Is homework actually good?

2016-11-23 5:29 pm
Yea I know it's to better understand the material but I get around 4 hours of homework. School is around 8 hours (sometimes more sometimes less) and we need 8hours to get a good nights sleep. That takes away 16-18 hours and we're left with 6-8 hours to eat, take a shower, socialize, watch tv and entertain ourselves and you take away 4-5 hours of that with homework and you're left with 2-3 hours to do all that and maybe some activities outside of school. They expect 30 hours of volunteer work by the end of the year and I just don't see how they think kids can do this.

Homework is good. Students often think they understand the material only to be stymied by actually doing work themselves. That being said, there is such a thing as too much homework. I don't agree with a prof who told me "if you get all your homework finished, you're not getting enough homework"

There’re no doubts that studying can be a tortures process. It takes much time to be ready for lessons. Almost everyone has ever read books in a train or a bus after sleepless nights. However, I do think that homework is essential element of students’ life. You have enumerated a plenitude of things that you cope with! You have obtained a very important skill – self-organization! The most cool is that you are becoming smarter and smarter person who is able to do many things in one day! It is more than cool.

The ****? 8 hours of school? Damn I have 5 hours. Anyways homework causes stress and leads to depression. It doesn't help you at all. My school gives 6-8th a little bit of homework. Not too much. And it's not very rare that we don't have homework. Homework is basically classwork you didn't finish at least that's what my teacher says...

It's overdone. It has benefits, don't get me wrong. Particularly in math, it has to be practiced in order to be fully understood. But as mentioned before, there is too much homework out there. 50 problems of homework won't tell you anything more about a math concept than 25 problems would.

Homework is good for you. Homework is like practicing. It shows your mistakes so you can know them and redo them then you will be good on a test. That's what my teacher says. I think it's true. I wasn't paying attention in class about the teacher's lesson. I had homework about that lesson and I didn't understand but I tried. The next day, my class and I we're correcting our assignment and I got to know my mistakes because I told my teacher what I did wrong. She taught me the mistakes I did. I knew what I did wrong so I 100% know what I had to do. Later on, I aced the test. My grade got higher. This is why homework is good for you so people, always remember to do your homework and take it seriously! 👍🏻👍🏻😉😉

In a way, it can be good. There is a lot that school systems are supposed to teach students and, realistically, they can't possibly meet those goals while school is in session alone. It helps move lessons along if students do some reading or other work outside school as "homework". Without homework, lesson plans would probably fall far behind schedule and, as a consequence, the duration of school years might have to be extended into summer to catch up.

If there was less, the yes. It shows that you can do the work independently. Maybe do your volunteering at weekends? And get quicker at doing homework.

No, it ridiculous. A little is good but not at the rate we're doing half our work at home. We should be working on other essential skills outside school. How do we find time to cook dinner, build things, get jobs, and be independent if we spend so much time sitting on our butts finishing things that should be mostly kept to school. It's also just not good for your back to sit so long.

yeah homework is good for students if it is given according to the chapter dictated in the class and it gives revision to the students so that they can keep in touch with topic learnt in class...

What grade are you in? (If you don't mind saying)

I say kids in 7-8th grade, 2 hours is the limit. Over that, maybe 2-3? Maybe more on some days.
Is it 4 hours because you are cramming? Is 4 hours the norm?

Do your homework but don't overdue it. Understand the general idea. Anyways nowadays it's more about the hands you shake and knowledge you have rather than the degrees you get.
