Some people think that homework are tedious tasks that deprives the student of their free time but in my opinion, giving homework to students daily helps the student achieve academic excellence. First of all, homework is revision. Daily homework given by teachers is usually an extension of the day’s lesson in class. By doing homework everyday, the student is unconsciously revising what was learnt in class, and this in turn, helps the student remember what was taught in class. For example, my maths teacher in high school used to give us problems to solve every day. I now realize that homework made me apply and practice the concepts learnt that day, and the concepts only got clearer with more problems solved. Added to this, homework helps the students to keep a check on whether he or she understood what was taught that day. For example, I would always ask doubts and questions that arose doing homework the next day and my teacher would gladly and immediately help me solve the problems. I would then have better understanding and foundation in the the following lessons. It is easy for students to loose interest when teachers start teaching things they don't understand. I feel it is necessary to keep a check on the student's progress everyday to avoid such misfortune. Lastly, homework instills discipline and sense of responsibility in students. Students are required to be diligent to submit the homework in due time and through this, they learn the importance of deadline. Also, since homework cannot be done by someone else, students have to become responsible for the assignments given to them. To sum up, homework is a good way to help students practice new concepts, keep up with what is taught in class and become responsible for their duties. In this regard, I strongly agree with the statement that homework should be given to students every day.
