Homework has been a part of the education system for as long as we can remember.

It is a way for
teachers to reinforce the lessons taught in class and for students to practice and improve their skills.
However, as much as it is meant to be beneficial, homework can also have a negative impact on a
student's desire to learn.

The Never-Ending Cycle


One of the main reasons why homework can kill the desire to learn is the never-ending cycle of
assignments. Students are bombarded with piles of homework from different subjects every day,
leaving them with little time for anything else. This can lead to burnout and a lack of motivation to
learn. With the constant pressure to complete assignments, students may start to view learning as a
chore rather than something enjoyable.

Limiting Creativity
Homework often comes with strict guidelines and specific instructions, leaving little room for
creativity. This can be especially frustrating for students who thrive on expressing themselves and
thinking outside the box. As a result, homework can stifle a student's creativity and make them feel
like they are just going through the motions rather than truly learning and exploring new ideas.

One-Size-Fits-All Approach
Another issue with homework is that it follows a one-size-fits-all approach. Teachers assign the same
homework to every student in the class, regardless of their individual learning styles or abilities. This
can be demotivating for students who may struggle with certain topics or find the assignments too
easy. It can also lead to a lack of engagement and interest in the subject, as students may feel like
their unique needs are not being considered.

In conclusion, while homework may have good intentions, it can also have a negative impact on a
student's desire to learn. The constant pressure, lack of creativity, and one-size-fits-all approach can
make learning feel like a burden rather than a joy. If you want to break free from this cycle, consider

And that I can build in the meaningful activities that used to require reserving a computer cart from
the library (hit-or-miss proposition sometimes). Instead, use it as a way to communicate to parents at
home as to what their child is learning in school. Since I wanted to make sure that my students had
choice in their assignment, I created a board with 25 spaces. They feel that the overall mental and
physical health of students is being sacrificed because of excessive homework that cuts into the
activities and family time that all kids should enjoy. No longer was I getting last-minute emails for
extra copies of a math sheet. Then when you feel good again, go back to doing homework and if you
do feel stressed at least you got some work done and progress. It’s an agreement in which, for it to
be worth it to you, elements must stay balanced. Taking into account the average seven-hour school
day, a middle schooler who does just one hour of homework each night is putting in a forty-hour

punishing a student who goes home to an empty house all afternoon and has to watch their younger
sister and possibly cook dinner. Has the school considered allowing him to write on a computer
keyboard. Sometimes homework isn’t working because they’re struggling with it in class, as well as,
out of class. As adults, we have also figured out ways to break down tasks. I want kids thinking and
arguing and defending their positions and solving problems and working together and practicing
skills and having a chance to ask questions and get feedback on their efforts. Of course, this type of
reasoning is best reserved for middle school and up. If you’re not convinced that homework matters,
it will be even harder to convince your kids. When students perceive an assignment as busywork,
they often rebel. A waste of time. Time could be spent doing more productive things. You are not
alone and it is not a delayed (only) issue. Yet still, as I was reading Ditch That Homework the other
night, Mrs. Dull caught me in the midst of a deep thought, lost across the room. And they might be
willing to go along with some changes if they have proposed those changes. That just sounds like the
set-up for a power struggle. Consider giving students assignments ahead of time so they can work on
them throughout the week rather than assigning everything to be due the next day. Giannis
Antetokounmpo Makes His Thoughts Clear About Damian Lillard. He runs laps, which he does

was embarrassed. A failure. I’d missed a problem on my math test that I knew the answer to but had
rushed or forgotten, or I didn’t know what, but I’d gotten the answer wrong. But homework
assignments have to be kept consistent across the board and that means giving out homework to
everyone, regardless of whether or not it is helpful to every student. We want to know and do things
that are going to help us in our lives. I've created an editable version of this resource so you can

successfully handed control over to the parents to decide how much homework their child needed to
complete that week. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the
reviewer bought the item on Amazon. Too much help teaches your child that when the going gets
rough, someone will do the work for him or her. If she has ninety-nine minutes of nightly
assignments, as students in the Associated Press-AOL Online poll report, her work week jumps to
43.25 hours. That means that many sixth-graders are working longer hours than the average adult.
They get help when they need it in class, have an opportunity to do engaging, meaningful activities
in class, and understand the math skills at a deep level. When you are inspiring younger kids to get
involved in homework, one neat trick is to do some homework of your own, to show your child that

giggling, thinking it’s a freaking swimming pool or something. If your child usually resists

homework dilemma both as a student and a teacher. Has the school considered allowing him to write
on a computer keyboard. I’ve taught mixed-ability classes at a previous school and I’ve got some
practices in mind that have seemed to benefit all students. And what is the real purpose behind those
devilish dioramas. Don’t hesitate to get help and support from a guidance counselor, instructional
coach or administrator. They feel that too much homework is severely damaging to students and they
urge parents to unite against the education system and demand reforms. Kids still need to complete
their tasks, but they can pick and choose what they want to work on at the time. The chart and
homework should be completed at the same time. Place that expectation back on your kid or you’ll
suffer the consequences of having to keep constant checks on everything, be at the receiving end of
your kid’s irritation, and end up realizing that all you’ve really taught your kid is that you’ll manage
her affairs rather than the other way around. It takes him a lot longer than typical six-year-olds. Make
sure that students know how the homework will help them. Still, like you I always try to stress that

they do miss a question here or there either. If you think endless worksheets and multiple choice tests
make students miserable, check on their teachers sometimes. I also would recommend the

your depression. Remember that homework is a form of practice, so don’t expect your child to do all
the assignments perfectly. I also stopped getting notes about busy schedules and the inability to finish
homework. If they’re producing messy homework, try to catch them in the process and encourage a
neater effort. For me, the big issue is: Can I give students the opportunity for practice, and the
quality feedback they need, and notes, and everything else, in a 50 minute class. There is also a
difference of nightly work vs weekly packets which give flexibility to families. I really do.
Homework can be a useful tool for an educator. The stories however are primarily from people who
support the argument against homework. In elementary school, ten minutes times the grade number is
sufficient; more than 90 minutes for middle schoolers or more than two hours for high school
students is excessive. This offered them a chance to use these resources as a part of their homework
without punishing those students who did not have access to a computer or the internet at home. It is
frustrating. You want them to learn and you want them to get good grades. You can only take so
much before everyone gets to their breaking point. I hear ya. But it’s worthwhile knowing how your
students think your class could be better (most of us are our own worst critic, but sometimes we
don’t see things as others see them), and then using acting on those suggestions. My homework
completion rate went through the roof, and I had students trying to see who could get blackouts on

They have intimate knowledge of how the two classes might mix, and how we can anticipate our
