Homework has been a controversial topic for many years.

While some argue that it helps students to


reinforce their learning and develop important skills, others believe that it has a negative impact on
students' mental health and overall well-being. In this article, we will explore some of the arguments
against homework.

Homework can cause stress and anxiety.With the increasing workload and pressure to
perform well in school, students are already under a lot of stress. Adding homework on top
of that can lead to anxiety and even depression. It also takes away valuable time that could
be spent on other activities that are important for a student's development, such as sports,
hobbies, and spending time with family and friends.
Homework can lead to a lack of sleep. Many students struggle to complete their homework
on time, which often leads to staying up late at night. This can have a negative impact on
their sleep patterns and can result in fatigue, lack of concentration, and poor performance in
school.
Homework can be overwhelming and demotivating. Students are often bombarded with
multiple assignments and projects to complete within a short period of time. This can be
overwhelming and demotivating, especially for students who struggle with certain subjects.
It can also lead to a lack of interest in learning and a negative attitude towards school.
Homework may not always be effective in promoting learning. While homework is meant
to reinforce learning, it may not always achieve that goal. Students may simply rush through
their homework to get it done, without actually understanding the material. This can lead to a
false sense of accomplishment and hinder their learning in the long run.

Considering these arguments against homework, it is important to find a balance between school
work and other aspects of a student's life. If you find yourself struggling with overwhelming
amounts of homework, you may want to consider seeking help from a professional. HelpWriting.net

Little brother Jakey try to roast me? (what?) One public school in Barrie even noticed that grades
went up after homework was banned. Thirdly, homework can cause conflict between children and
parents when the parent wants to the child to do their homework but meets resistance from the
student to do an overwhelming task. Too much homework can encourage cheating because children
end up copying off one another in an attempt to finish all their assignments. Arguments against
homework are becoming louder and more popular, as evidenced by several recent books as well as
an editorial in Time magazine (Wallis, 2006) that presented these arguments as truth without much
discussion of alternative perspectives. At the same time, a number of studies have provided growing
evidence of the usefulness of homework when employed effectively. Homework creates an extra
burden on us as parents. With five children, and a range of responsibilities and activities we are
already engaged in, this is one thing we believe is dispensable. Homework creates family conflict.

Essay On Homework Late nights, eyes only kept open by ungodly amounts of coffee, and never
ending piles of paper: these are all symptoms of the nation–sweeping homework epidemic. Students
are assigned hours upon hours of after school homework every day – but is it really necessary?
Oftentimes, homework causes more harm than good on the mental, physical, and social health of
students; therefore, after school assignments should be limited to the four core classes, minimizing
those loads as much as possible, because more homework does not necessarily lead to highly
successful students, immense amounts of stress are put on students every day, and an eight hour
school day should be enough to disseminate the information needed. While some teachers believe
that nightly homework is imperative to student achievement, data shows that homework at any level,
from grade school to high school, does not equal success. Many East Asian countries, including
Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan had lower average rates of homework, yet ranked very highly in
math. While math homework is usually intended to practice the material learned in class that day,
excessive repetition of the same equations will not make the information stick any more than a few
practice problems. As stated by Ty Conner, "...children... are learning this material in order to
complete their homework, which is in turn preparing them for a test, and after that test, the
information... isn't reviewed afterwards". Additionally, high homework rates are Get more content on

Argument Against Homework Preamble When in the course of human events it becomes necessary
to declare ourselves independent from completely unnecessary and excessive homework. We as a
student body of Anaheim High School believe that it is very necessary to rid ourselves from
excessive amounts of homework and also the stress, sleepless nights and makeup work that comes
with it. Declaration of Student Rights We hold these truths to be self–explanatory as we as a student
body have the right to attend school and not have a dominant fear of being overwhelmed with the
homework assigned. We have the right to not be symbolically buried in a pile of past due homework
and playing catch up for even half decent grades. We have the right to achieve outstanding grades
without being harassed by unreasonable amounts of assignments that are to be taken home. We also
have the right to know when or be informed of our slipping or increasing grades periodically
throughout the hour or at the end of the day. Having these homework assignments on the weekend
should never occur while in the course of a school year. List of Grievances The following
demonstrations of the student body should now be observed for their...show more content... We have
complained and suffered for many generations and we now believe that a world without homework
is a world without suffering. We now declare our Independence from homework. Homework should
be completely eradicated from the student life. This would result higher in grades for some people,
as they normally would not do their homework whether it was banned or not. To accomplish this
task, a law would be passed which will ban homework in all schools or bring homework to a
maximum of thrice per week. Our demands will be me. Our homework will be less frequent. We will

