There are a lot of discussion
as to whether children should be given homework or not. Is it enough for
children having time to study at school or needing additional time in home for
study after school time?
Some people claim that
children do enough work in school already. They also argue that children have
their hobbies which they want to do after school, such as sport or music. A
further point they make is that a lot of homeworks are pointless and does not
help the children learn at all.
However, there are also
strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and teachers argue that it
is important to find out whether children can work on their own without the
support from the teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for children
to sit down and think about what they have learned in school.
Furthermore they claim that
the school day is too short to get anything done. It makes sense to send home
tasks like independent reading or further writing task which do not need the
teacher support.
I think, on balance, that
some homework is good idea but that should only given at the weekend when
children have more time.
