▶ Your Answer :
It is often said that through assignments, teacher can help their students prepare
for the future. However, contrary to their expectation, such assignments do not
improve students academic performance. Making them stressed out too much, it is
going to end up lowering their performance and health condition.
To
begin with, getting a high degree of stress coming from immense homework forbid
the students to live a stress-free life. This is attributed to the fact that
having homework everyday can stress the students out by making them worry about
how to finish them after class everyday. Moreover, stress is one of the main
factors of disease through weakening the immune system. According to a study
conducted by Seoul National University of Korea in 2009, a test on mice showed
that life span was shortened when they regularly underwent series of electric
shocks. Interestingly, the researchers found a link between this and human
beings who suffered from periodic stress. This implies that the high stress
levels arising from assigned homework everyday can negatively affect the
students' health condition by malfunctioning the immune system.
In
addition, teachers do not need to give their students assignments everyday.
This is due to the fact that even if intermittent homework can be helpful for
their grades in school, such exhausting one is only detriment to students'
motivation to study hard. They focusing on completing their homework, they do
not tend to consider how the homeworkd is related to the subject. Moreover, it
can make students less concentrate on class. According to the Ministry of
Education of Korea in 2009, there was a huge difference between two groups of students
in their concentration. and academic performance. Students in group A were
allowed to finish a homework a week and those in group B were given one a day.
The researchers showed that the students in group A followed instructions well,
submitted their assignments on time, and concentrate better on class. On the
other hand, those in group B dozed off in class and lacked a focus in class
materials becaue they were tired by much too sufficient homework. This implies
that imparting students everyday can be harmful to their performance and
participation in school.
In
brief, teachers assigning every-day homework to students, they are likely to
think they are improving their students significantly. However, I firmly
believe that it only lower the chance for them to focus on major subjects. Not
only that, receiving an assignment every day, their health condition can be
damaged as well. Consequently, less homework teachers give, the better it is
for students.
