Grading....it's Grating

Down in Dallas they're having a great debate over what homework should mean and how grading should be done. The whole thing has echoes of a similar conversation from Arlington, WA earlier this year.

If a kid doesn't do homework, whaddyado?

In related news, I think I'm going to majorly overhaul how I do homework this year. Previously I've sent home a homework packet every Monday, the same for each kid, but I think this year I'm going to send home more targetted assignments that the parents and child can complete (or not) at their discretion.
