My theory is that homework is beneficial in some situations but can hurt more than help in other cases. Students can be overwhelmed by staggering amounts of homework at once. Schools are not the same everywhere but getting homework from four classes can put serious stress in the back of a students mind. The problem is the teachers give a little too much homework with no regards for students that have plans or task to do that’s more important. Once they get back to school they recieve a failing grade when they did not have time to properly complete it. The solution that I have come to is to have teachers plan with the other teachers about scheduling what days they give homework. The second part of the solution is to not give homework to students that know the unit really well, or to students that are struggling a lot because they won’t recieve more help at home.