HelpWriting.net For a little historical context, harken back to an anti-homework argument in the
1920s. Back then, physicians in the U.S. worried that homework might damage children's health.
Doctors believed – I'm not joking here – that children needed six to seven hours a day of fresh air
and sunshine, as Etta Kralovec, author of The End of Homework, has pointed out. What's it like

you referring to kids in K-8 or high school and beyond? I just find Alfie Kohn’s research to be reason
enough to question the tradition of homework. I don’t believe in doing something just because it’s
always been done that way. That is dangerous thinking. Now you got a few subscribers, and you
think that you’re the shit I went into teaching because I wanted to coach. I love working with kids
and I love helping them become successful. (My idea of “successful” has nothing to do with grades).

teach kids time management responsibilities is a good thing. That doesn’t mean they have to be
mind-numbing projects that are dead boring. Love it or hate it, homework DOES have some positive
advantages: You don’t know what you’ve done 2. Argumentative Essay Homework Many students
in school struggle to complete piles of homework assigned to them each night. Some wonder if
homework is really critical to learning, and many wish homework wouldn't exist at all. These people
argue that homework is overwhelming and it takes away most of their free time at home and is just
"busy work". While some people may feel this way, I personally believe that homework is a key point
of learning because it teaches time management and helps solidify what was learned during the day.
Homework was first introduced to American schools around 1940, During this time, many students
were not as invested in getting good grades. This was because there were other things that interested
students; like farming or serving in the military. At that time, there were many valued occupations
that didn't require rigorous education, and with WWII going on many had their minds elsewhere.
Colleges were much easier to get into because there was less competition for spots. Because of that,
working hard at school wasn't as necessary as it is now since good grades didn't pave the road to
success like it does today. Since students didn't try as hard and weren't as focused, of much the
information they learned during the day was quickly forgotten. Teachers, who realized this, decided
to develop a strategy to force students to recall what they learned throughout the day; They decided
to force students to do take home work to retain information better. Over the years children started
Get more content on HelpWriting.net Age: +12 Don’t you think if you do your homework regularly,
you need to spend less time studying on the day before the examination? Homework aids students in
preparing for their term exams without them knowing it. Learning happens through practice and
when students write their homework regularly, in essence, they are eventually learning and
participating in their final exams. It may be true that homework is a “crutch” and I wholeheartedly
agree that practicing skills incorrectly can be detrimental. I am against homework all the
way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 19. Pros And Cons Of Homework Essay Does homework really help or does it not
help? Research shows, homework does not help students, parents, or teachers. Some people may
think it does help, but from research it proves that homework does not help. One reason why it does
that is because it is bad for health. Then, another reason why it doesn't help students, parents, or
teachers is because it is not beneficial. To begin with, one reason why homework doesnt help
students, parents, or teachers is because it is bad for health. One reason why it is bad for health is
because it causes anxiety/stress. Too much homework can damage students health by making anxiety
and stress, according to thecaseforandagainsthomework.com. Another reason why anxiety and stress
is bad for you is because you have so much stress you go really fast on your homework and you do
really bad. I have had that happen to me and it is not good. If that always happens then that could
really affect your grade .Then, the last reason why anxiety and stress is bad is because, anxiety and
stress is a mental thing and if you keep on having it it could damage your brain, according to the
website sciencedaily.com . Having your anxiety and stress damage your brain over homework is just
crazy. Another reason why homework is bad for health is because you can have anger. Having anger
when you are doing homework is not good. For instance, one thing about having anger during
homework is that some people can get really mad because they donВґt know how to do their Get

Homework Argumentative Essay Jason is an eighth grade student at Betty White Junior High. Jason
has been having a lot of issues having some of his own time. Why you may ask? Well, he has been
getting slammed with homework and has no time for anything over the weekend. Jason has also been
staying up very late to complete his work. He was on the basketball team but had to quit due to the
homework that has been given and his lack of time. Jason has felt that all this homework has been
causing so much stress that he is starting to slowly fall behind which will lead him to failure.
Students should not be assigned homework. Homework decreases the time you have for extra
curricular activities. Homework prevents more sleeping time and homework is the leading cause of
stress. As it should be known students should not be assigned homework. Homework decreases the
time students have for extra curricular activities. Students should have enough time to still be able to
participate in after school activities. Learning from this we can understand homework is a long
activity that is partly pointless. Coming from this we know homework is starting to cut into the
students sports and clubs which is making students not have some of their own time to do what they
like. Students should always every single day have some of their own time....show more content...
Homework is proven to be slowly cutting into students time leaving them less time to sleep which is
becoming a bigger and bigger issue. According to National Sleep foundation going from ages 13 to
17 students should be getting at least eight hours of sleep but only 15% of students are actually
getting that amount of sleep. Homework should not be assigned due to it cutting into students
sleeping time. This part of the issue is very major because sleep is something that gives humans
energy and it also is a time for the mind to relax so that the next day the student can be fully Get

BIGGEST frustration is that no matter what I do, there are always several families who just don't

huge waste. Why spend my planning time or after-school time preparing, organizing, and copying
homework activities that are never going to be looked at?! Is that your boy’s cologne? Worksheets

