Homework

Alright, now here I shall refute all your arguements. I still imply the fact that you cannot really see whether or not homework helps a student. It can be easily made so you get a group of smart kids and not make them do homework, but since they would study on their own, their tests grades wouldn't drop. How can a child not understand a homework problem? The teacher certainly would have taught them how to do a problem. If they cannot understand it, thirty minutes with a parent, a sibling, or researching on the computer would CERTAINLY do the trick! Many kids, when they see a seemingly difficult problem, tend to say the famous cliche "I don't get it" and not really put any effort. Homework SHOULDN'T create stress! As I said before, if you have a little pride, then you should be able to do what a hundred other kids are doing! Sometimes, homework does create stress, such as a huge project worth a lot of their grade. In a way, that stress is GOOD, since they are learning how to cope with large amounts of stress, and are GETTING READY FOR THEIR ADULTHOOD WHEN THEY WILL FACE MANY MORE CHALLENGES. If a child complains about a small homework assignment in high school, then he or she will also act that way when they have a job. As a child, you learn that you should do your work, and if you don't, there are consequences involved. At the age of 13 it's getting a C. At the age of 30 however, it means losing your job and living out in the streets. You also say that because of irresponsible parents, their grade will fall behind, and it isn't fair. EXACTLY! That's EXACTLY the reason why we should have homework! It's like another parent who's giving you work! You imply the fact that teachers teach because they want to and if they don't like it, they can get a job. It's not necessarily so. Some of the time, it's because it's the highest paying job they can get, or it's the only available job that is better than working at a fast food restraunt. You refute that smart countries do not have a lot of homework. But it is because they have EVOLVED. Once again, I shall be using South Korea as an example. It is the year 1953. The aftermaths of the Korean war is on everybody's minds. THe country is in total disruption. So how is it that in 50 years, South Korea not only rebuilt itself, but is now one of the strongest countries in the world??? It was because of the children. They studied and studied, studied themselves into a good college, studied themselves into a job, and studied themselves into a brighter future. Homework was a key role during that process. But now, THEY HAVE EVOLVED INTO A STATE WHERE HOMEWORK ISN'T NEEDED ANYMORE. Why would they, when they have such smart parents who teach them better than the teachers? We aren't in that state yet, and until the government doesn't even need school, because the parents are so good in raising their children, we must rely on HOMEWORK. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TO ALL THE VOTERS OUT THERE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please choose pro, as this can be as a matter of value. The con's websites contradicts him/herself, as it recommends that a small amount of homework is good for children, WHICH IS TRUE. YOU MUST REALIZE WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT! Is it a little stress on behalf the children, or is it a BETTER FUTURE FOR THEM? Think of all the time you spent at school! Please think of the projects you did and what you LEARNED through the stress, and the feeling of ACCOMPLISHMENT as you got an A! The stress you dealt with certainly helped you mature, has it not? As an old Asian proveb, good medicene is bitter. The medicine is the homework, (although in America, homework doesn't cause a lot of stress), but the result is a good job, car, and a house! Please choose pro.
