Some things are more important than grades! I hate the rule homework. Especially when the student has an important event to go to and might not have time to finish their homework. I hate it because it has to be turned in the next day, some grades are not what you feel like you worked for, and teachers do not give you enough time to work on the homework they give you.
So, my first reason why I hate the rule homework is that it has to be turned in the next day. Occasionally, we get the whole week to do homework for something but that is normally for essays and paragraphs. I think we should at least have the whole week to do every assignment. The second reason I hate the rule homework is that some grades are not what you feel like you worked
Studies show homework barely makes a difference. Kids claim homework is useless to them, and they might be right. Homework can be hard for kids and when they have trouble then it is harder for them to understand what the instructions are. Kids also get worried when they forget their homework. I think you should be able to turn in homework a day early or a day late. Most importantly kids do not perform better by a lot when they do homework. I think kids should have no homework.
Following rules isn’t really my thing, and neither is school. I’m so fed up with teachers and rude people telling me what to do. Stressed is an understatement. School is more like a hassle to me than something I’m committed to and want to pursue every day. It’s holding me back from the great things I am capable of. I could be seeking out new adventures and travels, meeting new people, traveling the world, experiencing different cultures, and becoming the person I want to be, not what everyone else wants me to be. School shapes people into someone that isn’t really them. Everyone judges and puts labels on people that makes them actually the person everyone else wants them to be. School should be meant to study what you are into and want to pursue in the future. Since school isn’t like this and has so many rules to follow, assignments, due dates, projects, and students and teachers to deal with, then I would rather do what I want and explore to find what I want to do in the future. We the people of the United States declare ourselves independent from
I believe, as a student, that homework is just a tool that teachers use to keep us busy. Being a student who has received homework for various years, I have found that homework causes me a lot of stress (Ethos). Homework causes kids to get very stressed out, it causes stress in their families, and studies show that it does not improve test scores. Harris Cooper, a worker at Duke University (Ethos), found out that, doing more than 60 to 90 minute of homework in middle school and more than 2 hours in high school is associated with much lower scores (Logos). This just shows that homework is a useless item that students are forced to do. Firstly, students have to wake up from seven until two o'clock everyday,
Sometimes our parents have no time to help us because they have their jobs. Then if we can’t get any help it’s going to be either a late grade or an F because we can’t get a good grade without a complete assignment. Our parents could also have a goodnight sleep without having to worry about us failing their classes because of homework. Teachers will also gain out of no homework because they don’t have to deal with grading messy handwriting and awful grammar. They don’t have to stay up however long it takes just to grade all the papers their students. It’s especially hard for middle school teachers and up because there are so many kids and so many different classes. Teachers can go anywhere they want if their lesson plan is finished for the next day if there is no homework. They won’t have to deal with angry kids, teens and yelling at them if they’re failing school because of homework. Homework is keeping everyone up.
We all view the benefits of homework differently. Homework can have many effects but it’s not as helpful to everyone as one may think. It can prove to be more stressful than beneficial, can confuse you more than help you, and doesn’t 100% help standardized testing. People need to understand what homework really is and how beneficial it actually is. They need to understand that homework doesn’t always help and that it can prove to be less helpful than
Homework is barely given in high school. Teachers try to get as much done in class and tell the students to just review their notes. I think that is terrible. Personally, I think homework should be given at least three times a week to help the brain continue outside of class and also help with time management. Once entering college to be successful you should at least study the number of hours out of class that you’re in class. This is a big difference once in college and you have never had to accommodate this skill while in high school. It’s almost as if you’re being set up to fail because so much is expected from you and you become overwhelmed with the college life that you should already be prepared
The debate regarding exactly how much homework is too much homework has been an ongoing debate for years. As of right now, there seems to be no end in sight for this debate. Various adults believe that if children do not obtain homework, then they are not learning properly. However, numerous children are obtaining a substantial amount of homework per night, as well as per each class. Once a child exceeds a certain amount of homework, then it is no longer beneficial for the child’s education. An excessive amount of homework can essentially become harmful to the child’s education. As a result, teachers are struggling with finding the right amount of homework to assign to students. The National Education Association as well as the National Parent-Teacher Association endorse the “10-minute rule” for teachers to follow when assigning homework to students. If a child is assigned an excessive amount of homework, then the child might experience more harm than good when attempting to complete the assigned homework.
Shopping at the mall and hanging out with friends is much more important than doing homework. Why are students required to do homework anyway? It’s a waste of time so they should not be required to do homework. Homework is causing stress, which is resulting in students spending less quality time with their families as well as with their friends. It is also causing students to feel burned out and to not be engaged with school as they should be. Even though students need to learn how to manage their time more effectively, including budgeting time to complete homework assignments, they should not be required to do homework. Students should not be required to do homework because it stresses out students.
School is slave labor. Rather than enjoying or learning from their classes, students are forced to do useless work that will often be forgotten immediately. Grades are meant to show much a student understands a class, but instead are used as a scale of how well a student can regurgitate answers onto a test. Students only work for good grades because of the threat of being punished for failure, and the promise of reward for passing. The punishments in this case are detention or trouble from teachers, and the rewards are making the honor roll or getting bragging rights. The real reward for learning should be having new knowledge, but this is not taken into consideration. Jerry Farber, a professor at U.S.D, made the strong claim that grades are useless and harmful in his essay, “A Young Person’s Guide to the Grading System.” I wholeheartedly agree with Farber’s objection to our current grading system.
All schools in the United States should make homework optional. In today's education system every student is required to go to school from ages starting from 5 up until he/she is 17 or 18. We teach all of our students that there is no way around hard work and if you want to make a living you must do what your told, and that is going to school, getting good grades, and potentially going to college and finding a job. This is unquestionable, whether a student agrees with it or not this will never change, but this is not the disputed point.
In my opinion, homework is very lengthy and over-done. Some teachers give multiple pages or packets of homework each night. My argument is not that homework should disappear completely, but that there should be a limit to how much a teacher gives per week. In other words, the homework should be shorter. The article The Trouble With Homework by Anne Murphy Paul says that most homework is “busy work”. This means that teachers constantly give homework just to keep the students busy, when it actually doesn’t benefit the student whatsoever.
Teachers have been deciding if they want to get rid of homework. In reality, the students are getting excited about this because who really wants homework? But by doing this, it risks students not learning the material they are supposed to learn. Teachers should grade students based on whether or not they understand the material. So, homework should be graded as extra credit. If the homework gets graded as extra credit, then it won’t be counted against the student if they get it wrong, but help them if they get it right.
Homework is a thing that should be a something to do at school. Homework can be a distress so why should we have homework. Homework is something that is supposed to help you but I don't think it does. A lot of people hate homework. Homework is just something that is boring.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get home, study a little, and just relax? Well most students have to deal with hours of homework when they get home from school. When I get home, I would rather do a little homework, relax, and spend time with my family. Not spend the rest of the day doing homework, when you already have 7 hours of school. I believe that giving homework is crucial to students who want to have a life outside of school.
First of all, homework causes material being taught in class the next day to have greater relevance and is easier to understand. Students who don’t do their homework tend to not understand the material being taught the next day as described in the article, “Why Homework Matters: Top Five (5) Reasons You Probably Should Do Your Homework” by Michael Bromley. According to the article, “If you don’t do your homework, you will most often not know what the teacher is doing in class the next day. (Bromley 2)” If you did do your homework, you would better understand the material being taught the next day. If you don’t do your homework, would fall behind the students who did do their homework. Also, you would have an extremely difficult time catching
