Dear KOTN: No Incentive

Dear KOTN,
As I go through middle school it seems like more and more kids aren’t turning their work in how do you propose we fix this?
Sincerely,
No Incentive

Dear No Incentive,
I have noticed this problem too so you’re not alone.  I think that teachers should start not accepting late work or at least dock their points on their assignment.  When teachers do this since homework is 30% of your grade over all, the students grades will start to drop and hopefully that will be the push they need to start turning in their work.  If teachers do not feel comfortable to do this they could even give out treats to the people that do their homework to show that if you put in some time then you get rewarded.  If this is not working or teachers can or will not do this, I think that this regular occurrence now falls into the student’s hands.  Some things that you can do to help your fellow classmates is to help them out on their work during advisory then they don’t have a reason to not have it done.  Hopefully these tips helped you and your quest to change this issue.
Sincerely,
KOTN
