173 Do Your Homework
173 Do Your Homework When Grace hit her preteen years, however, their relationship became rocky. They argued about Grace keeping her room clean and doing schoolwork and regularly battled over her use of the phone, social media and other technology. The prosecution called Giroux, the caseworker, as its only witness. Her assessment that Grace hadnât done her schoolwork was based on a comment her mother made to her teacher, which Charisse testified she said in a moment of frustration and was untrue. Saving everything for one day can be overwhelming, whether or not you know what youâre in for or not. You could have one assignment due, though likely not, or you could have ten. Make sure you check before you save everything for the last day. Our best and brightest are here to help you succeed in the classroom. Judge Mary Ellen Brennan, the presiding judge of the Oakland County Family Court Division, declined through a court administrator to comment on Graceâs case. Because of the confidentiality of juvenile court cases, itâs impossible to determine how unusual Graceâs situation is. There was no voluminous research necessary to prove what I saw time and again when I reached out to someone I barely knew to pitch something. Homework is probably the most complicated pedagogical strategy teachers use because itâs open to variations due to child individual differences and the home context. But the vast majority of educators have got it right. Theyâre not going to satisfy everyone, because kids take homework home to different environments and to parents with different expectations. But, like I said before, three in five parents are satisfied and thereâs one in each direction â" too much homework or too little. Schools across the country werenât prepared for the abrupt turn to remote learning. Graceâs school, Groves High School, in one of the most well-regarded districts in the state, was no different. The other studentâs mother, who declined to comment for this story, told police she wanted to press charges, although the phone had been returned to her son soon after Grace took it. Youâve got a heavy book in your bag and homework to do. Weâve got solutions and step-by-step explanations. When I confessed my sins to Michael Goldspiel, my sonâs beloved assistant principal , he summed up the problem better than I could. âBeing wrong is part of the process of understanding,â he said. âGoing out on a limb, being willing to take a chance, is a critical skill not just for homework, but for life.â He couldnât be more correct. In Graceâs case, too, she was sent to a facility at a time when the governor had encouraged courts to send children home. When I could personalize the conversation by interjecting something of what I had already learned about that person and their business into the conversation, everyone relaxed. And I knew if I could get them to listen to me, the chances of us doing business grew exponentially. I took great pride in it â" at times driving my mother a bit crazy in my quest for perfectionism, relentless as I double and triple checked my work for mistakes.
