Do you give homework Twitter poll

This was my most successful poll yet. Over 200 people participated. Thank you! Participants had three choices this time.

1) Yes I give homework (daily or weekly).
2) Yes, but... (for those that only assign reading, incomplete class work and etc)
3) No! #ditchhw

I voted option #2. I usually give homework when there's incomplete class work. I give enough time to my students to complete the work. They have enough time to come see me and ask questions. On top of that, I e-mail the questions and answers to parents so that they feel more comfortable helping out.

Another type of homework that is assigned in my class is studying for a test. Students will know of an evaluation one week in advance. How much they study is up to them and their parents. I'll also give time in the classroom to study as well.

The last type of homework ''given'' are projects. I like to give different types of projects during the school year. I give enough time to complete the projects in the classroom (weeks, months, whatever is necessary to create something worthwhile). However, sometimes students like to work on the projects at home. This happens quite often because I think the projects are fun and interesting.

Now, here are the results of the Twitter poll:

Participants had interesting things to say:

I don't think there's a right or wrong way to do things. There are so many ways to teach. As long as you are true to your values and your schools' values and as long as you have your students' well-being at heart, you can't go wrong. Of course, that is just my opinion.
