Children should not have homework. Homework has nothing to do with achievements. Children just learn to work like slaves. Controlled by parents and teachers. Parents who cannot let their children be unactivated use homework as an excuse to passivise (?) the child. The-not-done-homework-punishment can be anything, economic, imprisonment what ever. Nothing to do with learning and growing. Just resignation, servility and hypocrisy. Children should learn about real life first hand when off school. Parents should show their children what it means to be grown-up. Children should be used to just sit and stair, being bored to incubate what happened at school. They should study other generations.
Children must get time to read, read, read. Nice if parents would do that instead of some meaningless parrot task, which night cause stress in the family and even hostility.
Grown-ups should teach everyday-maths, units, language, humor, satire, discussion and debates, arts a.s.o. And above all not let the children sit still on chairs. They HAVE to move! It's Life. Set the last slaves free! Observe them. School things shall be taught by teachers. They know the child as an individual among peers. They will create our future society. But their personal development and private life must be developed outside any organization, including media, in real life with real people, animals, plants and geology.
Read Rousseau, Maria Montessori, Noam Chomsky, Bertrand Russel and almost any genius. What did you yourself learn from homework? What did you learn from a wonderful teacher? What did you learn from an old person? What did you learn when you felt free and happy and self confident? Good Luck

Homework basically helps mould a child to be part of the education system so that the child learns to distinguish between play and learning. This of course is apart from testing one's understanding of what is taught in the class. However, at elementary level, the amount of homework assigned should be moderate so that the students are not far too stretched and stressed!
(By the way, 'I'm or I am' and 'whether'. There are so far no such words in English language as in your question - Im and weither!)

I think homework is a terrible idea...specifically NIGHTLY homework...I think having a specific project is fine.
Thousands of people who grew up in the 70's and 80's didn't have nightly homework and this country (usa) has created some of the most innovative technology. Many countries that emphasize academia, like Japan for example do not issue homework, HOWEVER, they offer 1-2 hours at school to complete all work.
I think that is a fantastic idea. I wish we did it here. Also, when my son had homework in Kindergarden....I was basically doing it...you can't walk away and expect a 5 year old to even be able to read the instructions! Ridiculous.
PS: I like homework, personally, but I don't think it is highly valuable.

It's proven that in countries that have no homework, students do better on tests than students in countries that do have homework.
I think that if you go to school for 7 hours a day, you shouldn't be made to do more of that work at home. I think if you get 7 hours a day at school (8-3) you should have 7 hours at home to do what you want(3-10)
I think this should apply to high school at least. I think in grade school, homework is important because as someone else mentioned, you can develop good study habits but once you get to high school it's not that necessary.
High school is a breeze compared to grade school.

My 0.33 grader gets to lots homework, a pair of million hour maximum nights. My first grader does no longer get any homework, his instructor does no longer have faith in it ( i'm terrified approximately next 12 months) i think of a few homework, practising spelling words and analyzing in oftentimes sufficient. infants choose time to unwind. that is quite difficult interior the beginning up of they 12 months and the tip of the 12 months while the climate is sturdy and all they want to be doing is enjoying exterior. The turn facet to that's if some infants did no longer have homework they might spend extra time on the laptop or enjoying video games. I do think of homework takes remote from family participants time. i might want to work out the college day slightly longer, my boys are at college from 8:15 till 2:30. i think of yet another 0.5 an hour may well be sturdy.

As a parent, I am 100% with the idea of homework. My son is in first grade, how else would I know what he is learning except through the homework he brings home. It also allows me as a parent to spend quality and structured time with my child.

Absolutely! This is the only way to get children to use what they learn. If they did not have homework then kids would probably sit in front of the tv/ xbox/ playstation all day long and just get more lazy!

Yes, of course they should...learning is about developing good study habits from the beginning....if they hit high school and have never had homework how will they know how to study....not to mention the fact that they'll be stupid because they never learned anything to begin with.

You learn better through repetition. Of course, homework is essential to learning new skills.
