A 92 percent homework turn-in rate

Posted by Flatnose on 09-21-2006 at 1:15 PM

...At one of these sessions, a teacher shared that he had been using the pink slip. He had a HORRIBLE time with students not turning in their work. He used the pink slip. He said that the first week he used an entire ream of paper. The next ream lasted him the rest of the school year! His homework turn in rate improved drastically!

At a similar type of session in New Jersey, a principal said that he asked his teachers to use the pink slip. He said that their homework turn in rate increased from 45 percent to 85 percent!!
