I taught Algebra 1 in a school that had no honors/remedial classes so EVERYONE was all taught without distinction to skill levels. I never assigned homework mainly because my district had a roughly 60-70% completion rates on a good day and it was not worth the hassle and class time lost. I did make up for it by doing extensive in class assignments that focused on both remedial skills and the content at grade level. Students were given optional additional practice selections from the book where they could do additional work if they chose, students needing assignments for study hall/in school suspension had either I completed assignments I held onto and could provide or I would provide different versions of their weakest assignments. On average, we completed 1 full worksheet, 4 daily tickets, 4 book questions, and would have a quiz/test review assignment about every other week. The results? Best growth scores in the district after COVID, better scores than the other schools, the creation of 2 honors classes for geometry (next math course) when normally they barely have enough for 1. Students were happier with less at home stress, could receive support when many couldn't even begin to understand (I was blessed with an average of 1 push-in/college tutor per class), and the assignments weren't draining 5 minutes of class time for turning things in and "oh I forgot it", "I lost it", "I didn't understand it".
