can a teacher give a homeless person homework?

At the school where I teach, students who are homeless and live in the district are entitled to attend school, and yes they do receive homework like other students do. It is sad to see these students come in, often tired, underfed and with their clothes not recently washed. Some families live in cars or vans. It would be nice if we could use a fraction of the money we spend on foreign entanglements to help these people.

Chances are you can, but what would the recipient benefit from it? Not learning it,unless one does the work by oneself. Helping is one thing, but don't have someone else do it for you.

Maybe they can help with getting food stamps or some other assistance. \nAlso, there's some charities that might help, Catholic Charities, United Way, and The Red Cross. In my town, the local Baptist Association helps people out with money or clothes. If I think of more I'll add them later.

I think what you are basically talking about is already allowed, I mean I actually know someone who has helped a homeless person find a job and clean up and get his own small trailor home, while helping him save some money in a shared bank account, maintained by the helper. But yes, in that sense, I believe it should be allowed if it isn't already.

your local public school should provide tutoring or direct you to tutors for your son. by law, public schools are required to provide an adequate education for every child. now, depending on the quality of that school, you may have an easier or harder time dealing with them on this issue (i know that from what i've heard, parents of children with learning disabilities often have to fight rather hard to get the services due them). there are often agencies that offer tutoring to low-income students--contact youth social services, probably through the county government.\n\ntry this site for some help: http://www.ncld.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=827

Sure, why not. Giving a homeless person a job takes some reliability off the state/federal government! Hire two!

You can give it another try.  In some cases, the teacher is the problem.  Maybe with any luck the new teacher will help her out, instead of working against her

DEPENDS ON HOW DEICATED BOTH THE TEACHER AND STUDENT ARE

Take your parent, go find a homeless person (or more than one) and ask them what they need that you can give them.  Another idea is to find the head of places that already help the homeless, and ask them either (1) what you can do to help the homeless or (2) what you can do to help the people who are already helping the homeless.  I suggest you talk to these people, you could probably do so via email or on the phone, get some ideas, and chose one of those!  \n\nOther ideas: If you are in a cold area collect coats, shoes, blankets, heavy clothes to distribute.  They need those at this time very badly.\n\nCollect money to donate to a shelter.  Have a bake sale and give anything not sold to the homeless.  Use some other fundraiser for this purpose. \n\nGood luck!

We give homework to reinforce the lesson or concept that we were trying to teach during the day.  Some students can only learn when they sit down at home all alone and try to work through a problem rather than having someone talking at him/her.  Homework forces students to struggle through concepts that teachers are trying to instill in them.

When the homework isn't done by the person assigned the work that person isn't learning anything. Come test time the teacher will know who did their homework and reading assignments and those that took short cuts like Yahoo Answers.\n\nI personally don't do someone's homework. If they have a question about a reading like trying to understand a poem or what a sentence means in the context of the assigned readng I will gladly help out. But if its obvious the person is wanting to have the essay written for them or the questions at the back of the reading answered, I don't bother.

Sounds to me like somebody wants to have someone else do their homework for them.  Hmmmmmmmm...

What behavioral interventions and work prompts are her teachers doing with her at school? Ask if you can sit in and observe so you can do the same thing for academic work at home.\n\nShe will calm down greatly when she has similar expectations and prompts across environments. Your behavior responses are probably different from her teachers, and this confuses her because homework is schoolwork is something that should happen just-that-way-that-it-always-happens.....

Your teacher/sponsor should have given them to you. If  he/she hasn't, then ask him/her for them. They came with the packet he/she recieved.
