Some people believe that school children should not be given homework by their teachers, whereas others argue that homework plays an important role in the education of children. Discuss both of these views and give your own opinion.
People’s opinions differ as to whether or not school children should be given
homework. While there are some strong arguments against the setting of
homework, I still believe that it is a necessary aspect of education.
There are several reasons why people might argue that homework is an
unnecessary burden on children. Firstly, there is evidence to support the idea
that homework does nothing to improve educational outcomes. Countries such
as Finland, where school children are not given homework, regularly top
international educational league tables and outperform nations where setting
homework is the norm. Secondly, many parents would agree that the school day
is already long enough, and leaves their children too tired to do further study
when they return home. Finally, it is recognised that play time is just as
beneficial as study time from the perspective of brain development.
In spite of the above arguments, I support the view that homework has an
important role to play in the schooling of children. The main benefit of
homework is that it encourages independent learning and problem solving, as
children are challenged to work through tasks alone and at their own pace. In
doing so, students must apply the knowledge that they have learnt in the
classroom. For example, by doing mathematics exercises at home, students
consolidate their understanding of the concepts taught by their teacher at
school. In my view, it is important for children to develop an independent study
habit because this prepares them to work alone as adults.
In conclusion, homework certainly has its drawbacks, but I believe that the
benefits outweigh them in the long term.
