Today, one of the groups of people who are living under the biggest pressure is students, especially high school students in china. They are always the one who get up early in the morning with black circle on eyes and big schoolbags on the back. In order to reduce their heavy burdens, people appeal to schools and teachers for assigning less homework to students. However, I still consider that daily homework is necessary for students in middle and high schools.
Assigning daily homework can help students study effectively. Students have 7 classes everyday in which large amount of new knowledge beats into their head. According to the curve of memory, students need to review at least once a day to digest what they have learnt in the classes. Daily homework is just a good guide for students to do the review. With the guide of homework, students may find it more easy to start a review for it provides them a outline of the whole day’s studying contents. Besides, assigning daily homework can enforce those students who are not able to control themselves to ensure enough study time and prevent them from falling behind.
By assigning homework everyday, teachers can provide lectures with higher quality. Homework is a platform for teachers and students to exchange information about how well the knowledge is tranfered from teachers to students. After correcting students’ homework, teacher can make a check on teaching effects of last class and adjust their lesson arrangements. If teachers assign homework less frequently, for exmple, on weekly basis, they can not know whether there are problems in their teaching method or teaching speed in time, reasulting in teaching inefficiency.
However, for students of colleges and universities, daily homework is unnecessary for most of them can arrange their own time appropriately and the ultimate goal for university education is not only acknowledge the contents of text books but also many other skills such as communication and social skills. Inversely, unlike university students, students in secondery school and senior high school are under the pressure of final exams, so they need daily homework to keep them focus on study everyday.
In a word, teacher can reduce the amount of homework to relieve students from the heavy study burden but the key is to assign homework on daily basis. |