AM 14. Thesis Statement Against Homework The Case Against Homework: Homework/it is "All
pain and no gain" There is very very little, if any, correlation between homework and test scores Not
a single study has ever supported the folk wisdom that homework teaches good study habits and
self–discipline. Most of homework is assigned as busywork to keep kids busy, assuming that they
will waste their time. A lot of teachers feel pressured to assign homework by tradition,
administrators, and/or parents. Most of the folk wisdom that homework is good and helps your
academic achievement, test scores, responsibility, study habits, and to connect with your family has
either been proven wrong, the opposite, or has not been proven at all. Homework only allows kids to
grow academically, because it takes up so much time to do, they don't have time to do anything other

around the world say homework should be banned. Homework can cause stress, teachers help,
Parents can't help. NO HOMEWORK, NO HOMEWORK!!!!!!! No, I think kids shouldn't have
homework. It causes stress for students. When I do homework it causes me to have stress, so how
would little kid's feel about homework does it cause them stress? Sometimes homework is hard but
the homework amount we have know is fine for me. Some of my homework is fun like we can have

think it pretty well represents the position of the anti-homework folks. My issue is that I think the
way you state it is a bit extreme. Let’s not confuse adults who are “the bosses” with adults who are
bullies and too authoritative. The fact is that good parents and teachers have been collaborating with
kids to decide on the rules, the guidelines, the way to incorporate kids’ interests in the classroom,
and the way that kids spend their “free” time at home. But parents’ and teachers’ jobs are still to be
parents and teachers. And it’s still their job to guide and grow kids into productive, responsible
citizens. I think it’s crazy to suggest that being a curious kid and being a kid who does his homework
and complies are mutually exclusive. It’s just way too black and white. Erin 1. By Sophie Ciurlionis

children go to school from 8:10–3:10 that is seven hours a day of non–freedom. We are told what to

homework.Kids should be able to relax and spend time with family. When typed in google, claims

believed homework first began in ancient roman times." Furthermore homework started out as simple
memorization just to keep the mind disciplined, but slowly became more complex and stressful to the
students
as it became worth more of a grade and more difficult. Talking about everything is our strong suit so
with a problem as big as homework, why haven't we discussed it? It needs to be talked about and
discussed in depth looking at all the pros and cons of it. "Have you ever heard a speaker or attended
a
workshop wherein the negative effects of homework were highlighted or noted? (Yes = 0 No =
247)" (Gale Group, 17). Those 247 teachers were from different schools in that survey. Teachers are
oblivious to what they're doing to students. No one has talked about what they are assigning, why
they assign it, if they don't assign homework; then how their test scores compare to others of the
same subject. Furthermore all teachers say that homework helps their students comprehend and
learn. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that not one of them has released any facts stating that
homework
is
actually helping their students over other teachers with less homework. "There is no evidence that
any amount of homework improves the academic performance of elementary–school students"
(Scholar Cooper, 5). Maybe If they talk about homework, then they may be able to come up with
facts or percentages; Get more content on HelpWriting.net Students are often exhausted after writing
molds of homework because of the long hours of classes in school, children need time to ease their
minds and relax for some time but this is not possible as they have the pressure of completing their
homework. This can lead to them overworked and not concentrating on the quality of the produce.
The lack of time also means that they are left with no time to socialize. Too much homework
prevents students to spend their time with friends and families, and also extra-curricular activities
are
a
big no-no. These factors (socialize, reading, playing, etc.) are a big part of the development of a

Essay
Students spend hours doing it, teachers spend hours checking it. Homework is sometimes a burden
to
teachers and students but still it is necessary. Some people doubt homework's effectiveness, but
teachers and researchers agree homework is essential. Homework helps students get better grades in
school. Some people don't know exactly what homework is. Homework is defined as an out of class
activity assigned to students as an extension or elaboration of classroom work(KidSource). There are
three types of homework teachers generally give out. The first is Practice assignments, they are
assignments that reinforce newly acquired skills or knowledge(KidSource). An example of these
assignments is writing definitions down for new words ...show more content... Parents, students, and
teachers all sometimes wonder how useful is homework? Though studies examining the relationship
between homework and school achievement have been inclusive(ERIC). Still many teachers and
researchers still agree that homework helps students achieve higher grades in school. Schools that
assigned
homework
frequently showed higher student achievement than schools that assigned little homework(ERIC).
This means that homework is working. Studies have generally found that if teachers carefully plan
homework, homework can be quite helpful(KidSource). Homework has proven its effectiveness and
is
a
very powerful factor in student performance. Students should only spend enough time on homework
so that the subject is reinforced and not just a waste of time. The national PTA suggest that from
K–3 grades there should be no more than 20 minutes a day, for 4–6 grades there should be 20–40
minutes of homework, and from 7–12 grades time varies do to types of subjects and number of
subjects taken(KidSource). Anymore than these recommended amount of times is seen excessive by
the
national PTA. Surprisingly U.S. students are working as hard as Asians: 24% of eighth graders do
more then two hour of homework compared to Japans 28% and Germanys 17%(Brimelow108). Are
