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. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

It is often debated whether

homework

should be allotted to

by their professors for completing it at home. In

this

essay, I shall present arguments both in favour and against

this

issue and

, present my opinion on the same. At the outset, I shall go on to claim that

homework

is a crucial element for the holistic development of a student. On one end of the spectrum, people outside

on the ground that it adds unnecessary pressure on the

, and since they are paid hefty salaries and fees for it, they should not transfer their responsibilities to the parents by giving mandatory

Accordingly

. In essence, there is no real value

On the other hand

, academicians and scholars contend that

homework

is essential for developing the

students

' knowledge and skills beyond the confines of their classroom. Notably, research has shown that the information absorbed at

again after losing touch for a couple of hours, they inevitably recall what was taught and understand the subject's finer nuances.

For instance

that

came to my rescue. Naturally, while completing the tasks during self-study at home, I clarified all my queries and got a better hold over the subject. All in all,

work

designated by

school

teachers undoubtedly plays a profound role in refining the

students

' understanding and knowledge-base of a particular subject. The

child

, not only revisits and revivifies the contents of his/her learnings, but the

- in many cases - end up acquainting himself/herself with some new dimension or perspective about the area.

Therefore

, in view of the foregoing, I firmly support the idea of prescribing

homework

for

students

by their teachers.
