Persuasive Essay Homework

Have you ever struggled on homework before? I have and sometimes it is because that inappropriate homework may produce little or no benefit, it may even increase student achievement, and stress. Some people think that homework is just to review what you did in school, but it isn’t always. Students should not have homework because homework can cause stress, students are involved in many after school activities, and most importantly, students need more free-time.

In an article by Marzano and Pickering it states that homework may no be an effective in educational tool. Homework is just busy work most of the time. Therefore, the extra homework doesn't help with student achievement. Inappropriate homework may produce little or no benefit, it might even decrease achievement, according to Marzano and Pickering. Homework can cause stress and when they're stressed all the homework they have doesn’t help.

Homework is an overgrown jungle that needs to be cut down to a manageable size.(Metaphor) So I recommend that we should have little to no homework because of students having to stay up late doing it, it interferes with after school activities, family time, some students do not have the time to do it and lets face it, it is just more work the teachers have to grade, so it is a lose-lose situation. In the future I hope that one day students can have little to no homework so we can do activities we enjoy doing and get a good nights rest (assuming you go to bed at a decent

    In the beginning I believed homework was in no way helpful to kids, but my opinion slightly changed after reading the article “Would Kids Be All Right Without Homework?” by Susan Schwartz. The article explains how homework can help children learn if given in moderate amounts. For example, David Mcleod, father of a seven year old son, says through homework, ¨we could see what he was learning and what he was having trouble with¨ (Schwartz). I agreed that homework could give parents a better idea of what their children are doing in school, but sometimes it is too much. To illustrate, David also tells an interviewer, ¨He'd [David's son] come home tired and hungry after being picked up from an after-school program some days as late as 6 p.m. That's a long day. Between dinner and homework, there was often little downtime before bedtime¨ (Schwartz). Although it is important for parents to be involved

This is because I believe that students already get enough practice in an average school day and giving them too much homework will lead them to despise learning and school. I think teachers should not give homework for three main reasons: so kids can have more family time, participate in other out-of-school activities without worry, and so they don’t have to stay up late finishing homework, which greatly strains their academic performance. Homework affects your family life in two main ways. First, you don’t have time for family activities after school if you are overwhelmed with homework. And second, if you stay up late doing homework, you will be too tired to do any family activities. Teachers should not consider other activities when assigning homework. This is because not all students have the same

Students all over the world hate homework. Even some teachers hate homework, but they still assign it. Homework causes stress, students have no time, and if kids don't understand the homework, it won't help. Homework just causes a lot of problems. Student should not get anymore homework.

The Board of Education thinks homework helps with our school work or tests. Also, according to Alfie Kohn students should not be held responsible if they did not do their homework because teachers do not know how much homework they have at the end of the day to finish by tomorrow. However, this is ineffective because the teachers think their students always have someone like a mother, father or sibling to help but they aren't always free. Sometimes some people need help doing things so they have their parents or family push them a little bit and guide them through most of it. According to Wendy J. Ponte she has to help her kids out with homework 24/7 and has to deal with them being all whiny and acting totally different since they do not want to do their homework. Also According to Judeen Bartos he talks about the students complaining about the homework so much that the parents get stressed out because they have to stop whatever they are doing and help their kids with their homework. Students should not receive homework because it is harmful in many different

Should high school students be receiving homework every night? After a long and hardworking school day, kids are tired and just want some free time. They take a long time to study for tests and quizzes so why should they get homework on top of that. Students have seven classes and if they get homework every night in each class, it may be overwhelming for them, not to mention most students have afternoon activities. High school students should not receive homework every night.

Students should not have homework because it adds extra stress to their lives. Kids are already very stressed because of school, especially high school students who happen to get the most homework. Homework is just added stress. Students already stress about grades,colleges, IN class work, sports, family life, and friends so why add to that with

Do kids really need homework? Most students would agree that homework is over-rated, time consuming and sometimes exhausting. With busy schedules to balance, homework can be very stressful. I think homework should not be mandatory.

In high school, you are assigned six daily classes. Each class wants you to excel in its subject. In order to really excel, you must succeed in completing the heavy load of homework assigned by each classroom. Even the student that does not have outside school activities, can be challenged by completion of the daunting task of completing the daily homework load. Collected from my own experience and the experiences of other students, the homework assignments amount to somewhere between three to five hours of activity. While not every night is that homework intensive, the overall demand to complete the amount of homework necessary for success is so great, it affects the students’ lives. Information from the National

If kids are at home and need help who are they going to ask for help? This can not only endanger their knowledge by trying to figure by themselves (incorrectly), but it can also endanger their learning. From the article “ My Thoughts on homework” a principle says “More homework does not equal more learning.” Now a teacher from the article “ The potential harm of homework”has some thoughts “The pressure of having to complete homework every night is quite daunting for most children and they need time to refresh their minds and bodies.”.You can see that homework can be in the way of the child's learning with the teacher.These two articles both have school workers with their own opinion about homework not giving good benefits to a

A study conducted by Stanford University found that students in middle to high income school districts receive on average three hours of homework every night. After an extensive day brimming with classes who would yearn to go home and immediately undertake this additional burden of homework? Unfortunately for most students this is precisely what they have to do; this is particularly challenging for those who partake in extracurricular activities. These students stay up later to study, otherwise the abundance of homework handed out by teachers would never get completed. The overload of homework students receive on a daily basis is detrimental to their well being, for it results in a debilitating surge of stress levels, an inadequate development of life skills, and deprivation of necessary sleep.

You plan on going over to your friends house after school then bam, all of your teachers assign you 10 pages of homework. You have swim practice right after school then you have to go straight to soccer afterwards and you don't get home until 8:00. Bam! Your teachers assign you 3 hours of homework that night. Teachers assign their students too much homework on a daily basis giving them barley any free time to socialize with friends or family or have time to relax after sports. Too much homework is a problem because most students are busy with after school activities and don't get home until later giving them little time to do the mountains of homework assigned by their teachers everyday.

Firstly homework is not proven to be beneficial. Homework does not prove to be beneficial as teachers have monitored their students grades and have found that if children from kindergarten to year 7 get more than 30 minutes of homework, their grades can decrease as they spend more time on homework that won't help them.
