Essay
Is Homework Necessary??
Homework is really not necessary in
my opinion. This essay strongly focuses on this happens in higher grades. As much as
this opinion, and why I think this way. But studies are important, having fun and do-
at the end of the day, I do not hate home-
work completely, at least not yet. However, ters. With this brutal combination, there
I don't think it is necessary at all. I believe
that classwork is more important.
First of all, instead of having home-
work, why couldn’t we just have a lot of
practice at school so that we don’t forget?
To make this change more effective, our
home time could be a bit late (not too
late). This way all classes could be longer,
which would result in more learning and
practice. Our writing speed and stami-
na would also be improved because of all
the practice at school. Homework doesn’t
improve our writing speed because we
usually have a lot of time to do homework,
but classwork does. Also, our handwriting
would improve as well. Struggling students student. But I don’t mean it hampers stud-
could be more focused and all queries
could be asked while doing the classwork
itself, instead of making mistakes, not un-
derstanding, getting distracted, and hav-
ing to ask others while doing homework.
Then, after we reach home, we can rest,
talk to family, and enjoy without any wor-
ry of homework. No one would even mind
late home time.
Secondly, a lot of homework is like
a load on your back, which you must take
to the destination. In fact, homework was
actually created as a punishment by Rob-
erto Nevilis, for his misbehaving students.
It was even optional back then. Now, if
our home time is late and we have a lot of
homework, we may have to stay up late to
complete it. A combination of having a lot
of homework and late home time is abso-
lutely brutal. We may miss special occa-
sions and events we have to attend. Mostly,
ing other recreational activities also mat-
is no fun on weekdays after school. If we
miss a school day, it gets even worse. Then,
we have to do the homework of both the
days- the day we were absent and the next
day’s assignments, which is so unpleasing!
An official study has claimed that more
homework leads to greater stress, more
health issues, and less family time.
Lastly, I think homework also ham-
pers studies in a way, instead of completely
improving it. Now, this may be a bit con-
fusing because homework is practice and
practice makes perfect, right? Well this is
true. A study even confirmed that home-
work leads to better performance of the
ies this way. For instance, if we have a test
on a specific day, we may have to prepare
for it. But, if we have tons of homework on
days before the test, then we may not have
enough time to study for it. Another way
it hampers studies is that for some people,
homework is so boring that instead of ac-
tually doing their homework, they proceed
to do things that are “fun” for them. This
affects studies a lot.
To conclude, I don’t think home-
work is necessary at all because it is not as
important as classwork, it feels like a load,
was created as a punishment and also
hampers studies a bit in my own academ-
ics.
