Homework: Yes, but in Moderation
Education is what parents strive to establish as a legacy to their children. Best academic performance is the
primary goal of most parents and students alike as it leads to a bright future. However, is having homework so
vital in this educational process? I am one among those who contend that homework has a tremendous impact
for students’ future.
The main reason is attributed to academic progress in which learning at school is definitely enhanced by doing
an enrichment task at home. A common adage says, “Practice makes perfect.” May it be to claim it as coming
nearer to perfection or with flying colours, homework comes with its role to pave the way to better careers
through efficient learning.
Moreover, doing assignments creates the will and determination of the learners to apply at home what was
learnt at school; this time, without the teacher’s supervision. As a consequence, students are enabled to work
independently, face the tasks with the challenge to prepare for real life issues that associates may be gone and
no one could offer help, but yourself.
On its entirety, although many students go home exhausted after extended time at school, thinking that
homework is unreasonable, I reiterate and cling to the fact that assigned tasks make students ready for the
legitimate battle ahead, in the near future as doing them prepares students holistically: intellectually and
behaviourally. It is high time teachers considered giving homework in moderation and practically
proportional with the number of subjects the student has. (250words)
Homework: Yes, but in Moderation
Education is what parents strive to establish as a legacy to their children. Best academic performance is the
primary goal of most parents and students alike as it leads to a bright future. However, is having homework so
vital in this educational process? This creates an ongoing controversy among people involved in the learning
society.
Those who assert that having an assignment is favourable attribute the main reason to academic progress in
which learning at school is definitely enhanced by doing an enrichment task at home. As a consequence, an
efficient performance leads to better careers. Moreover, determination to work independently is developed in
one’s character since assignments are done without the teacher’s supervision.
On the reverse face of the issue, those who are dead set against having homework contend that students go
home exhausted, making assignments unreasonable and unreliable proof of learning since they have the
tendency not ignore them or accomplish the tasks haphazardly without the intention to practice and enrich
learning; nevertheless, only for the sake of submission. Hence, no commitment to do better is on the
foreground.
Upon balancing both sides, I still find the notion of doing a learning obligation at home very likely as it builds up
the best of every student’s capacity to improve; however, there should be co-operation among teachers to
designate homework in moderation or in alternate schedules to consider the number of subjects the student
has. (236)
