▶ Your Answer : One of my teachers in my high school assigned a daily set of math questions to me and my colleagues every day. Equipped with the vision of enlightening the students by the knowledge of calculus, she ordered us to solve the problem sets and submit them before every classes, which opened from monday to friday. However, I believe that bestowing homeworks to students day-to-day is detrimental for both students and educators, and education itself.
First of all, everyday assignments will make students tiring. The young guys do not take only one class a day. Usually in the education system of modern countries, they are obliged to take part in several classes. Therefore, issuing homeworks everyday will increase the workloads of them, making them physically and mentally fatigue. If it is repeated on and on, students will not be able to follow up with the class as they are too exhausted to understand what teachers and textbooks argue.
Moreover, gurus will not be able to teach another part of the education, teaching attitude and norms, as they will lose reputations from students. It is natural that students will not like those who give assignments everyday. In other words, teachers will lose reputation and trust from them. This is problematic for them as teachers in most schools do not only teach scholastic subjects but they do let the students know the behaviors, attitudes, and norms of the society that the youngsters will live. To educate these moral stuff, the relationship between two groups is significant as the younger ones will just believe what the seniors say. However, with low reputation from students triggered from issuing daily homeworks, teachers will have a hard time teaching those internal things.
Lastly, everyday assignments are not good for academic education itself. Education researchers in Korea stresses the importance of self-doing study, which means that studying should be done by oneself. In other words, he or she should not depend on the lectures and the assignments that other people including teachers merely give. Rather than feeded by mother birds, the researchers strongly argue that the baby birds, students, should fly by themselves, zealously looking for references in library or searching on the Internet for additional resources related to the topic he or she wants to learn. However, a bunch of daily assignmentswill hinder students to execute 'self-doing study,' the best way for students to learn something, according to the researchers. Therefore, in terms of the efficiency of education, daily homeworks will damage the efficiency of education.
In conclusion, giving assignments everyday to students is not helpful for them as it is not beneficial for students' everyday life and teachers' reputation. Not only that, it also does not give them time for self-doing study, the most effective way for education. I hope that teachers like that of my high school would understand the detrimental outcome of day-to-day burdens. |
