I Hate Homework. I Assign It Anyway.

When I was a student, I disliked doing my homework, I do not like the second grade war, I did not want to see the middle school's son missing in my childhood afternoon.

But, above all, I do not like being a hypocrite. So it is time to clean up. I am a teacher, I have assigned assignments.

I always assign an assignment - it is what the teacher is doing; otherwise, I am a hypocritical vocabulary or my students do not care too much about each occurring moment say. Scholars interact. When I first started teaching, I was able to assign homework definitely and I mocked the students' dissatisfaction about their workload. I hope that they will keep silence, stick to it, let me work for myself.

But 13 years later, I was at a crossroads. My son Ben is a junior high school student, and homework is no longer an abstract concept. You can not assign it and forget it. I will no longer sacrifice my student's rights as a child.

I doubt the value of homework is not the only parent or teacher about that. This is the subject of intense discussion at school meetings across the country and Internet chat rooms. Even an excellent private school in New York pledges to relax homework.

In 2006, a popular media storm about homework occurred, and two books on this issue were published. Alfie Kohn's "Homework Myths", Sarah Bennett and Nancy Kalish's "Counting Against Against Homework", a magazine's myth about the homework of the subsequent era Claudia Wallis. Last year, Vicki Abeles documentary film "Race to Nowhere" joined the fight. In her movie, Ms. Abeles insists that the burden of today's amazing and ever-increasing homework drives cheating, psychosis, and suicide.

Is homework worth it? I went directly to the source. I asked my students whether homework can be accomplished if they completely disappeared. The answer is the same - if you are not happy - "No"

Most people responded to my son's view: "If I do not do my homework, I think I'm not doing well, this is the way we learned at school." But they all I emphasized that it is mere homework. . "Oops" homework - busy work and work do nothing but to eat precious nights. "(As one of the more self-righteous students of mine said)" I am wasting my time silly. "

It is very fair. If my students feel that quality homework is worth the effort, I will keep it. There is one thing to note. All assignments must pass the "Ben" test. If homework is not worth my son's time, I will throw it away. According to a brief review of my homework last year, about a quarter of my homework will not be cut off.

Children need time to quiet, play, read and imagine. Teachers who are not the most valuable homework but are sacrificing important elements of childhood are abandoned to teach students their responsibilities and occupations.

In other words, children may feel tired and bored by doing their homework day and night. Jessica Lei, "I hate homework, I assign it anyway," she said. 1 page) Such a choice affects the whole of their life so children should not consider such a thing. With this, they can do anything and complete the assignment. Children have a lot of stress when handling their homework.

Homework is one of the things I dislike most students. Either way, students are exposed to great pressure, but due to lack of information and time, these challenges make it difficult for teachers to meet the standards they expect. So far, it is most difficult to achieve the task of mechanical engineering. Engineering helps you to test and develop the learner's various skills. The teacher puts pressure on the students to make the students better, but can not understand and finally the teacher begins to dislike this problem for several reasons. Some of the main reasons for engineering tasks annoying to students are as follows.

What does adult mean? That was a question I asked before my therapist left the town. I think this is a task. I do not like to handle homework. I thought that he was trying to select a treatment that did not require homework. But I would like to give myself something to do something when he leaves. If I wonder if I should intentionally think about this problem in rebellious behavior, when I was sitting here, "You need to try it, I know. Hello. Can not I just cure and heal like a magic?
