What are the pros and cons of having homework?

Answer 1

ADD YOUR OPINION HERE!Do NOT erase other answers -- add yours to the list!

There is a growing number of teachers, parents, and students that advocate the abolishment, or at least a limit to the amount, of homework. The main reason is the belief that students also learn from activities in life other than textbooks and workbooks found in classrooms. A whole day in class and most of the night reading school books that are related to the subject in school leaves a student out of touch, without free time, and unable to get exercise or pursue extracurricular activities. Talents and interest of the student often cannot be nurtured in a classroom setting with teachers focused only on a specific subject.

Moreover, there is a considerable body of research supporting the idea that homework is of little educational value, and that for young children (i.e. under 14) it actually has a negative effect on learning.

Studies comparing countries found that children from those countries giving less homework out performed children from those countries giving piles of homework for their children.

it wastes your time and there is no evidence that homework is benefitial to you and it gives lots of stress

Answer 2

• If you do homework it takes all your time up.
• you will not have any time to be a kid and hang out with friends like A.T.M., M.M., and E.I.Z.
• people do better when they don't study for a test

Some children lack of intrest to learn because of homeworkIt can also take up your social timeAnd it can also be frustrating,and stressful
the cons for homework is that you get lack of sleep, extracurricular activities, less family time and it doesn't improve your knowledge. it also stresses your parents and teachers too. parents have to help their children if stuck and teachers take time out of their own free time to correct the work of all of his or her students.
it takes time away from extracurricular activities, spending time with friends and family, and add pressure to parents, teachers and most of all students. teachers also need to take time off of their free time too to correct and markdown homework.
Cons for Homework;

• is that you get lack of sleep if you stay up later to do it
• extra activities are harder to fit in
• less family time
• it may also stress you and your parents and teachers too
• parents may have to help their children
• teachers take time out of their own free time to mark homework

Pros for Homework;

• you learn extra things
• your teacher knows that you can do the activity on your own
• you become more organised because you plan and remember what homework you have
• if your stuck and parents help you, you spend time with them and they might learn something
• homework might go on to final grade
• children get use to having extra thing to do like when there working

Some believe that everything about homework is bad, that it is a waste of time and that students work enough when they are at school.

Reality proves different. Homework is a great teaching and training tool. It teaches students to take responsibility and to manage their time, among other things. The bad thing about homework is that some students view it as a waste of time or an unnecessary burden. Those who do not do their homework or do it haphazardly rob themselves of an important past of their education.,

Answer 3

Homework is a great burden for students . Its good to give homework but nowadays teachers give homework more heavy than a school bag . Students cannot manage their times . They spend their time on doing homework only .

Some students wake up late night to finish their homework . If it goes on like this then students donot get time for their revision .

At last ,my opinion is that give homework but give less homework so that students can manage their time properly.

*And last but not least...

IT IS BORING!

Honestly, i would keep my homework because i have time to practice and it helps a lot for tests.

Answer 5

Homework is by no means bad for students. Most of the knowledge and skills you'll need in life, you aquire by yourself. It is important that you start early by studying on your own, solving questions and gradually find your way to learn without the help of others.

Answer 6

The disadvantages are that you don't learn simple spelling and grammar and end up looking dumb when you ask a question that looks like this!
