When I am struggling with Language Arts and excelling at Math, the extra time spent on unmastered Language homework benefits me. The extra time spent on Math serves only to waste my time and distract me from the Language work that needs my central focus.
The intention of homework is to benefit the student. The reality is that most students would be best served by skipping the homework and getting some exercise instead.
In the gradebook, the unit test score should be the floor for all homework scores in that unit. Score a 95% on the test, and even if you turn in zero homework, a 95% should be recorded for each assignment. S
Turn in 95% on each and every homework assignment, but score a 65% on the test? You keep your 95% scores showing you put in the work, even though you clearly haven't mastered the material.
Turn in no homework, and score a 65% on the test? Every homework assignment is now a 65%.
With this system, doing the homework can only help you. Skipping the homework is risky, but allowable.
That's mostly how the math department at my uni did things. Though a high-scoring final would only bring you up by 10% overall.
