Chapter 7&8 Presentation

Our presentation was on the "Caring About Homework" section of the book.  We had a teacher who didn't care about the students' homework, even though he assigned it.  If the teacher is going to take up students' time with homework, then he should definitely be prepared to take the time to care about it.  Homework that doesn't even get checked is a total waste of students' time - it doesn't matter if they got things right or wrong.  It's very important to care about that sort of thing, or students will become discouraged with the class and the teacher.  Also, if the homework doesn't seem to be worth checking, then can it really be that helpful for the student?
