Kids dont get grades so they dont care about doing homework or failing a test. I understand the concept of not destroying a kid mentally before he gets to high school because they are stupid as shit but I think it has a terrible effect on the smarter kids. We make our kids do the work but often times they dont turn it in because they dont have to. I guess it is somewhat nice that there is more pressure on the parents and less on the teacher but I dont think this will suddenly make more parents want to be involved in their kids education and those same parents will still blame teachers for their retarded kids.
They should care about the tests, for sure, but would it be the worst thing in the world to have less homework and more tests? Most homework is busy work or grade-padding, not everyone has the home environment or the hours in a day to grind out homework night after night. By middle school, when there's little/no coordination between teachers as to how much homework they're collectively assigning, it gets out of hand. I'm not saying no homework, no grades, but at a point a lot of it just rewards being Good At School. Just make it matter, y'know?

I kind of think that is the point of an A. It should be a reward for being good at school. Shouldnt kids that work hard or that are smarter than others be rewarded with better grades? And dumb lazy kids be "rewarded" with a C. I dont see a problem "padding" a kids grade when they go home and do their homework rather than sitting on their tablet and doing shit all night long. Hey Lama, how about a little something for the effort? I know it wont necessarily make kids smarter when they do homework but I do think they should be rewarded for the effort rather than lumped in a group with every other kid.
