It is a common belief that children have to do homework for their own development. However, I believe that children should not be forced to do their homework because the efficiency of it is not high.
People who insists that children have to do their
homework may say that it teaches how to study by themselves. By studying
themselves, they could deepen their understanding of what they learned from
their lecture and they can expand their interests of the subjects. For example,
in the case of mathematics, by watching a teacher solving problems may help
students to understand better, however, when students try their own self truly
increase their ability of their math skills. Since, they fully understand how
to solve the problems. It suggests that doing homework makes students develop
their educational ability.
On the other hands, it could be suggested that
forcing children to do their homework would not be helpful for them. Children
who are put in the situation where they are needed to do their homework
compulsorily by not their own wills, they can easily lose their interests of
studying. According to research, it shows that students who are forcing to do
study easily get tired and lose their focus whereas students who study by their
own wills get less tired than the other group. It indicates that children don’t
necessarily have to do their homework.
To sum up, having to do homework for children is
contentious issues that there are opinions that support and oppose. Nevertheless, I believe that
there will be better method for children to study than doing their homework.
