Some people believe that children should not be given homework every day, while others believe that they must get homework every day in order to be successful at school. Discuss both views and give your opinion

#people #children #homework #school
It has always been debated about the importance of
homework
 assigned by the institution to
students
.Some are of the opinion that extra after-
school
 work burdens
students
 and does not give them the opportunity to pursue other extra-curricular activities,while others believe that practising more concepts at
home
 will improve their grades during exams.In my opinion,
time
 at
home
 should be utilised by
children
 to learn additional
skills
 apart from studying in order for them to be successful.
This
 essay will discuss both views and
also
 present my view on the importance of structured
homework
 so as to allow the holistic growth of
children
. On one side,extra work after
school
 burdens
children
.They are so caught up with their studies because of which they will not have enough
time
 to learn other
skills
 needed to progress in life.In a recent survey conducted on
school
children
 of grade 8,it was noted that
students
 were lacking in public speaking
skills
 or were unable to be multi-linguistic. These
skills
 are most needed in the case of pursuing higher education in other countries.Lack of
time
 discourages
students
 from pursuing
skills
 needed to be successful in the latter part of their life.
On the other hand
,
homework
 often makes
children
 repeat the concept at
home
 leading to better understanding.
Furthermore
,
children
 get to study at
home
 without getting distracted and often understands the concept better if made to do the same thing repeatedly,resulting in success during exams.
For example
,a revised child performs better at
school
 compared to a child who does not practice at
home
.For these reasons,
homework
 is often advised by the
school
 to
children
 irrespective of their resistance. To conclude,from
time
 immemorial academy work has been part and parcel of
school
 duty towards
students
.
Although
 it helps in improving the concept taught at
school
,but they do not acquire
skills
 to achieve success in the latter part of life .In my view,structured
homework
 allows flexibility for
students
 to excel at both studies and other
skills
 required for future success.
