Why Students Don't Do Their Homework--And What You Can Do.
Yes you should punish your child for bad grades. I'm a student myself and I believe this. If your child is not getting at least C's then they are not truly trying their best. If they were trying their best they would be getting at least C's.Researchers at Duke University found that after a maximum of two hours of homework, any learning benefits rapidly start to drop off for high school students. While some children will do everything to avoid doing it, at the other extreme others will become perfectionists who have to be persuaded to go to bed.The punishment comes in when he doesn't do his homework. If you're handing out points, perhaps he doesn't get one if he fails to do his homework or you might even take a point that he's already earned if his work isn't done on time.
Thirdly, doing homework will prepare students for the big end tests. If a child does poorly on an assignment then they will learn what is necessary to do well on the next test without being punished. It also provides students with the opportunity to practice at what it takes to be successful in school. Like they say, practice makes perfect.But if you detain a secondary school student for not doing their homework, or coming to class unprepared (e.g. without a notebook or pen), then this kind of punishment is unlikely to work, because they are mature enough to realise that they have made a mistake and should not do it again.
If a student were to break the rules accidentally, maybe that student should not be punished but should instead be given advice and be informed of what the rules are. For instance, if a student.
