“Grading for accuracy - that’s for tests, not for homework.”

Since when?? Homework is for learning and showing a student has learned, not for showing they spent time on it.

Homework isn’t a participation trophy.

For sure. But homework learning is done through practice. And part of practicing is making mistakes. If you make a mistake on a test question, that should cost you. But if you make a mistake on a homework question, that shouldn’t cost you, as long as the effort is there.

I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this.
