Homework: Good or Bad?

Do you remember when you were a kid? Do you remember the endless hours of sweating in front of a tear soaked textbook? And did it actually help you academically?

Homework is the one thing a child dreads. But is it actually helping them academically? The three elements to a successful, hard working student that doesn’t get distracted are:

  1. Exercise
  2. Food / Water
  3. Sleep

I remember when I was naught but a boy, I would want to go swimming in the creek, or walk my restless dog, but the malevolence of homework would thwart the departure of my vicinity.

Children do need a superior routine, for illustration, my offspring need to awaken at 6.30 am and carry out their habitual practice; otherwise we arrive at school too early or too late. Nevertheless, by my outlook school is enough of a routine. Bells, classes, detentions, periods, it is all a huge repetitive schedule. Children should not have to be forced to bring their schedule home. For the two hours of daylight they have to themselves, they should be out exercising.

  1. Exercise releases endorphins, making a content learner, who sleeps without difficulty and isn’t fidgety and uncomfortable in class
  2. Grub and water endow with energy. A youngster who is in agony from dehydration or under nourishment will scarcely have a hope in an examination. If a kid is so busy studying prior to school in the crack of dawn, he or she will repeatedly fail to remember mealtime. An additional exemplar of this is where a young person completes their fragmentary assignments all lunch break and forgets about lunch. ALL due to homework.
  3. Slumber. This one kind of goes devoid of aphorism. If a child falls sound asleep during an assessment, it is dubious that the apprentice will be proficient enough to conclude the test sleeping! All due to homework, Patricia would linger all night in her room, finishing homework, and just cant…keep…her…eyes…ope…snore!!

Homework is causing more trouble than it solves, and is exactly why it should be banned. What’s your opinion? Thanks.

    true. all the hwk i get is just consolidating what i already know when i could be learning something useful. for example, you want to become the world’s greatest banjo player but your algebra homework(which banjo players generally do not need)takes up all your practise time so you do not pass your banjo exam and do not become the worlds greatest banjo player all because of simultanious equations.
