Some parents think that helping their children with homework is good. Others think children should do their homework on their own. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Homework

is a necessary evil. I don’t know many children who actually enjoy doing their

homework

.

Nonetheless

, it is beneficial to their progress and

that is

the reason teachers give

homework

.

However

, sometimes, children are given too much

homework

and in

such

situations it may be necessary for the parents to help them. Children should do their

homework

on their own. Only

then

will they benefit. If parents do the

homework

the children are not getting the intended benefits.

However

, there are at least a few situations where

this

may be necessary. Young children, especially those attending KG or primary school, will need their parents’ assistance to complete their

homework

and other activities. Older children may

also

need their parents’ help from

time

to

time

. In a country like India, children, especially those going to private schools, are burdened with too much

homework

. After completing their work, they get hardly any

time

to study. In

such

situations, they need the help of their parents. Just because students are doing their

homework

, it doesn’t mean that they are actually paying attention to what they are doing. A lot of them simply copy answers from their notebook.

As a result

, they aren’t gaining anything from

this

exercise. They need to learn the answers to score higher grades in the examination. If they spend too much

time

on their

homework

, their score will suffer. To conclude, students are supposed to do their

homework

on their own.

However

,

this

is not always possible because of

time

constraints. In

such

situations, parents should lend a helping hand.
