I never did homework... Ever.
Flew through Primary. Top classes and all. Top classes in Intermediate, except half of the last year. I told the teacher I wasn't gonna do any, so he kicked me into a different class.
College, top class 1st year... Then 3rd... Then halfway gave up on life.
Didn't go to any Exams, except maths. Dropped out at 16.
No NCEA 1 for Chris...
I passed Maths though, 18 of my 31 credits came from maths

Hey B - My boy is year 9 also.
My own experience was that homework was just one piece of the jigsaw. Read this a couple of years ago and it made a difference.

I still refer to it on a regular basis cos each year brings a new challenge...(for me mainly)
Haha I always had homework but never told my parents...I mean what was I supposed to do? Sit home and study while all my mates went out and had fun - no way!
I did school cert and have no idea what all this NCEA stuff is about, but homework only boosted what I had learned that day (and if the school is like the one I went to, chances are not much).
When they "do" their homework, alot will just copy the answers out... give him a test paper to see if he can actually do the work, The teacher will usually have a stock pile of these. They love calculators these days, so if he reaches for it with no working he probably doesnt have a clue how the math works.
Well actually...teachers are paid to aim the level of whats taught to the level that the kids are at...Maths isn't the most interesting subject and probally never will be[with the exception of a few] and its probally one of the hardest to engage children into achieving, If their teacher isn't aiming at their level then they are not doing their job.
I hope your not teaching still...because frankly..your attitude is fucking shit!!!
other teachers get along fine..so whats your excuse???
Once again...as a teacher you had support networks to use...if something wasn't working you had the option of going to a higher level...you can't blame the government for that..you can't blame lack of funding on that...you may be able to blame senior management on that to be fair and school policies...but if it were an issuse...were they brought up??? and buy you towards the school...and school addessed it in some way?? what happened in that case...because your not wrong about it being hard to disilpine...but its not always impossible!Originally Posted by MsKABC
Its actually your job?? If you couldn't do it...why didn't you ask other teachers how they managed...because most do.Originally Posted by MsKABC
