In many schools, homework is ungraded and uninspected. In others, homework is graded on completion. Ideally, homework is turned in and errors are noted, but that ideal is often too time-consuming for many teachers.

When I was in high school, our homework was ungraded and uncollected (in a private school, BTW). We were, however, expected to bring up questions about it before the daily (yes, daily) one-question quiz that was based on that homework (which took a few minutes and was graded by the swap-and-grade-each-other method).

As for how kids get the message that “getting the right answers” is important, I think most high school kids know that.

Your son should consider forming a study group.
