Homework should be banned

Homework is not meant to be in direct relation with tests" Not, it has not a direct relation with tests, but the study for which I was talking about, (International Comparison) was not specifically finding a relation between tests and students, the relation was between learning and students and that was proved in tests, so it discovered that students have not improved with homework, so that is a sample that shows that homework should be banned. "It's very helpful if students have done extra work based on these topics to give fuller and better answers" Students can have a day to review the topics seen in school before the exam with help of worksheets. House is not the correct place to work "This is not too much as to restrict social life or hobbies" Studies have shown that students have shown that homework restricts family time, not only for students, also for parents being worried for helping their kids to complete their homework. There is a story of a girl called Anna. She usually takes a break of just 30 minutes and finishes her homework at 10:30pm. Anna's mother affirms that her daughter's initiative of learning is reducing, principally because of homework. As you can see, Anna's social and familiar time is restricted with homework. I am going to stablish my case as an example: I study in the British International School of Barranquilla and have once per week to stay doing homework until 1am, because even if there are not a lot of homework, they are long and I have to change my uniform, take my lunch (in my school there is not lunch) and then eat dinner. If it is just hard for me to accommodate my schedule for eating the two essential food and do homework, how do you think that I can balance it with social life? One day, I cancel a party just because of homework and this is an example of restricted social life Also, a psicologist says that 90% the students who speak with her, are suffering from grading stress because of homework. Andrew Self says: "Nothing aggravates me more as a high school student than being loaded down with homework over the weekend. The one time a week we have away from school and we donR17;t even get to enjoy it because we are stressing out over homework thatR17;s due on Monday" November 20th, 2006 at 1:02 am "That's obvious. Most students find school itself to be a "boring and tired" activity, doesn't mean we should ban school" Yes, I know, students find school bored, but one of its causes it homework. In the case of Anna, the girl named below, she says that a way to really learn is schools banning homework, because as I said, house is not for working, that is the reason why school exists, so I think that students find boring, stressful and tiring doing homework and stress affects their mind, so homework should be banned. "Searching with the Internet isn't cheating" For some homework, it is cheating, because sometimes the teacher orders students to the homework without using Google or any help. You are contradicting your argument that says that the idea of homework is learning because if students search their homework with Internet, they are not learning, they are making Internet do the homework for them. "Besides, claiming homework is easy because you can cheat contradicts your argument - if it's easy to just Google the answers then why is it taking up so much of your social life? " My idea is to ban homework, so this will not happen without it. I am not contradicting my argument because I so kids need to have time for social life, but not with the help of cheating. Some times Internet is not faster because wifi don't work. Other times it is not faster because kids don't find the answers for their homework. " If anything it helps that student because then they can Google the subject/read a textbook and learn for themselves" Students can read their textbook and Google articles many times and still don't understand. Many teachers say "if it is not clear for everyone, the exam will not take place" with homework, if students don't understand very well the topic, they can loose their self-esteem, because they will feel that they are not good at learning and they don't have a good education, as they find the homework as something hard to do. And here, how are they learning? Researches have shown that students some times receive more amount of homework than what experts recommend and get health problems. The most recent study to examine the issue found that kids in early elementary school received about three times the amount of recommended homework, so students work 2 or 3 hours per night when the right amount of homework is given, but in the actual situation no. And also, 2 hours take the time of students. Homework is slavery, how is it possible that after a day of school, when students are tired, teachers force students to work at home? It is very bad idea to force kids with homework because still in home they have to worry about school and it is suppose that after school students can rest, but working at home is still working so there is no way of forgetting about school. There are also cases of many students that because there is a lot of homework, the only topic of conversation that they have is school, even in vacations, this can bother other people and also is bad for students, because their brain is closed in studying and as I said, students are not having social life Homework should be banned!
