Homework Debate

The housing problem is one that is shared by educators and parents. Before assigning homework, teachers should carefully consider the validity of the assignment, the students' skills, and the reason for assigning it. The considerations in this article are from both parents and educators primary point of view, and there are certainly good reasons for and against homework.

tasks according to Wikipedia, "refers to activities which the students by their teachers tousually undertaken outside of school. "In this statement, there are some legitimate questions that arise.

1. The house must be able to complete independently by students or their parents should be supported?

While parental support is always welcome to live in reality, many of our students in families where the parents' help is not always easily accessible. As well, family time is so inconsistent that always seems to be the holy season, which would have been better spent interactingto fight one another as the family unit, instead of doing homework.

This does not mean that parents should never help their child. It must be said that educators should teach their classes consciously so thoroughly that parental assistance is usually unnecessary. Some teachers go so far as the parents requested help with their homework, and do not breed positive feelings toward school. Instead, parents feel that the teacher does not do his job and looks forward toParents, pick up the pieces. This leads to the next question ...

2. What is the purpose of homework?

The purpose of homework, I think, is the practice. It is designed to teach something new. Rather, it is, the powers that were previously taught in the classroom. The idea of homework, in and of itself, generates negative feelings for many students and parents. One gets tired from school and are often frustrated by the school day. Many childrenare also involved in other activities is equally important to their social and emotional well-being, and can take up too much at home (homework without a real purpose) such other activities.

Another purpose of the task that is often cited is to start building responsibilities. However, it is really our role as educators have to deal with homework? There are other ways to build this feature in our students? After these words, I believe, a small amount (10-15Minutes) of some significant practice nights is a good thing, but at home would require students to be active producers of meaning, and if the work is not available, that does not give.

3. It is not essential task for the classes?

No Homework may be to use it groped, but the actual grades should get the performance of students in classes in grades as a complete brand. So I do not want classified every time I practiced to be something, and studies show that it can be up to28 criteria, a new concept for students to solidify the material. I think "mark homework, but" types "of subjective and objective observations and formal evaluations are in the classroom. Maybe the tasks should be shared in class and not by teachers who have just walked no discussion among students.

4. If we increase the standard, this does not mean students have to work harder?

Yes, but so should teachers. This does not mean more homework -It corresponds to innovative ways of providing content to understand how children learn best, holding students accountable for their progress in school, and as sure as we teach in meaningful ways that students make connections and more on the scaffoldings required knowledge. In no way does this is equivalent to forcing students to work more at home. Instead, his day should be filled with meaningful learning experiences that their time at home that is best left to the individual activities andactivities for families.

preconceived notions of homework should be is, and the purpose is always a difficult issue. Educators have much to do with the change in attitude, considering how we use tasks in depth, the impact on our students and their families, and when a house is suitable for a deeper understanding of a topic.
