Many children these days do not do school homework. What are the causes? What are the solutions?

In some countries, the number of

students

who do not do their

homework

regularly has increased.

This

is mainly because of tiredness and lack of discipline. There are a number of solutions that can be implemented to deal with the issue of not doing

homework

.

Firstly

, the main reason why

students

do not do

homework

is that they feel tired.

In other words

,

students

these days have other

activities

to do after school, and because of

this

, they do not have time to do their

homework

at home.

For example

, in China, most

students

have to do extracurricular

activities

,

such

as sports, after they finish their lessons, and when they reach home, they will be exhausted.

As a result

, they are not interested in doing their work.

Secondly

, some

students

lack discipline.

This

is because they do not take

homework

seriously and realize how it can benefit them. There are two effective solutions to the problem of not doing

homework

. One way to tackle

this

is to ensure that parents and schools reduce

students

’ extra

activities

after school. By doing

this

,

students

will be able to have enough rest after school, and they can spend more time in the evening doing their

homework

. Another method of dealing with

this

is to punish

students

who do not do their tasks. The teacher can minus

students

’ marks and inform their parents about their behaviour.

For instance

, in Japan, if

students

do not do their

homework

, they cannot go to their classes until they complete their tasks.

Therefore

,

this

will make them scared and start doing their

homework

regularly.

To sum up

, reducing extracurricular

activities

and punishing

students

are the two effective ways to overcome

this

conundrum. If parents and schools applied these solutions, the rate of

students

who do not do their

homework

would drop.
