High school students have to do schoolwork each night. Some people think that after school they should help their parents for chore works in order to learn a sense of responsibility. Do you agree or disagree?

It is right that high school students should have some time to help their parent on house chores in order to learn a sense of responsibility. However, I disagree that high school students should not do a lot of school works in order to have time for helping their parents doing household tasks.

First, many academic subjects in high school level are more complicated than previous level and need more time studying and practicing by their own. For example, when I was in high school and studied Math, I had to do a lot of exercises after finish each chapter or each topic at school in order to understand the rules or equations and can apply to various kind of problems provided. There are many complicated courses at high school such as Chemistry or Biology. These subjects all need more time to learn, to remember or to scrutinize outside the school.

Second, responsibility can be either self-awareness or learning from environment. Some schools don’t have a strict rule of submitting a schoolwork, so students have a freedom to do or not to do. So if they don’t returning it, it’s not because they have to do house works, but it’s because they don’t have a responsibility by their own. However, some schools have a strict rule on returning a schoolwork, so this is also a way to teaches students responsibility on their studying.

Finally, doing a lot of schoolworks each nigh prepares high school students for a hard and overloaded studying in college or university. There are much heavier studying courses and activities at university than the high school, so it’s a good way for high school students to be familiar with this situation before entering to college. In addition, having a good basic background on academic subjects since they studied in high school benefits students when they are in university and save their time for recalling.

In conclusion, helping family for house works is a good option for teaching high school students to learn a sense of responsibility. However, academic subjects and school works are first priority for students to have responsibility on their studying duty.
