Many people today think that homework is still an important part of school while others think that it is becoming outdated. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It is commonly considered by many that the schools should offer a regular
homework
to the students, so that can prepare well ahead for the exams. Whereas others tend to oppose this
idea and believe that homework
impacts the mental and physical growth of the child. In my opinion, homework
is beneficial for children, as long as it is below the limits.
Those who opine that homework
is advantageous for the children can easily point out its practical value. That is
to say, kids can remember the concepts learned in the school
only if they are performing some sort of practical exercises, once they returned home, otherwise
they will forget everything. As a result
, it will be difficult for them to outperform in their exams because there is a huge syllabus that need to be learnt one day before the exam, which sometimes can lead to the stress. For instance
, according to the recent research of the New York Times, 90% of kids are suffering from the depression, due to inability to perform well in the exams. On Further
Investigation, it was found that, such
kids are stressed because they have never practised the things taught in the school
before.
On the other hand
, there are several reasons which make people feel that homework
is a burden for the students. Firstly
, homework
exercises can lead to busy and tiring schedule, which can restrict the development of the brain. In other words
, the children, who spend around 8 hours in the school
, are already tired and doing the homework
after coming back, can reduce their capability to concentrate on education, followed by weakness of the brain cells. Secondly
, for the physical growth of the child, playing is equally important as education. However
, if children spend their whole time on studies, they will have no time for physical activities. Thus
, teachers should provide homework
, which is feasible and does not harm the students in any way.
To conclude, although
many people believe that the homework
reduces student’s mental and physical growth and therefore
it should be eliminated from the school
curriculum. However
, I believe it is beneficial if its within the limits.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
