Homework—To Give or Not to Give.

Homework gives students another chance to review class material. In many cases, students are not paying enough attention during class to learn everything. However, when they receive homework, they have to reread everything they wrote down (and even find additional information about some topics) to complete the assignments.

Homework, however tedious it might be, teaches responsibility and accountability. For some classes, homework is an essential part of learning the subject matter. Homework nips procrastination in the bud. One reason teachers give homework and attach a big part of your grade to it is to motivate you to keep up. If you fall behind, you could fail.

Marking and giving useful feedback on homework can take up a large proportion of a teacher’s time, often after school hours. Students themselves complain that the homework they are given is boring or pointless, referring to homework tasks that consist of studying for tests, doing workbook exercises, finishing incomplete classwork, memorising lists of vocabulary and writing compositions.

Yes, schools should give homework. Schools should be allowed to give homework. Homework is a vital tool to teach students time management skills, which is very important to have when you are in a professional work place.

Organizations such as the National Parent Teacher Association support giving students about 10 minutes of homework each night, per grade level starting in first grade. So a middle school student.

Homework teaches students to work independently and develop self-discipline. Homework encourages students to take initiative and responsibility for completing a task. Homework allows parents to have an active role in their child's education and helps them to evaluate their child's progress.

Use a homework timer. A timer can help keep homework on track and give your child a better sense of time. There are many types of timers to choose from. For instance, if your child is distracted by sounds, a ticking kitchen timer may not be the ideal choice. Instead, try an hourglass timer or one that vibrates.

Homework can affect students’ health, social life and grades. The hours logged in class, and the hours logged on schoolwork can lead to students feeling overwhelmed and unmotivated. Navigating the line between developing learning skills and feeling frustrated can be tricky. Homework is an important part of being successful inside and outside.

I think that students are receiving too much homework. It can be a useful tool, but we need quality, rather than quantity. Students also need to make some choices of their own, because if they learn about what they love, they will love to learn.

It should give students a great opportunity to review their class materials and practice the subjects that they learn in the classroom to strengthen their knowledge. There are other effective ways to achieve this goal, like socializing, reading, and playing special educational games, but introducing new topics through homework is counterproductive.

Homework is an important part of engaging students outside of the classroom. It carries educational benefits for all age groups, including time management and organization. Homework also provides students with the ability to think beyond what is taught in class.
