra 2 classes, I can tell you that there will be a lot of homework in an honor's level class and doing it is critical to success. I can only speak specifically to my curriculum but the honor's level Algebra 2 classes move at a much faster pace than the college prep classes (two extra chapters for the year) so there is very little time for students to practice problems in class. Homework is the way that they practice the material that I present in class and trial and error is the only way to learn advanced math. So I would be very concerned if your difficult child will not do homework. Every year I have a few of those and inevitably they do not do very well in the course and end up moving down to the college prep level. Just a take from someone in the trenches. ~Kathy [img]:teacher:[/img] [/QUOTE]
