Mary : Wow! Jacob . How did you manage to score such high marks? Jacob : Well , Hardwork is the key to success but I will say that homework have helped me a lot for the exams. Mary : Homework ? Are you serious ? Jacob : Yes , my friend. Homework has helped me to revise the lessons taught in class and also find out my difficulties and doubts. As you know practice makes a man perfect and homework has given me that practice. Mary : I never thought homework was so useful . anyways thanks for telling me . now even I will do my homework regularly. This is how homework can benefit us! Should homework be abolished? It is very easy to answer yes' to the above question, especially when one is loaded with homework up to the neck. However I will not say that homework should be abolished. It is useful in many ways, I will say that homework should be given discreetly.
If the volume of homework is manageable then they can be done efficiently and quickly. In this way we do learn from our labour. If the homework is overwhelming then we learn nothing expect that we are simply fed up. I believe then that we should not abolished homework completely. The best thing to do is for the teacher to seriously consider the student's welfare before any homework is given. Homework should be aid the student to learn not do the opposite. Homework look like food, if taken in moderate quantities, it nourishes, but if taken in excessive amount, it might kill person.
School without homework is not an image I can fathom. There are many reasons homework should not be abolished as it is beneficial towards the student, allows the teacher to acknowledge the student's weaknesses; in turn giving them an opportunity to improve and acquire new skills. Also, taking time each night to do homework is a chance for students to catch up on missed class and further reinforces the day's lessons so it is permanently etched in the student's mind where the information is stored and used when called upon.
Several studies have proven that homework, in fact, does improve the stability of the student in school; this strengthens the statement that time spent completing homework is time well spent. Rather than giving students another hour of leisure time, doing homework entitles the student to an hour of enriched education; this can greatly benefit the student, as consistently finishing homework will reap great rewards such as a favourable test score or report card. Why are we posing such a ludicrous question about the possible abolishment of homework if doing homework is what it takes to succeed in school? It is a common emotion to students regarding the distaste of homework, but legions of teachers know better because they recognize the importance of homework in the success of students in school and outside of school.
Not only does home work accomplishment benefit the student, it also benefits the teacher as well. Teachers receive the opportunity to see at what stage the student is by assigning homework. Furthermore, the teacher can identify the weaknesses of the student so they can ameliorate their study habits in hopes of pulling their grades up. On the other hand, if teachers were to abandon the idea of homework altogether, they would have to base the majority of the student's mark on tests alone. However, students fare much better in the homework column than the test column; otherwise, their marks would be lower than they currently are....
