Some people believe that school children should not be given homework by their teachers, whereas others argue that homework plays an important role in the education of children. Discuss both of these views and give your own opinion.

There is a school of thought thinking that teachers should not give

homework

for children, while other people hold a view that the setting of

homework

is an essential part of education. I personally would side with the

second

view that children should be given

homework

. On the one hand, there are numerous reasons why it is believed that teachers should not give assignments for learners. The

first

reason is that students are always under an enormous amount of study pressure from school and still have to spend most of their time at home to finish

homework

for the

next

day. It means that the students will spend less quality time to develop a relationship with their family, their friends as well as for outdoor activities. The

second

reason is that subjects at school these days are more about theory, and learners are less likely to get exposed to practical experiences. In Vietnam,

for example

, those who study chemistry or physics have to deal with a lot of theoretical

homework

rather than doing real experiments.

On the other hand

, those who firmly believe in the importance of assignments give out several benefits of it.

Firstly

, doing assignments at home could significantly help learners remember the formula more easily especially in mathematics or chemistry.

Therefore

, practicing similar tasks at home is the optimal option for children.

Secondly

,

Homework

in tertiary education is not only about some simple exercises, but it could

also

be a group assignment or research. By doing

this

, it helps students to reach their full potential in learning by encouraging independent learning and problem-solving.

In addition

, it is

also

a useful method to aid students to develop an independent study habit. In conclusion,

although

a large number of people think that

homework

is truly an unnecessary burden on children, I still hold a belief that it is an indispensable aspect of education.
