How do you feel about homework? Do you think teachers should give homework every night? Should elementary school children have homework? In some countries, parents are trying to ban homework. Many parents think children should have the freedom to explore, discover, and read for pleasure after school. Some teachers agree. Other people think reviewing lessons after school is an important stage of learning and preparing kids for the workforce.

Homework is the best way to create ability to revise lesson daily .If Teacher Dose not give homework kids like that teacher but they do not give time to study except few kids. As per my opinion homework is must in initial level but give less homework not too much.
Also teacher can give lots of homwork bt majority of them be optional! It can be like a game,students do those whose like more!
Yes, they should....
I'm a student now (hihihi...just student on EC). But when I see some new words or new lessons. I try my best to practice them. It's a good way for remembering.
i think giving homework for learners is necessary for mNY REAsons:
it helps them to study at home and reinforce their information.
it helps them to prasctise some language skills [writing[.
it is akind of auto-learning.
I think that Homework is very necessary for student to practice and one more do home work it show that how many percentages that they learn from the lesson.
Kids not only learn the lessons, but more than that, they learn how to liive in their social, in their home, how to be a good one
I think reviwing lessons after school is necessary , and the homework is important but not everyday ..
I like to give my students a kind of homework which shows their creativity and reflects their own thoughts :
Paragraphs ,words in sentences , pick the moral lessons from stories ...etc.
That means they have to write their own words not only copying the answers from the lessons .I think this kind of homework is more helpful in the learning process . Other activities should be done at school with the help of the teacher .
Thank you !
Most people may take it for granted that school children should have homework. More and more people here in China have recognized that the children are being given too much homework, but, do the children have a choice?
I think that homework assignments are need for getting knowledge and remember things, but as many people here had said, it must be a balance. However I don´t recommend to let students without homework...
I think to do homework is good because if I don't do any homework, I won't even open my books. Thus, it's good to have it, but in a balanced quantity I guess. I remember when I was in elementary school or high school, I had so many homework that I couldn't finish them at all and therefore, I was constantly under so many stress that I couldn't enjoy my time at all. That is why I don't like elementary or high schools at all. I got also punished for not finishing them, which affected me mentally too, because I was a good student. The homework was too much that I couldn't finish them. Anyway, I think schools should be in a way that they teach us important things, things that we need for real life like how to be organized or to sum up, how to be consciousnesses. In addition to that, they should attract students to "learning" and "gaining" knowledge not to hating it. Thus, balance is a key. Doing too much homework or not doing it at all is not good.
