Homework should not be banned from schools. Homework is nothing but a beneficial factor for
students across America. Homework is not just a "time hogger" kind of thing. In other words it
provides an increase in 4 very important character traits as a young child becoming an adult. These 4
traits include, responsibility, time management, perseverance as well as self esteem. It teaches the
kids how to become sure of their priorities in life. A pole for the Associated Press earlier this year
found that in such 35 studies, about 77% of parents find the link between homework and achievement as positive.
If these students want to have a bright future, do homework. However, if they don't want to have such
a bright future, don't do homework, that's your choice. Homework provides students with an
advantage to learn the curriculum and what they are doing in class a lot more easier because by doing
homework they are provided with a lot more time to practice and improve on a certain skill or
concept. From real life experience of being a student at Cheshire Academy i've noticed a very big
improvement in my grades when I complete my homework because the most important thing about
taking time to do your homework is being able to understand the concept being taught to you. I was
having a lot of trouble with a specific Spanish verb tense and by doing the homework this allowed me
to do well in class the next day as well as the test we had based on this specific verb tense.
Homework does nothing but create good habits for students and increases their chances in doing well
in a certain class as well as on a specific test or quiz. It teaches students a life lesson in time
management especially if they are buried in a lot of homework in one night or even a week, it allows
them to be able to plan out certain amounts of time to do certain assignments which sets these
children up for becoming an adult in learning how to manage your life as a parent or husband and if
you end up being neither of these then just time management in life in general. Homework motivates
students to do well. A lot of kids take homework very seriously and this allows them to receive the
motivation to want to do well on the homework in a specific class. Not only is this beneficial for the
student to understand a specific concept but it allows them and gives them the advantage in the class
as well as increase their grade tremendously in the class by doing their homework. Homework is a
beneficial factor and creates students a greater chance in succeeding in school as well as learning and
improving upon real life character traits. A quotes stated by Annie Murphy Paul, an education expert
from Concordia University reads, "homework must be a deliberate practice. Students and teachers are
both fully aware of homework's purpose and point. This leads to one of the most important points
about homework, it is not effective without student buy in. Both common sense and research show
that the only chance a student has to benefit from homework is when the student actually attempts
completion, meaning that in addition to being effective, students have to be motivated to complete it.
That motivation only comes when students understand how and why homework is important." Even
though it takes up so some time in student's lives, it helps tremendously and should not be banned
from school systems
