Should Kids Have Homework? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Michael [hXc] · 04-24-2004, 07:38 AM

Do you think kids should have to have homework? Sometimes I think when a kid comes home from school, they should have time to have fun, not have something else to worry about. Sometimes I think yes, it really benefits students. But I am picking NO, since a lot of the homework teachers give out today is just busywork and really won't increase our knowledge or benefit us, just something to do.

I am 2 sided on this issue. Yes and No.
I do not think teachers should ever give homework on weekends.
I think they deserve that time to off with their families.
I do not think they should give more than 2 hours a night.
I do think they should give homework because if they did not
students might become ignorant. Then they would be behind.

I think math and science classes should have homework. Classes like that are usually harder and it depends a lot on the student to be able to understand what they're doing, and homework problems helps them to work out what they're trying to learn.

Yes -- we definitely need homework. I read somewhere that the US gives the LEAST amount of homework -- the other countries have it worse, because they work their kids harder.

Now that I am an adult, I see the light. You don't like it -- suck it up. The teachers assign homework for a reason: to practice what you know and what they just went over in class that day.

As much as I hate homework, and have avoided doing homework most of my life, yes we need it. The last things we need are lazier kids.

We should consider ourselves lucky we don't live in, say, Japan, China or England. They're a lot more tougher there.

And we may not remember the material 5 years from now, BUT it will make us well-educated.

They need the homework. If they don't get it, they're gonna have a big awakenig when they get to high school and college.

G-Force Glockstar · 04-24-2004, 03:23 PM

Just depens.
Like if the teacher is just teaching a little something, then they should not give out any homework.
But if like tomorrow the kids are having a big test, then yes, they should have homework so they can study to get a good grade.

You don't have to be an adult to see the light. I've seen it since 7th grade...we need to do homework so that we understand what we're doing. I think that doing homework is important if we want to learn.

Too much is bad, though. Although I've never spent more than an hour on an assignment, unless it was writing an essay, which I've gotten down to a half hour now. haha...This is what we actually learn in doing homework. Short cuts.

Brent88 · 04-24-2004, 03:54 PM

I agree. Too much homework is bad. Some people in my old school used to have 2-3 hours of homework a night. That's outrageous. Most of the people were also in band, or on the football/basketball team(etc), so they also had that to do, and people wonder why Kids don't get enough sleep.

FamilyTiesGOP · 04-24-2004, 04:06 PM

Yes, all kids should have homework. I'm in college and I still have to do a lot of stuff outside of class. It is just a part and obligation of going to school. Kids are failing standardized tests now, how bad would it be with no homework?

Sometimes my work seems dumb though especially writing stupid papers about stupid stuff. Like I am currently writing a 10 page Marketing paper that will be half my grade. Well I hate marketing, so I hate this assignment. But when I do my Accounting work, I usually do better because I like that more and appreciate the value of it more.

lol wow coming from a high school junior, of course i hate homework but it has its good points because sometimes kids need more work on a subject like math to study

Hollow · 04-24-2004, 04:17 PM
