Homework is very useful....i realised that in secondary in school now as it really helps you refresh what u learnt at school so you won't forget what has been taught at school...especially in secondary school when u have 8-9subjects u need to keep refreshing yourself to cope

Homework helps us to refresh on what we have learnt in class. Sometimes, questions from tests do come from our homework, thus, if we are able to understand the contents of our homework, we should be able to do pretty well in our tests. Teachers do not give homework just because they have nothing better to do, they just want us to do better in our studies, that's all.

Do your children enjoy homework? I know that i love doing book work , math , and history. Homework is very nessecary for all schools and having homework teaches you how to be organized and gives you problem solving skills. Also,it lets children who don't work fast work at their own pace. So, in my defense homework is a very useful thing and i have given you many elaborate reasons why homework is nessecary so take my opinion into consideration and still givew homework to all your students or children.

Well I think we should have homework, but not too much! Especially for GT people! I'm in GT and I know. I also think it's annoying that teachers make you do 2 book projects at the same time! Do you know how hard it is to read 2 books and make notes on them in a freaking month! Gosh!

Homework is good for you but too much is bad. Kids should still have free time after doing their homework.

Homework it totaly needed, all children need to revise what they have learnt for the day before they go to bed. Homework keeps the students in touch with the concepts that they have learned at school. They get to practice at home and learn on their own. It is homework that puts the child in charge of his learning and when given the responsibility most kids learn and retain better. The only reason students dislike homework is because of the boring and repetitive nature of it. Interesting activities and exercises should be added to the daily homework to generate some interest.

I'd hate to say it but yes because if i am having trouble on something i would like to practice it. But only if you have trouble for something why review multiplaction in 6th grade?

Homework should reinforce what was learned at school. It should be practice for new skills and concepts.

I say yes.

BUT, I think that its form is the most important.

I believe that all homeworks should be made in order to get the student attracted to the issue and to make him look up something about it.
It should not be just the same as what he/she does at school.

Some projects are the best kind of homework, imho.


Anyway, I really like this quote and live by it:
"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young."
Henry Ford

From that point of view, I cannot agree with those who say that "education ends at school".

In fact, I learn more at home than at school :D

Homework is necessary, because without it, students aren't sure to learn. Homework is schoolwork to take home, because the school day isn't long enough for the teachers to make sure that the students are fully and correctly learned in the days lesson. Therefore, homework is necessary.

 learning should be done in the class room.

and if the teacher isn't capable in teaching the class then its because the students aren't paying enough attention, granted there are some teachers who shouldn't be teaching.

the school day is plenty long, as long as one pays attention they should learn...... i don't do homework or take notes in Stat and prob or any class or even study for tests and stuff, and i still know what I'm doing... and y, because i pay attention to what the teacher is saying.

Homework is very necessary.
Doing homework is a time for revising what we have learned at class. We learn at class, and then practice it (by doing homework). It helps us to remember the lesson for a long time. Morever, Doing good homework can improve our skills very much.
Otherwise, homework can make students avoid some bad things like playing too much games...
So homework is always necessary.

Homework can be regarded as a task your boss give you to test yourself and prove yourself.However,the type of homework is supposed to be changed.If homework is still the kind of pieces of paper, I agree to throw it away as pieces of crap.

Homework is necessary because it is a way for students to use their mind not just at school, but at home. If students are not tested frequently, they will most probably forget what they need to know. School was not made to be fun, and homework is never always fun but if one wants to maintain good grades and a good work ethic, homework is needed in order to accomplish that aspiration

Of course homework is a necessary part of education!! It isn't enjoyable but it enables the child to be prepared for the exams coming up more so than they would be if they didn't have homework. It also enables the teacher's to see who is clever outside their help and wants to do well, and those who are the opposite.
However; it also can be inaccurate because the parents help the child a lot with the work as the teacher isn't there to do so. I also don't agree with the amount of homework they are giving young children. It is all very well giving a-level and gcse students a lot of homework because they have important exams but some children in primary school get ridiculous amounts of homework. This is where i feel it is not necessary because whilst the child needs to work, it is also important for a child to play and socialise too. What sort of community would we have if the children spent all their time working? A sad one.

I believe that Homework is necessary because most people will feel bored at home. Some people do not have all the latest technology to play with and they rely on homework to keep themselves busy. Also, Homework gives students a chance to practice what they have learned in school. This is extremely important because they can do the questions easier on the tests.

Homework is SO necessary! All of the negative comments are angry kids with "too much work!" it'll help you in the end if you do it

1-teaches student self-discipline, responsibility, time management along with more knowledge

2-it prevents you from watching TV, or anything else that makes you stupider

3-gives you time to practice what you learn in school

Because 1 lesson is 1 hour (for me) and we always get homework it is necessary because of course work and just learning really.

Homework shows the people that care about you the most that you are doing something productive while away from their presence, plus it increases your brain power, It's a scientific fact, if you don't believe me, well just do your homework.

