Umm, I'm sorry to say this, but that's pretty sad. What's kewl about my school is that you don't lose points for turning the homework in with incorrect answers; you just have to do it if you got more than 20% of the problems wrong. So as long as you do your homework well, if not perfectly, then all that can adversely affect your grade is tests.

woah so they actually calculate if your homework is less than 20% right?

At my school half the teachers don't check it, and the other half just grade on completeness.

Oh and last exam before summer tomorrow! Wish me luck!

Here's the deal:

Don't skip math homework.

Unlike English or history, where you can just skip the homework and read the book the day before the test, math is like a sport: it requires skill and practice, and, unfortunately, time. If you don't practice, no matter how hard you study, you will do poorly.

Unfortunately (as I found out), the inverse is not true, either. Doing your homework doesn't necessarily mean you will do well...

Well, since I go to a private school, we only have 100 people, and out of those 100 people, only about 30 were in algebra last year. So there's really not that much to check. And BTW, the calculate if you got more than 20% wrong, not if you got less than 20% right.
