I know I'm a little late here but I forgot to mention this-my kids used to come home with homework which they had no idea how to complete.
This is high school mind you.
Of course as a parent you get so annoyed-I'm like what are you doing in class all day that you have no clue what to do?
Then my youngest let it slip.
"It doesn't matter because we go over the answers in class"
Me: " yes, but you'll get a failing grade"
" No. They grade it after we go over it"
Me: " Wait. What? "
" We go over it as a class and make the corrections. Then they grade it 100. "
This is a true story and was later confirmed by the principal. When I asked the principal what would drive the students to even bother to try and pay attention in class or complete their homework, he said and I quote " It isn't trying and failing, it's going over the work and being correct together"
So it doesn't even matter if the class answer is right or wrong. Looks like they pushed Project Mockingbird into the schools now instead of just the media. They must ALL AGREE...
