They don't have time to just be kids anymore -- they're so bogged down. And since many of the assignments are simply busywork, learning often becomes a chore rather than a positive, constructive experience. Homework overload is also affecting family life -- a lot of kids can't even make it to dinner, and as a result, the only interaction they have with their parents involves arguments about homework.
Kids and books would be strewn all over our dining room table and after the battle of getting them to open the books was won, the next battle was helping them understand what was expected of them in the assignment they had been given. My wife and I found ourselves looking forward to school vacations with as much enthusiasm as our children. For us it meant that we could catch a glimpse of prime time television or perhaps turn in early.
Now there is a movement afoot which suggests that kids are given too much homework and that its value is marginal anyway. Many don't seem to know whether it even makes any differences.

It is important that children were to be provided a quality education so that they have better weapons for the morrow

ResponderEliminarIt is true what he says, because no one likes to let us work, I think that all activities are conducted in the same school and home is just to relax and have fun with our families.
ResponderEliminarI think many teachers overstate the amount of homework that students leave them, many times parents are performing tasks that end.
