I knew this would come up sooner or later. It may depend on the teacher and the quality of hw. Some teachers I know think that if you get F’s on tests, you don’t show any effort to study or pay attention, and just bomb it with ridiculous answers; that shows more carelessness and laziness than hw sometimes, because hw usually does not take forever and it’s a review assignment. Of course, you could be right…</p>

I’d say that it is in English/History and the like, as I have pointed out. In terms of math/science, at least for me and most I know, there isn’t any room for subjectiveness. If you get the answer correct, there is no way that the teacher can mark it wrong. Teachers have also been known to artificially lowering grades, which is disputable when presented with objective grading data and is forced to correct. </p>
<p>My bad for seemingly putting as if hw is worth nothing. That wasn’t my intention.</p>
