Homework has been a long-standing tradition in the education system, with the intention of

reinforcing learning and developing critical thinking skills. However, as students, we can all agree
that homework can be a daunting and overwhelming task. It can often feel like an endless cycle of
assignments, readings, and projects, leaving us with little time for anything else.

The amount of homework given to students has been a topic of debate for many years. While some
argue that students should have more homework to improve their academic performance, others
believe that it only adds unnecessary stress and pressure on already overwhelmed students. So, why
should students have more homework?

Building Stronger Foundations


Homework is designed to reinforce what we have learned in class and help us develop a deeper
understanding of the subject. By completing homework assignments, students can practice and apply
the concepts learned in class, building a stronger foundation for future learning. This not only
improves academic performance but also prepares students for higher education and the workforce.

Developing Time Management Skills


One of the biggest struggles students face is managing their time effectively. With the increasing
workload and extracurricular activities, it can be challenging to balance everything. However, by
having more homework, students are forced to manage their time better and prioritize their tasks.
This skill is crucial not only for academic success but also for success in life.

Encouraging Independent Learning


Homework also promotes independent learning. While teachers are there to guide and support us,
completing homework assignments allows us to take control of our own learning. It encourages us to
research, think critically, and come up with our own solutions. These skills are essential for personal
and professional growth.

One reason is homework is an extra step of learning. But some research suggests that homework is
only here to help you. Students of grade 1 can practice what they read in their class. It eventually
becomes a burden that just won’t lighten. They can make sure that they can explore their interests as
well. Moreover, students might only complete their homework just to escape punishment and not to
learn from it. Maybe they will need glasses, which is a very bad thing because it limits you from a lot
of things. My third reason is that by doing homework the teacher will get proof that you paid
attention to the teacher.For example the teacher was telling you how to do your math homework but
you weren't listening and then at home you might not know what to do. If students understand the
lecture in the class, but they do not practice it at home, they may forget the concepts after some time.
Additional Assignments for Enrichment Seekers Some middle school students seek enrichment both
in school and at home. Many of them can be beneficial for them not only during the time being but
also in their future academic and professional endeavors. You can go back to World War I or a little
after, when it was considered important for kids to exercise their brain like a muscle and that
homework was a way to do that. People in the 18-34 range were also far more likely than the total
population to say they generally had too much homework when they were students (43% vs 31%)
and that they believe high school students today also generally have too much homework (44% vs
37%). My second reason is homework is educational it will help you remember what you learn in
class. Where she thrived on competition before, she started to make excuses and make up stories. If
other countries are assigning homework and your country isn’t, your country will be at a
disadvantage. Research shows that some students regularly receive higher amounts of homework
than experts recommend which may cause stress and negative health effects. In moderation and
under the right circumstances, the types of homework assigned may prove to be beneficial just as
much as too much homework can cause many problems. A wise teacher once told me, “work smarter,
not harder.”. Student knows the struggle of a heavy homework load all too well. Reply Delete

make conscious efforts to set aside meaningful times with our loved ones and pursue leisurely
activities. A lot of colleges put too much pressure on students. My second reason is that you can learn

this effect. The amount of homework students receive should not be lessened for many reasons.
Teachers can talk to students about what they do when they get home from school. The parents can
