HOMEWORK
a necessary evil
Always will start in class.
Most of the time, have 2 nights to complete it -- prioritizing your work is super important!
Go over homework calendar on whiteboard and that agendas will be used everyday.
Things are written on the day they are due, not assigned - explain value in that.
HW is necessary because it teaches time management, practice of skill, and in maintaining deadlines.
