What do surprise homework checks teach? And why should marks be assigned for same?
Assuming some students need to do extra preparation, practise, study for exams, whatever, they will already have to face the consequences of bad achievement on exams if they don't do so. So why dock them twice?
I am not saying all homework or extra work is bad, but it can also be busy work and I see no purpose in that whatsoever. Let the family or student decide on busy work in their free time.
