You did not make a good point at all- "I don't like it." Nobody likes going to work, but they have to. Nobody likes paying taxes, but they have to. See where I'm going?

However, I do have to agree homework shouldn't be required. I believe students with passing grades and who are mature enough should have the right to choose homework or not. Several students would, in order to practice the material and confirm an understanding, while others wouldn't. It is their own decision though, and it probably will affect their outcome when they're finished with school.

I'm thee laziest person when it comes to homework but I know it's a way of improving my education. I would forget the things teachers explained the day after if I didn't have homework.
And 'Flash' has a very intellectual point on this.
He seems to know much more than me, a measly high school studen!t!

I hate homework full stop

but ask yourself, where would u be if u hadn't worked, would u have had the motivation to do the extra work that u couldn't do in class u need a structured regime to reinforce the learning taken place earlier that day

Homework keeps your mind on the things that children should be thinking about. Like their grades, and maintaining some kind of responsibility. If your mind is allowed to wonder outside of school, and you never get reminders, of your work in school, then going to school would be a waste of resources, and material. Because the kids would only sit through school, forget what they have learned, and get into things they shouldn't. Which will result in a very dumb generation of kids.

I'm for homework. Do your homework kid!

 What about AP kids like myself that focus on their grades enough already? Why pressure us more? The less advanced your classes, the more homework should be given. That I can agree on. That is the only common ground I have here. If you are working your butt off in a college level course(s) as a sophomore in high school, then homework is the LAST thing you need. Too much stress like that and all of you the work you do is for nothing, because you are actually physically and mentally injuring yourself if you are placed under too much stress.

From our early steps of education we learn about some rules and regulation. Besides the formal course of education these rules are also imposed upon us. Day by day we become habituate with these rules. In the primary classes teachers give some home work for the students. These home works provide recapitulation of the classes to the students, and it would also help them to memorize the whole lesson, as well as help to score good marks in exams. It would be a good habit for the students. If the students practice it well it would also be beneficial for their higher education when they used to attain long lectures. If home works are not be given in the primary schools it would be a great loss for the students. It would not able to habituate them with a good practice, may they face problem in higher education.

There is a reason homework is assigned and that is to enrich your education in learning the best way you know how. In a classroom, it is hard to concentrate. If you have homework, you will be able to go home or to the library and get in the "zone" to learn. Teachers can only take you so far, you need the extra work to really grasp and hang on to the knowledge. I personally think that teachers should assign more homework and actually make it harder for the lesson to really stick.

No, it exercises the brain and you do not forget what you learned at home.

Homework is not about liking or not liking it is a need! Students need to stay in touch with the learned lessons and homework is a way for them to practice concepts and understand them on their own. Teachers should enquire why students are always complaining about homework and mostly the main issue is repetitive or boring nature of work given as homework. Apart from the usual written and oral work interesting exercises and activities should also be a part of the homework so as to generate some interest.

Homework is useful. Yes, sometimes we may not feel like doing it, but it does help us to learn more and achieve better grades.

Since there isn't enough time to get all the work done during a lesson, it is a good idea to take the work home and complete it there, so that you are ready for the next lesson. Teachers often like students to take work home because they run out of time in the lesson and if the students complete a piece of work at home then the teacher can move onto the next part of the module.

Homework helps us to keep our brains on the subject that we are learning, rather than go to class, forget what we've learnt and then have to go over it all again the next lesson. It also helps us to try and tackle tasks alone, and we may not be as distracted at home as we are in the classroom.

I know this may be hard for you to believe bobbilly, but a lot of students just waste their time faffing about on websites instead of doing anything productive. So it's a good thing in my view that they get homework from their teachers to keep them occupied.

If homework is interesting and helps to learn, then we need. But if homework is a way that teachers want to punish students, then big NO.

Ok, if we have learned nothing from history, it is that Education is necessary for anything to get done in this world. And all homework is a review for student to do out of class to keep the knowledge learned in class in their minds. Without reviews such as homework one could easily forget or misunderstand the content learned in class and make the whole learning process pointless.

I wrote this topic just wondering on peoples opinions as a student my self. I also think homework is helpful to review and study things away from school.

I speak as a student when I say that homework is not entirely necessary all the time, but it does help (as much as I hate to admit it). It's just like training for a sport or playing an instrument. Perfect practice makes perfect performance. Though it is kind of obnoxious when teachers assign pointless little projects that don't really teach us anything.

Be for real. All students need to have homework. Not only does it teach responsibility, it also reinforces the concepts you are studying and learning in class. Do you think that you are better than everyone else and that you do not need to study? There is a reason a teacher issues homework assignments. You should be happy that you have the opportunity to learn the materials and do homework. Many kids around the world do not have that option and they remain behind their peers. You may not like homework, but it is very essential to your success in school and to your future. You can't see it now, but one day you will understand.
