Homework is a very important part of grades in the UGA.  Please make sure you check planners every day.  It will let you know when we are going to have a test, homework, or any important event.  Failure to turn in homework the day it is due will result in a zero.  Last week we heard a lot of excuses as to why the students did not turn in homework.  They ranged from:  I forgot my book, I didn't know we had homework, I had football practice, I had to take a bath, it was too late when I came home, I had to wait for mom to cook supper,  I left it on the table,  or it's in my mom's car. It is the students responsibility to complete their assignments. Bottom line- DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!
