=Homework...? = By: Zach, Madison, Elysiana, and Kelsey ﻿ Students should not be required to do homework, as it does﻿ not always increase learning.

When is the last time you actually enjoyed doing your homework? Do you remember what you learned last week? Did you have to ask for help, or did you understand all the homework, no questions asked? For many students, the answers to these questions are very rarely positive. If a teacher sends homework home and the student has no idea what he/she learned in class that day, it won't be very easy to complete. Nowadays, many kids do understand what they are learning in class, so they think the homework is a waste of time. As a result, they don't do it. Think about how many high school drop-outs could have graduated if they turned in their homework. What if you learned how to do your homework wrong? How many parents actually sit in class and know what their child is learning? Very few even see midterms, not to mention their kids' homework. For these reasons, many people feel educators should not assign homework to their pupils. 

Kids are often so frustrated with homework that it all comes out in anger which hurts self esteem.....and makes them have funny-looking faces.media type="custom" key="7526733" width="16" height="16" align="right" //[]//. Accessed 12-5-10.