Yes because if someone didn't finish it in class it is their responsibility to finish it. If the teacher notices struggles in a subject for a student then i believe its OK for them to assign them a little extra work, only for the practice. Now if the teacher assigns students extra work just to occupy their time, that's different.

I agree that homework is necessary for the students to refresh their memory and can even help them to perform better. However, I believe that an overly excessive amount may instead harm the students. Colleges are requiring them to participate in extracurricular activities that diminish their time for homework. While homework and other important activities are both too demanding, the students are receiving too much pressure that is unhealthy, either physically or emotionally.

Homework is almost always done when a child is already tired from a long day at school. As a result few students are at their best when they sit down in the evening to yet more work. Homework ends up being done in a hurry, by students fighting fatigue, and poor quality work is produced. Worse still, students who have been up late trying to finish off their homework, then come tired into school the next day, and so are less ready to learn. Really, what is the point?

I always hated homework. I enjoyed going to school and doing the lessons, but I felt like school and home should be kept separate. It should be like most jobs - you do your work at the place of employment and come home at the end of the day with your job done until tomorrow. Home is a sanctuary where one should be able to leave troubles behind. Plus, because your home life isn't regimented like a school environment, I always lacked motivation to do homework.

No, It doesn't have to be
We go school 6 hours x 5 days a week isn't that enough hours already?
If we always have homework we will never have time for our social lives
i know if you wanna become somebody you have to do your homework.
But it's a waste of paper and time. !

 Six hours? Wherever you go, I'm moving there. I have 7.8 hours of school a day, not including lunch. I'm VP of an after-school club, on commitee, take piano, dance, and am in the highest ranking choir in scool. By the time I get home I'm ready to veg out, so I don't end up doing a quality job on my homevork. I'm just not motivated to do any of the cra.p worksheets I get, but love free-writing assignments. How homework is presented just needs to change, pronto!

I believe homework is a waste of children's time after they have been at school all day and then have to come home and waste time doing homework and could be outside in the fresh air.
Though it would be okay if the children did not finish work at school and had to take it home to do!

I tested this my sophmore year. I was in a... Moderately high math class, above the basic majority. Test in the class were worth 80% of the grade and this got me thinking, what if? That whole year I did not open my textbook once. I went on notes, and basic mathmatical knowledge. Not that homework is the root of ALL evil, it helps forcibly pound the material into your memory, but it is not a necessity.

When the bell rings at a school means that the students are know being dismissed meaning they are done with school for the day so why do teachers give homework imagine working at McDonald's and they gave homework it will be something like cut 300 tomatoes

No. Assignments should not be mandatory. Children have a full day of work, an 8 hour day. Then they have to come home and spend time doing homework? At my high school a 1 hour class was supposed to get 45 mins of homework a night. With 2 hour sports after school, homework would be the only thing we do at night. The 45 minute homework rule was not taken seriously. People who did not do any homework passed classes. Homework is a joke. Kids who are interested in the subject study because it's cool, not because they are mandated.

I think homework is necessary, but it doesn't have to be done in school. If you would install year-round schooling, the curriculum wouldn't be so tight, and lessons can be taught slowly, and "homework" can be done in class, so they can enjoy their family and childhood at home.

I think that homework should be as Extra credit because some kids don't have enough room in there after school schedules so they end up staying up really late and by the time they finish their homework and they want to go to bed they have to take a shower and get ready for school then they get written up for sleeping in class

 giving too much freedom too early is definitely a bad thing that's what college is for and if you don't believe me look back on your life when you were 8 could u stay home by yourself (i hope not) when u were 10 could you drive a car (i think not) and homework should stay mandatory although i hate it u cant help but realize it helps and if your that closed minded about the issue then you'll never understand

Children have 8 hours and 7 minutes of school they do not need homework. The homework they give is a review of the work they did at school. That can be done in class. I am sure with nearl 9 hours of school you should have time to do that.

I don't believe in homework, as the children go to school to learn and the teachers get paid to teach,when the children come home from school they should be able to do some kind of sport, or to be able rest as they have been at school for at least 7 hours a day and there brain should be able to wind down. So they are refreshed for the next day, if the teachers taught properly they would not need to do homework,

I don't think its necessary... Students have other things that work on homework when they get back home... Students should only have more time in class to work on this stuff, to get nothing to do when they get back home, because the only thing they want is to relax after a school day ;)

There is no reason for homework!!!!!!I am a sixth grader and get tons of homework every day!!! We students spend SIX HOURS A DAY FOR FIVE DAYS A WEEK! Its enough that we have to spend more than half the week doing school work and spending six hours at school. Then we have to go home and spend at least an hour at home for most of us doing homework! I don't have time to do anything anymore. Only on the weekends! Even then, sometimes i have projects to do. For instance, this month i had to do a black history project. For every one of my six periods except P.E! I spent so much time doing that! I barely have time to think! If i ever become president one day, (which i know most likely will not happen) i am gonna try and band homework!
