We need to get rid of homework

Proof: http://www.findingdulcinea.com... A study has been show to state that homework does not increase student percentile of passing there test. Basically to break it down test score in the NYC are remained flat and has been dropping each time during a new benchmark exam and children have been getting homework each grade and the homework increases. Homework increasing =/= Passing most of your test Just to say practicing does not always make perfect. Another study has been also shown that students who don't do their homework get the same average grade as most of the children who do most of their homework. Here is an example and this is a real example When I was at school my friends were talking about report cards and what was their average. One kid in my class basically doesn't do his homework all the time and later on he got a 80.00% for his average. There is another girl in my class she has never missed a day of homework and her average was lower then the kid I mentioned with a 80.00% ratio. So basically homework does not improve your test it has been proven that homework is a chore for students 'There are also wide variety of useful skills that can come out of doing homework, such as time management, improving study habits, reviewing material, more opportunities to improve grades, etc.' Your response ^^^^ Like I said homework does not improve your grade. Its how you were born and how you study. I can just do a full fledge worksheet and I still remain the same smartness I am. I will give you another real life example. I barely do any of my ELA homework. And my grade improved. So just doing homework wouldn't teach children how to improve their test score. Later on your talking about time management. About most children in USA stay up through out all night doing most of their homework Time management ' managing your time in a efficient way' That's a definition and like stated about most children in USA stay up to do homework. Why do you think during the state test teachers basically don't give homework because they want you to get a good night rest '2) From a teacher's perspective, it allows the teacher to evaluate how their students are performing in class. This allows the teacher to see who understands the material, and who needs more help. This is especially crucial during lesson planning; there is no point moving onto new material if a teacher discovers that 90% of the class did not understand what happened previously.' That is the reason we have pre- exams and ready- exams to see what children need help on. You don't need homework to see how the well the teacher thinks your doing. The problem with homework 1) Teacher give a highly amount of homework that children have to stay up to do some children attend after school and it wouldn't be fair for them to have 6 homework's because they would have to stay all night doing it. Also they will not get a good night rest. Children who do not get a good rest do not perform well in school. It has been proven by studies 2) It gets in the way of family time. Some children want to spend time with their parents on the weekend. Basically they would not want to go to someone's house and sit there doing homework. Would you like it if you had three projects and later on you spend three full days doing it and you cant spend time with family on the weekend/? I bet you would say no. But family time is very important 3) Children do not have the correct device Lets say you did not know you had a typed up writing assiment to do and when you finished typing and you did not know there was no ink. What are you going to do? I bet you would say go to a library. What if your in after school and you came back at five o'clock. And your library closed at 5:00. Where is your time to print? Of course no answer. And everyone does not have a computer. And computers are expensive. Well that's my argument your turn pro I cant wait to hear your argument
