Opinion on homework.
All throughout elementary, middle, and high school you are given homework and it is almost always graded. Some teachers don't give it out, maybe because they don't want to grade extra papers or simply because they don't like it and simply don't give homework assignment to their kids for the whole year because of it. And some give home work every day and grade it the next day, which can help kids raise their grades or drop it if they don't like doing it. I'm going to give my two cents on the subject and if you care keep reading.
(I wrote this from the stand point of a high school student because I am obviously in high school, this idea would work wonders on a high school level imo but not too sure about it in college or elementary)
I personally don't have a problem with homework and think it can definitely benefit some but I don't think it should be graded normally. Homework in my opinion is given to make sure that you have made progress and give you more experience on what you are learning. But I don't like the fact that homework is mandatory. You obviously have a choice to do it but it will hurt you if you don't. I think homework should be bonus, that way you are rewarded for going the extra mile and doing it on your own time. What teachers should do is print out homework and put it in a stack next to the door and say "Everyone, if you are struggling and need more practice or want to raise your grade then come up and grab this and do it at home. If you don't need it then you don't have to do it but I will give bonus points for those that complete it".
Forcing kids to do work that they don't like will make them hate it throughout school which isn't the attitude kids should have in school if we want to encourage a positive learning environment. This will encourage kids/teens to do homework and will benefit there grades and will promote positive habits throughout school. Am I alone on this or do you guys agree, I'd love to get some feedback from everyone.

If a teacher isn't able to grab their students attention, they don't need to be a teacher. Homework doesn't help kids learn. Just my opinion.

The way I see it kids will hate school anyway. This subject is rather opinionated but what I think homework is mostly meant to do is to teach responsibility and time management to prepare for adult life when you will again have these mandatory responsibilities. It's also practice to better grasp the subject which is definitely a bonus. Homework should be a huge incentive anyway because without it there is no cushion when you mess up on tests. Without this homework cushion 1 bad test will hurt your grade immensely. I understand your opinion and respect it but this is mine.

1 RespuestaSchool should stay at school, unless you're home schooled.

1 RespuestaWe all hate HW, but I think we can all agree there's nothing worse than a teacher who assigns a tedious and long project over vacation. IT'S VACATION!
-
I have been saying this for years and I'm finally glad someone agrees with me! Homework should not be mandatory. It should be my choice to do it or not because I am the one who is losing benefit, not the teacher.
-
1 RespuestaI think homework is useful for studying and can help teachers- wait a second, I think I am just going to- I can't believe I am beginning to defend homework.

4 RespuestasEditado por LahDsai: 11/29/2016 12:14:43 PMI disagree. What you're suggesting is going on the assumption that children share the same motivations and forward thinking as an adult. If the child does everything that is required of them (but not the extra work), yet still struggles, who's going to be to blame? The child, the parents or the teacher? I can guarantee the parents and child will say "the teacher" while the teacher will blame both the child and parents. Now, I can see the logic in making homework madatory but scoring it based on completion rather than overall performance. The problem here is that since students know their performance doesn't matter, some (if not many) will put in minimal effort and rush through the work. A solution could be a general "understanding" score: >=80% ~ A 60%-70% ~ C <60% ~ F At least that way, students have to put in some effort, but there isn't that pressure for perfection. Personally, I'd suggest smaller homework or, conversely, allow more time for assignments to be turned in. In math, assign 10-15 questions rather than 25-50. In geography, have students answer 5 questions each day over the course of the week and check each day to make sure they're on track. On top of that, make completion a percent of the score. You get 50% for just doing it and the other 50% goes into the performance. That way, if a kid gets 11/15 questions right, they get an 87% rather than a 73%. Performing well is important but effort still counts for something.

1 RespuestaPersonally I think that would work more for high school students. Personally I'm currently a junior in high school and still to this day hate homework and choose not to do it. For elementary school and middle school homework definitely helped me understand the stuff that was taught in class always kept my grade good because it was worth so much. Although in highschool for most classes homework is barely worth 20% of your grade so not doing it will not crush your grade drastically. That concept though would work because for me personally I have 4 classes each day that are about a hour to two hours long. That is enough time for me to grasp everything taught in class, but putting homework in a bin or folder for bonus would be good if I need the extra points for say an exam or some classwork that I missed for whatever reason. Also 4 classes each day, not the same classes but 8 different classes in total that rotate every other day. I don't have the time for each teacher to assign me homework and expect it to be due the next class day if I have 3 AP classes out of the 8 total. That is simply too much.

