HOMEWORK

The Agawam School Committee recognizes the worth of homework for students and encourages flexibility on the part of administrators and teachers in providing for homework.

Communication among teachers of the same students is an important aspect in solving problems related to homework. An internal "school policy" on homework should be developed by each school staff as part of the inservice program for teachers. Continuous inservice work must focus attention on good practices.

Homework assignments can be one of the best sources of public good will. The development of a sensible philosophy of homework in each school requires the careful attention of teachers, principals, and curriculum workers.
