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.
What do you think? We received this question via twitter today!

I would like to tell one of my teachers when I was a kid. She use to give homework for all students. But she give light homework such as filling the blanks, True or false, reading paragraph, etc. but all of the homework could be done in a few minutes.
She use to give more homework for weekends. She use to recall the previous lesson on every Monday. So all student need to review the lessons. She use to make a rivalry for all group which include 6 students. It was very funny and all students willing to percitipate.
Now a day, teacher like this one is very rare and also the students who really want to do like that.
Students is responsible for doing homework. Teacher is responsible for choosing and using any method to give homework....
Yes, definitely. Homework assignments are important to students since most of them are free after school.
They definitely need to review what you have learned in their schools daily. In other words, doing their homework is an effective way to review their new lessons. =)
Giving homework is good for every student! I am in favor of teachers who assign homework.
Thank you them so much!

I am in favor of your view. =)
Students must review in order to store their new lessons in their long-term memory. =)
Hello Duan.
I take objection to your remark.
How can students do their homework if they did not learn new lessons from their teachers at the beginning? Heh.
Teachers should push their students to review what they have learned in order to achieve deep learning. =)
I am in favor of you. Good teachers should always assign useful homework to their students. They should be motivated by what they have assigned to their students. However, bad teachers do not care about their students, so they feel unmotivated to check their indifferent students' schoolwork. =)
It depends on the students,if they control it very well and understand it totally in a class,there is no need to assign the homework,if they can't know it very well,you can give the students some homework to understand it well and review it,but preview is the point.
Good idea!
But how do teachers know whether or not those students know how to do the homework assignment without completing it at the first place? Heh.
The reality is nearly everyone focuses on proof instead of opinions, assumptions, etc. =)
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 !
