Should Students Have Homework

Homework for students is a part of the schoolwork. It is as important as the classwork. Therefore, students should have homework during their school years. The question is what homework is, how much homework should be enough for them to fulfill, how they can do their homework better, and whether all the homework must be hand in to the teachers.

Somebody thinks that so-called homework means, of course, the written work. In fact, it is such a viewpoint is of prejudice. Teachers fix up their pupils with homework because it can help them gain new insights through reviewing old materials. It is good to do work at home no matter whether it is written or oral. Unimaginably, some of the teachers order them to copy many a repeated material. Maybe they believe doing so can do the deed for punishing those who are lazy with their lessons out of school. Unfortunately, such a behavior makes other innocent persons come to harm. Sometimes it is wasting their precious hours to do the endless milk-and-water work in vain. On the other hand, certain of oral work can not only save time but also get twice the result with half the effort.

It is true that homework for students should be all around, both written and oral. Nevertheless，it brings about another question: How much should be enough. The more is not always the better. Man’s time and energy is limited. Besides study, he must sleep, have his meals, do exercises and so on. As a student, shouldn’t he help his parents with the housework? Even on the part of study, a student has to attend classes and take part in every activity at school and cannot be wrapped up in homework only in door, so it should be suitable for him. Unluckily, students are loading down with their work at home and at school. It is hight time that they were unloaded what they are able to bear.

Now let me come to another topic: How a student can do their homework better. Some subjectively assert that homework must be done by himself.

However, it is not the only way, I think, that one should do his homework by himself, though he could train his ability thinking for himself. Every road leads to Rome. There are all kinds of means, by which a student can reach the same target, such as discussing with others, being tutored by his parents, referring to the answers by his classmates and so on. If a teacher is strict enough to order him complete it with high hand, he will force him into a corner so that the student’s confidence is sure to come down.

Finally, I want to make a question which is “whether all the homework must be hand in to the teachers”. The answer lies on two respects: on the one hand, some of them should be shown to the the teachers, which are likely to be useful for them to improve their teaching methods after going it over and finding some important information in it; on the other hand, some, which are only for the students to prepare their lessons, don’t need piling up, which the teacher can check them up in class by means of putting questions to them.

All the above summed up, the conclusion comes that it is not dispensable or indispensable to make arrangements for homework, but in the final analysis, how to do it.
