Homework Yes or No?



For Homework

 What do you think about homework? I think homework is good for students. I believe that homework is helpful since it is a type of review of what the student has learned. Also I find it to be a type of discipline. Those are few of the many reasons homework is helpful.

Homework is like a review of what the student has learned. By going home and doing the work, the student has a constant idea of the lesson. Also if the student has forgotten what they are learning they can look at the homework and remember. Without homework the student could forget everything! We don't want that to happen! So homework is good for students.

Another reason that homework is important is that it is a type of discipline. It teaches students to be responsible, manage time, and overall discipline. Homework is away of disciplining a child. For example if the student doesn't do the homework they get punished. If the student does do their homework they get praise or treats on occasion. So if you want the children today walking around town smart and disciplined then students should get homework.

Although students say that it's a waste of time, it really isn't. If there wasnt any homework students would go home not remembering anything they learned that day. Also even though students say that they had stayed up late the night before, it's their fault for waiting till the last minute. They could have done it after they got home. Even if they weren't at home, if they had what they needed they could have done the assignment.

In conclusion, homework is good, helpful, and important. Students need the review, discipline, and they need to learn how to manage their time. Homework is good!

Against Homework Should homework be abolished from all schools? Yes! To many people homework is helpful and to other people it's a waste of time. For one thing homework stresses out students if it is too much or too hard, eventually they will end up not doing it. The second thing is if the student doesn't do his/her homework they will get lower and lower grades. One more reason why homework should be gone is that it is a waste of paper and we all know paper kills trees, and trees gives us oxygen which means homework is killing us. By having no homework students will be less stressed and won't get lower grades and won't be killing trees.

Now since homework is getting harder, students are getting stressed. Stress effects the student's behavior or attitude. For over 20 years teachers have been pressured to help their students get good grades on their tests and raise his/her students academic standards by giving lots of homework but, John Blackstone from CBS News doesn't agree with burying students with homework. John Blackstone thinks that the children need time to play and use their time wisely with family and friends. Parents have been complaining about too much homework for their children according to John Blackstone. Stressing out students with homework isn't worth risking their grades.

Children these days are getting forgetful. Children are forgetting about doing their chores, or doing homework! Just because children forget to do their homework or they lost it doesn't mean they should get a lower grade. Children should be graded on cooperation and effort. They should be graded on cooperation because this would show how the student cooperates with other peers. Students should be graded on effort because this will show teachers how hard the student is trying to get a good, no great grade! These are just some reasons why students should not be graded by homework but by cooperation and effort.

Homework is mostly used on paper and paper is created by cutting down trees. Homework is literally killing people because trees give oxygen to breathe. You don't want to be a tree killer, do you? By using more than 500 pieces of paper each month your killing one large, fully grown adult tree! That's over 6,000 pieces of paper each year! No matter what size the tree, homework isn't worth dying.

These are some reasons why I think homework should be abolished! Taking away homework can relieve stress from students. Homework isn't a good way to grade students. Students should and MUST be graded on cooperation and effort! Children need family time and time with friends! Homework is killing us with stress,grades, and is literally killing us by killing trees! Homework SHOULD be eliminated. CBS NEWS on STUDENT STRESS <-- Link on stress on students.
