Mary : Wow! Jacob . How did you manage to score such high marks? Jacob : Well , Hardwork is the key to success but I will say that homework have helped me a lot for the exams. Mary : Homework ? Are you serious ? Jacob : Yes , my friend. Homework has helped me to revise the lessons taught in class and also find out my difficulties and doubts. As you know practice makes a man perfect and homework has given me that practice. Mary : I never thought homework was so useful . anyways thanks for telling me . now even I will do my homework regularly. This is how homework can benefit us! Should homework be abolished? It is very easy to answer yes' to the above question, especially when one is loaded with homework up to the neck. However I will not say that homework should be abolished. It is useful in many ways, I will say that homework should be given discreetly.
School without homework is not an image I can fathom. There are many reasons homework should not be abolished as it is beneficial towards the student, allows the teacher to acknowledge the student's weaknesses; in turn giving them an opportunity to improve and acquire new skills. Also, taking time each night to do homework is a chance for students to catch up on missed class and further reinforces the day's lessons so it is permanently etched in the student's mind where the information is stored and used when called upon.
Several studies have proven that homework, in fact, does improve the stability of the student in school; this strengthens the statement that time spent completing homework is time well spent. Rather than giving students another hour of leisure time, doing homework entitles the student to an hour of enriched education; this can greatly benefit the student, as consistently finishing homework will reap great rewards such as a favourable test score or report card. Why are we posing such a ludicrous question about the possible abolishment of homework if doing homework is what it takes to succeed in school? It is a common emotion to students regarding the distaste of homework, but legions of teachers know better because they recognize the importance of homework in the success of students in school and outside of school.
Not only does home work accomplishment benefit the student, it also benefits the teacher as well. Teachers receive the opportunity to see at what stage the student is by assigning homework. Furthermore, the teacher can identify the weaknesses of the student so they can ameliorate their study habits in hopes of pulling their grades up. On the other hand, if teachers were to abandon the idea of homework altogether, they would have to base the majority of the student's mark on tests alone. However, students fare much better in the homework column than the test column; otherwise, their marks would be lower than they currently are....

See article "Faculties Not Gifts" on the Scottish Autism Services Network website.Homework wrecked all my educational chances and very close to killed me. I was set unsurvivable undoable quantities with nobody willing to believe this was the case, after the teachers had decided my abilities were higher than they were. This was an utter abuse of my life. It caused a fearsome crisis where I had to go into catatonic trances and even in them fear whether they would be accepted as real.In the impossible fear trap involved in facing discipline and potential labelling as in defiance of authority and to be stuck in a room with the headmaster screaming over me, when I could not do the work he believed I could do, there was no adult to turn to, they had all been brainwashed to believe I was as clever as this nutter fantasised of, and any confided fears risked getting confided straight on to the school. Homework also destroyed my chance to make it as a child author.If anyone in the whole world ever needs absolute proof that homework is a life-threatening child abuse and a crime against humanity, my story is it. This has been the case for more than the whole present school, population's lifetimes, for these things happened near 30 years ago. In Wales. Naturally, stories like mine are systematically excluded from the news coverage of education policy and from publishing. Education politics, systematically, refers often to pressure load upon teachers and never to pressure load upon abused enslaved kids. When the whole political scene agrees so, an issue can be airbrushed out of public awareness, made a non-issue, we have no safeguards of participative democracy against that happening.Maurice
