Is it fair for teachers to assign different homework for students

Its just like partial to the students working slowly.This would not be expected by every students as this is make problems between the students itself by teasing each one for the work given to them.Its best for a teacher to give same homework to every student..

no its unfair for any teacher to do that. students should be bought up with no difference or it might effect them mentally.

nope its not fair...they must have all the same load i guess...i mean same assignment and same quantity

I dont agree that childrens who work slowly should be given less homework. Teachers job should be to make each student equal. I dont mind having them giving different homeworks but is should be helpful to students.

that is fair, cuz it evens out the load. all the children will be doing homework for the same amount of time and putting in the same amount of effort.

Yes it is fair. Some students catch on and are able to handle more challenging work than others. I think you all need to remember alot of these students who are getting an alternative assignment or less have a learning disability. Is it fair to those students who are not understanding the work to be giving work they don't understand? It is a sure way of increasing our high school dropout rate.And is it fair to hold those students who are understanding the work and are ready to move on to more challenging work back because others aren't understanding the work yet? No I don't think it is. Every child has his or her own way of learning. It is important that we cater to this to ensure that every child is learning. Otherwise we will have a society full of uneducated adults.
