Homework Bill of Rights - First Draft

All right, friends...here it is.  The Homework Bill of Rights.  Take a gander, see how it reads, and give me some feedback.  Once we have it down pat, I'll publish it so you can use or share as you please.  My teacher friends, your input would be especially helpful!  If there are thing you wish your students and/or their parents knew, include them. 

HOMEWORK BILL OF RIGHTS

Homework is not a punishment; it is a chance to grow.

 

1.       If you are not sure how to answer a question; you may ask for help; however, I will not answer it for you.

2.       You are responsible for making sure all homework is complete and assignment book is signed.

3.       If you have tried your best to answer a question and still cannot, I will help you find how to answer the question; again, I will not answer it for you.

4.       You are responsible for bringing home any books needed to complete homework. Failure to do so results in late homework and the consequences that brings at school.  After three times, you will also receive a consequence at home.

5.       A study time of 15 minutes is needed for daily quizzes; for tests, you must study until the material is learned.  If you need help reviewing the material, we will be happy to quiz you on the facts.

6.       Recite Bible verse daily.  Your time learning God’s word is the most important thing you will do all day.

7.       Read for AR every day.  Every day you do not bring your book home, you lose 15 minutes of TV time.

8.       There will be no TV or other electronic devices allowed until homework is complete, except if the computer is needed for research.

9.       Calculators are not allowed for basic math problems.  Use scrap paper if needed to figure it out.

10.   Be happy!  Be thankful God has provided for you to attend a Christian school.

11.   Remember that you are loved.   We are here to help you be the best you can be, but we can’t do it for you.  Make good choices!
