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.

The problem of whether or not

students

should be given a

home

task by their teachers has sparked a heated debate recently.

While

the majority of society, particularly parents consider

homework

as the best way to improve comprehension and nourish interest, and thirst for knowledge, I contend that mandatory

homework

would bring harm to learners’ critical thinking and self-sufficiency because of setting up boundaries for them. It is certain that the practice of compulsory

homework

has been being used for the past 4 centuries since the times when

students

were taught with an authoritarian method of tuition. Parents across the globe have always assisted with assignments given to accomplish at

home

. On the one hand,

this

technique of education has its evident beneficial aspects,

such

as the progression of time-management skills and responsibility. Disciples, who implement their practice on time, have more spare hours, which are later spent on other advantageous deeds. Fulfilling their duties, learners

also

instil in themselves the quality of responsibility.

Moreover

, another cogent reason is obviously reinforcing the knowledge that was introduced in the lesson.

For instance

, data that was confirmed by the research of scholars at Colombia University that

students

who perform their

home

tasks are 27 per cent more responsible than those who do not. Regardless of the positive impact of obligatory schoolwork, it can be said that it has several negative consequences, namely, the dearth of self-dependence and the underdevelopment of critical thinking. The school curriculum is believed to have been changing exponentially for the past 5 decades.

Subsequently

, teaching methods have come a long way from an authority, when teachers provide their learners with all the data, to a delegator, when

students

accomplish self-studying and improve their ability to think and estimate critically. The delegator technique doesn’t contain compulsory

homework

, which gives

students

an opportunity to study by themselves. To give evidence, there has been an investigation performed by scientists at Harvard University that demonstrated that delegators educate their

students

much more efficiently than authorities do.

Furthermore

, today

students

are being overloaded with

homework

and because of it lose inspiration and alacrity to study.

To conclude

, the topic of the

home

task at schools and whether it’s productive to make them mandatory or not has become world-widely discussed. There is a common view that suggests compulsory

homework

is helpful for

students

and insists on it being indispensable,

although

it is proven that owing to it adolescents are being overburdened and

also

end up with the absence of critical thinking. To my mind, the arguments mentioned above represent the fact that it would be more efficient if

home

assignments weren’t obligatory.
