The three most important expectations to follow for all assignments:

  • I accept all work that is completed in pencil.
  • I accept papers which show all the work required in reaching the solution.
  • I accept work completed on a separate sheet of paper.

For accelerated math, students should not spend more than 90 minutes per night on their homework.
Their time should be budgeted in the following manner:

  • 10 min - looking for the assignment
  • 10 min - calling a friend for the assignment
  • 21 min - explaining why Mr. Mangham is mean and just does not like children
  • 12 min - getting a snack
  • 9 min - checking what they are missing on TV
  • 5 min - telling parents that Mr. Mangham never explained the assignment
  • 12 min - waiting for mom or dad to do the assignment
