Some students could pick everything up they needed to from the lecture with no need to do those problems. Others needed to spend hours working on it. But that's a decision for the student to make. In this case, the parents are helping their kids make that decision too.

That might be your definition, but not the one used in the contract that was agreed upon by both parties:
"
For
the
purposes
of
this
document
homework
is
defi ned
as
any
work
to
be
done
at
home
or
outside
of
t he
school
setting."
The entire purpose of weekly assignments in math and physics was to ensure students were doing problems and keeping up so they could do well on the tests. These were graded, and I bet they still are. If they weren't graded, many students wouldn't do them and would be worse off in the end.
