Tonight I read an article in Michele's CIT blog called Why are kids failing? This question puzzled me because like most of you I have my own opinion about this issue. Personally, I think the biggest problem is laziness. Students go home and watch T.V. instead of focusing on academics. This problem can be solved very simply, Do the work. Not doing homework just makes it harder for you to take that final at the end of the semester. I also think procrastination is a part of it. Students screw around and end up not completing assignments. I think that in order for grades to go up homework needs to be completed on time and most of all it needs to be correct.
What matters to me about this article is that teachers teach and expect completed homework and good test grades. However, this doesn't always happen so the teachers wonder, well, what did I do wrong?". To be quite honest its your students that are the problem. when they don't do there homework how do you expect a grade out of them. teachers give homework and we do it the end.
