Does Your Homework Help You Learn? By Frédérique Plante

We spend hours a day sitting in a class just taking all that new information in. Yet, we spend even more time at home completing work from the same topic from that day's class. Homework, is it helpful or useless? Well I think it isn't always necessary. Studies have shown that homework doesn't help the students' grades. Regardless homework seem to be so important.

I can shamelessly say that I don't always do my homework. I sometimes am so exhausted that instead of spending my whole evening doing homework, I like to have a little break. Homework isn't needed in every class. 4 periods a day, the work can add up. We don't have enough time to complete it all. There is life outside of school, friends, family, work, and sometimes we just don't have the time. Math homework is very important in my opinion. It's basically practice and for you to actually understand. In some other classes, I think it's completely irrelevant. Sometimes we have up to 10 pages to complete. It's too much. But, if its class work that isn't done because you we're fooling around or you were too slow, now that's fine to me. It's the student's responsibility to complete their work and follow along. Some teachers do grade their students homework and marks are taken away if not completed. 

The education system varies from every part of the globe. I say, if its required, do it. At the end, it will help you in the long run. We all have our different opinions on the subject. You might like better to hang with friends instead of doing homework, but you'll get penalized. In my opinion homework isn't always necessary, but is important in math class and if its work not completed, it's fine. Do you do your homework?
