Have you ever thought that maybe homework is not beneficial? New research suggests that a lot of homework is pointless. In a 2008 survey, 1/3 of parents rated that the quality of their children's homework as fair or poor. Kids get stressed because of the amount of homework they have. So why give homework?
The amount of homework is a lot less important than its quality. Teachers should assign homework to the students that have difficulty understanding what they are learning. By giving homework, it gives the students more stress and anxiety. Teachers should meet the students one by one to see who actually understands and who doesn't.
A lot of homework is said to be pointless busy work. Some of the homeworks can be only twenty minutes but some can take up to one hour. An hour of homework is a lot for kids and teenagers. That one hour of homework may not even make you understand more. Sometimes, students have big exams and have to study for it but don't have the time because we have other homework to do that is due the next day.
Some parents think that homework is beneficial and of course it is but sometimes homework does not help us at all. Some students can not sleep at night because they are stressed of their homework. Students don't have the desire to do it. Homework should be a fun and educational advantage.
In conclusion, new research says that homework is pointless busy work and that the quantity is students homework is a lot less important than its quality. Students should have homework when they don't understand or want to learn more.