1 RespuestaI think it's stupid. Instead of encouraging kids to do more school after school encourage them in getting jobs.
-
4 RespuestasHomework should not be a separate assignment. Homework is work that was not completed at school and should therefore be completed at home, to be graded the next day. It is not more work, it is leftover work.
-
I know that alot of people disagree but i actually really like this idea it makes homework not as big as an impact on your grade if you totally bomb it and like you said you could get to use as practice if you dont know it
-
Homework has too much power and is given out too much. I think it should be lowered drastically and it should'nt give your grade such a big dent if you miss it. Homework at my school, if missed, can drop your current letter grade almost by half. (A+ 100% --> A 50%)
-
2 Respuestas1. If homework was not mandatory no one will do it or nearly no one. 2. Think about the teacher too, the more homework they give the more work they have to correct it after work. Think school as a trial, you have all the subject available that will help you choose your future career. Every subject has a lot of topics and in school the teacher can't go in detail on everything. Teachers needs to know that students have all the information they need so they give homework that will help student choose their future and also pass their exams that will allow them to move to the next year.

Depends on the class. Having 5-10 math problems for homework can be helpful in reinforcing what you learned in class. Everyone should read the material before going into class. There should be reading outside the tertiary sources (textbooks). Primary and secondary sources should be read. History classes in HS need to incorporate more writing and less memorization (which does nothing). With all this said, if you're not in college yet better prepare yourself. Homework/ work outside of class is very important and time consuming.
-
Had a math teacher who almost everyday would spend about half the class teaching then would give us a 5 to 10 question paper to do the rest of the class and/or take it home and do it. He only ever graded the papers as completion grades. His theory on homework was something along the lines of if we wanted to learn the material we would learn it and if not the homework would just be a waste of both or our time. Why bother having it. The high school teacher with a doctorate was the only teacher I had that didn't give homework

7 RespuestasAs an 11th grader I say that Homework is necessary. It teaches you that in life you can't just sleep on the job, literally. Do I like doing homework? No, but do I try my best to complete it? Yes.
-
2 RespuestasThere have been studies that show homework increases anxiety for children and has little to no academic benefits.
-
1 RespuestaUseless. Should be abolished along with the abomination we call "common core."
-
1 RespuestaFor assignments and projects, yes. For everything else, no. Though I do believe teachers should encourage students to pursue material which interests them in their own time.

2 RespuestasI used to skip my English homework when I was at school. Years later I used to feel self conscious of my letter writing especially my spelling So I hired a home tutor But every time I'd hand an assignment in to him he would look at it sigh shake his head an tut After a week of this I looked at his contract, I had hired a tutter.
-
6 RespuestasStudy time at home is important. You have limited time to learn in a school day therefore going the extra mile should be mandatort but you lazy entitled little shits want the world handed to you rather than facing the grim reality that you must work for it.
-
One teacher said that homework is a progress check, but found it to be pointless Spend the entire class answering these questions, so why go home and do em again? If theres anything you dont understand, and you didnt bother to ask in class, then you definitely wont seek help outside of school. If a student felt they need extra practice, they simply had to approach him, but he didnt want to have the class waste their own time doing the same work they did today unless the student felt they had to. My personal opinion? I never did the homework anyways, so it's whatever. If it wasnt going to have a major impact on my grade, i didnt bother
-
It's a pain in the ass
-
I'm on the opinion that homework is an obedience check but in some subjects it is also a progress check. But daily h/w is what causes the burn out, I think homework on a per week basis is more practical given the amount of subject that is being juggled in schools.
-
Homework should be knowledge based, not writing 3 paragraphs on a subject. That wastes time. For example: 24 hour day 9 hours of sleep is the optimal time for a teenager to sleep 6 hours of school [b]This is already 15 hours of your day[/b] Lets say each class give 30 mins of homework(thats generous, not even considering honors classes) [b]18 hours[/b] What about sports or after school? Lets say 2 hours [b]20 hours[/b] That gives you 4 hours (give or take) that you have to yourself to relax, shower, and do whatever. Its almost a full time job. Those 3 extra hours could give kids a lot more time to have a childhood.

at my highschool, homework is very rarely graded. in any of the grade levels. homework is more of a study tool and notes to look back on for summatives, which are basically all our tests and quizzes, and of course exams. summatives and final exams are the only things that affect our grade, i think summatives are 70% and finals are 30% bur it might be the other way around. anyway, i rarely do homework unless i'm struggling in a course and need the extra practice, and thats after heading in at lunch for help from a teacher. i instead take notes during lessons and use those for studying. i definitely like this system better, ive been to five schools in my lifetime and think this is the best. it takes less stress off students and doesn't have students heavily involved in sports, other extracurriculars, or personal struggles with family or friends so they don't have homework as something to worry about in their schedules, at least not all the time.
