Homework defined as out of class tasks assigned to students required to do at home. Every student in the world got a homework from their teacher, to see if they understand or not. According to Ron Kurtus, at teacher at University of Missouri “Students typically retain only 50% of the information teachers provide in class, and they need to apply that information in order to truly learn it. That’s why the house believes that homework is not a waste of time because it improves students educational skills.
Doing your homework’s will improve your grades by studying and reviewing what you learned of that specific lesson or subject for that day. When we go back to school the next day, we already understand the previous lesson so you can move on to the new lesson without repeating it. by being perseverance of doing homework’s, there will be a clear and noticeable change in students grades. .In 35 such studies, about 77 percent find the link between homework and achievement is positive. Meaning that homework helps and improve students achievements in school.
Homework’s also develop good study and life skills, they can develop many skills such as time-management, communication, problem solving skills, and being organized. Research by the City University of New York noted that ”students who engage in self-regulatory processes completing homework,” such as goal-setting, time management, and remaining focused,” are generally more motivated and higher achievers than those who do not use the processes.
Homework’s are important because it prepares you for high school and future, because when we go there, there will be a lot of homework’s from different classes, and we would have to organize them to not submit the wrong homework. So being prepared will definitely help you.
Homework can be a useful part of time with family as it provides a chance for parents to take part in schooling.. A poll conducted for the Associated Press in January 2006 found that about 57% of parents felt their child was assigned about the right amount of homework. Another 23% thought it was too little, and 19% thought it was too much. Also, a survey conducted by MetLife in 2007 found that 87% of parents saw that helping their child with homework was an opportunity for them to talk and spend time together. We should think of homework as being a continuation of our classwork. Not everyone in the class works at the same rate so it is necessary for teachers to give anyone who is falling behind the chance to catch up.
In conclusion, after looking at that issue from both sides, I strongly believe that homework is not a waste of time because it improve students educational skills. In any case, it is necessary to do your homework’s and do it well to get good grades.
