Do we need a homework ?


Nowadays, school is lead to an international standard to lift up its popularity in the city. Many ways has done by the government to subsidize its budget. School which is used to take care its student by traditional ways, now, directly inversely changes to modern way. Technology and languages have been dominating its school. Everything which is related with the curriculum, now uses English as the media of teaching. The structure of organization is in English. Everywhere we walk, it smells English and so English. School which doesn’t use English as their first language at school will lose its name in the list of top school at that district. Not only English, but also technology itself. Absences of the student are arranged by the computer. Teacher gives the task by the internet. Just click and download, student can fulfill their mark everywhere. 

Talk about homework, it’s related with the student’s daily job. Student usually is gave the homework everyday by their teacher. Homework’s purposes are to increase the understanding of the student about its subject. Also, it prevents student from being lazy because they have something to do what we called it as homework. Teacher gives the student homework is to improve student skill and for a trial at home. Sometimes, homework is as an additional exercise which is more complicated and needs more time to do it. Also that homework is about the material which will be announced the next day. So, it’s kind a self-learning for the next material given the next day. By the way, doing homework at home also such as a trial for time management. See, by doing homework, student will be used to manage their time wisely between doing homework, playing, taking a rest and so on. So, it also increases the student responsibilities that needed in this new era. Homework usually does by the student for 1-2 hours in their spare time. However, it can be an alarm for them because when they want to have fun instead of study, homework will spinning around their mind to remains them about it. 

Normally, student will be happy because they have something that they have to do instead of sleeping in their spare time. But, take a look in some cases. Many students are getting stressed because of this crazy thing. No matter if the homework is only for one or two subject. Sometimes, the homework is about all subjects at that day! Can you imagine how crazy the teachers are. Students think that a homework is enough for them as far as they have understood the material. But, sometimes teacher give them so many homework to be done for the next day. Let’s imagine. If the student’s time at school are about 8 hours a day. And they have to go to a courses as soon as they are home. It takes 2 until 3 hours. This it remains 4 hours towards their sleeping time. Have you ever think that students time is not only for doing their homework, but also for improve their talent and help their parents. So, when do they can take a rest for a while when they have so many things to do? Students also a human which needs a break from their busy day. If we take look at their school’s time, 8 hours, it’s enough for them to study about science, math and languages. So, why the teachers keep giving them homework regularly?  In the real life, the homework is usually difficult and more effort to do that. More difficult means more time needed for them to do that. If they are wasting their time by doing their homework, it will reduce their effectiveness for their daily. No problem if the homework is easy and for train them remembering the material given at that day.

So, doing homework is very useful for students because they can improve their understanding. But, if it’s reduce their time for enrich their talent, do we need to keep doing homework?
