This was especially pronounced in secondary-age students. It teaches students about time management, encourages responsibility, and instils the ability to learn independently. Despite the positive effect that homework can have in some students, opponents argue that children and young people need time to relax and decompress after working hard all day at school. Homework researcher Professor John Hattie found that homework in primary schools makes no difference to learner achievement.
Other activities at home can have just as much educational benefit, such as reading, or baking, or simply playing. A survey of over 4, students from 10 high-performing schools found that large amounts of homework contributed to academic stress, sleep deprivation and a lack of balance with socialising or practising hobbies. As a result, many families have pushed back. A few years ago a homework strike in Spain made headlines around the world.
They considered that the pressures of homework were to blame. Homework reform is certainly overdue. For homework to have real value, it needs to be clearly related to what students are learning in class. The US rule of thumb is 10 minutes per grade. And for secondary age students, 90 minutes of homework a day is the ideal amount for improving academic performance. So what is your approach to homework?
How do you choose tasks to assign to your students? Research by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development OECD proved that in 4 hours of home-taken assignments weekly, the extra time invested in education has a negligible effect on productivity. Homework should be banned if it does not have anything to with the topic or studied subject.
It is not ethical to assign tasks that students did not cover in class and expect to get excellent papers. The strictest parents share they do not see their children. Work and education separate these generations. After reducing the amount of after-class tasks, family members will obtain more time to spend together and more support. Read how to finish homework faster. It will save plenty of time and make it possible to dedicate time more to whom you love.
To prove this article tries to evaluate things objectively, we will list the reasons why homework should not be banned below. To specify, we do not insist on excluding homework at all. We try to figure out whether kids would be better off alone with the minimum of tasks or overwhelming schedules like now.
Without homework to do, a student spends up to 8 hours in front of the screen per day. The recommended average time is no more than 3 hours on the average: it makes the young people lazy and harms the eyesight. Better study and life habits are the reasons to do homework. Time management is something every professional need.
Gamapo, the people saying pro say it because it is common sense. When you spend all day in school it is overwhelming to get crap out of your back pack to do more. I don't want to source anything, but rather state my experience with homework. Homework teaches you: -To look at the back of the text book for the answers -That it is more important than your family and friends -to hate school -to solve problems only from a single perspective A lot of the tactics used for teaching in school are bad in general.
Not just the subjects, but the process of things overall. School was boring enough that you sat all day in a classroom. It isn't better that you have to take it home with you. So for the average person that is about 2 to 3 hours of free time. Homework takes a big chunk out of that. I can specifically remember times where I knew all the answers in a classroom, but the homework took forever anyway. Take math for example. I'd learn it in the class and already know how to do it.
Then we'd get sent home to do 1 and a half chapters of math. The next day usually math homework was graded on whether you did it or not. How you performed didn't matter. This in itself is stupid, because then students just write down random crap to make it look like they worked. Just one example of a horrible teaching method in school. History class is another example. When studying for a test teachers give you a sheet where you have to look up in the book to fill in the blanks How is that useful?
What kids end up doing is looking through the book to find the keyword and copy it down. Just filler garbage. They aren't even paying attention to what they are writing down. They won't study it until later. You waste so much time looking for the answers when the obvious solution is to give the sheet with the answers on it and say study these. There is no reason to do the "fill in the blank" thing when studying for a test.
It is obvious this does nothing, but we still do it. People are naturally this way though. We see a problem and acknowledge it, but rarely is anything ever done about it. Nutrition is pretty important, but the emphasis that was taught in that class was pretty low.
Who cares how many jewels are in a calorie. I just want to know what positive and negative sides certain foods with vitamin A do for you. School is so controlling of your life that you barely have time and learn to be told what to do. Once you are on your own you are left thinking "now what? You expect someone or something to guide you into what to do next, but you are lost. The world doesn't look out for you, because everyone else is too busy looking out for themselves.
One last note. I'm not going to lie people. A lot of that education stuff is just filled with filler stuff just to be there. It really is. Sorry, this was a lot longer than I intended it to be. Rant over. TheGodson Here's the thing, i agree whole heartedly with you statements on the flaw in the grading system, and even on some of the reasons for homework.
However, there is both good and bad homework. Good homework does not necessarily need to be hard, or take time. What i don't understand is the wish to BAN homework. We need work that 1 is useful. Something that students see the use for, so as they understand WHY they do it. Students, such as myself need to learn how to figure things out on their own. I don't think anyone wants to show that they are so daft as to say that you can remember everything taught in class in a day!
If you can, congrats, your a superhuman. Nobody has that memory power! The only real grounds for this argument is found in the grading system, where i would say, change that!
Do not ban homework! Honestly, even parents are agreeing with this. I do not know why you are calling us "lazy", since we are working our brains out for the hours at school, we TRY to do homework, in my family and many others, homework just causes arguments, such as when parents learned a different method for something and the child learns another.
So, you are just a plain supporter of homework, which basically stresses the child, and sometimes tears the family apart. They should try to use all the time they have, and teach the material. School is supposed to be used for learning, and home is supposed to be used for family time, and self-time. Free time? I dont have any. And, yes, i have and love my life!
As for the rest of your statement, did you even read mine? I dont enjoy it, i hate it! Im homeschooled, and if you remove homework, i will be on top of the world! Think about the cause, an effect. What do they do in the free time they already have? Over break? Heres where the picture gets ugly. That will get you though life. AAL says T I too think homework should be banned, currently i'am in grade 9 and i get a whole load of homework. Many people are going to one side and to bann homework.
I acctually am one of the top people in my class and i don't like homework. It should be banned! We need homework! If we didn't have it, no-one would have any problem solving skills! You need the work, mby just, not so much. PinkSheep says T My mother says 'do you want to the the football with your dad' and have to reply 'sorry,I'm doing homework'.
Then she gets this wild and murderous look in her eyes. She takes a deep breath and helps me. You traitors! I have spent 3 hours on my hmwk. Down with homework! BTW, all of you little traitors are Donald Trump with different emails that he used to use to email his x's.
Someone else 4 prez plz!!! Parakeets says T MalcolmW says T No, homework should not be banned. As a father, I want my child to do homeworks as they develop and improve knowledge in various fields. Such services do tasks for them, however, because of this, there may be gaps in knowledges. Get rid of this trashy,useless,boring,stupid,stressful,time-wasting homework aka a piece of crud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lolypopily says T Demhew says T You really think I wanna have reminisce of that when I get home? Jeez give me time to rest and think you don't need to be in my head constantly "we strive to make an impact on your life" please spare my brain the horror.
I get A's in class with the revision I do , I don't need your petty work slips. I understand completely how it feels to be a student because I am one right now.
I am in middle school and I get tons of projects and homework problems every day. I am grateful, however, because it helped me to develop my time managing skills which will be useful in the real world. Pretty sure homework doesn't teach anything. People will either copy a friend or just rush through it. They don't give it any thought. MasterPikachu says T My point is simple enough: No more homework, Not in elementary school, Not in middle school and not in high school. What is the point of doing assignments that have to be done at home and handed in to a flustered teacher who hands them back days later when the material is long forgotten?
