That students are able to practice their own responsibility and perform meaningful Homework seems to also be in focus, but the biggest reason they use flipped classrooms seems to be because it is a more equivalent Homework then traditional Homework, and that students and their guardians also appreciate the flipped classroom model as they become more involved in their children's schoolwork..
