My kids’ math teachers have not collected and gradeed homework. They go over some in class or post answers on the board. Students are expected to check themselves and ask for help if needed. It is a decent sized school with top standardized scores for our state so the policy seems to be ok in that regard.

Some of my kids’ teachers do spot checks or homework quizzes. These have been honors math classes where homework is assigned each night. They also have frequent quizzes. When son took calc BC, about midway through the year the teacher said they only had to do as much work as they felt they needed to be successful. In the math classes prior to that my kids received a lot of homework, or at least so I was told (frequently!).
