Preparing for Adult Life”: The teacher explained why they give bad grades for an incomplete task, and no points for a completed one

Why do some teachers not grade homework, ignore its existence, yet give low grades for not completing it? Foreign literature teacher Alina Mets addressed this issue in a TikTok video.

According to her, teachers do not always grade homework, but the very idea of ​​not grading homework but punishing for not completing it can prepare children for adulthood. The teacher explained that adults also do not receive rewards for completed duties at work, but are responsible for not fulfilling their obligations.

At the same time, commentators believe that adults receive a salary for their work, while students often lack adequate motivation to complete homework. Many people noted that students spend a lot of time studying and do not receive material incentives for this, while their parents work without sending home and receive monetary rewards.

Several comments express deep concern that this approach may lead to indifference among students, who may not understand why they are not being encouraged for their efforts, which could cause them to lose interest in learning.

One teacher suggested an alternative approach to assessing homework: “I try not to set it, but if it does happen, then the task is generalized in nature. If students do not complete it, I deduct one point from their test; those who do receive an additional point. This works and stimulates students to study.”
