ISSUES

Homework is an activity or task assigned by the teacher for students to do at home. Homework can be various and can be done individually or in groups. Homework assignments can covers practices that emphasize at the skills which have been obtained. There are a lot of discussions whether children should be given homework or not. Is it enough for children have time to study at school or need additional time at home for study after school time?

ARGUMENTS FOR

Some people claim that children have enough work at school. They also argue that children have their hobbies they want to do after school, such as sports or listening music and helping parent's jobs. Next, which they make is that a lot of homework are pointless and it does not help the children learn at all. And children also need time for family and rest.

However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and teachers argue that it is important to know whether the children can work alone without support from teachers. Teachers assign homework to be done by students at home. This task should can train the children a sense of responsibility with the complete homework. This homework also helps students develop management time. They starts to devote time to learn and play, so they can complete their scheduled tasks according to the time they have. Beside that, they claim that the school day is too short to get something done

ARGUMENTS AGAINTS

I think, give homework to students is a good idea, but teachers also have to consider in giving homework to students, whether the job can eliminate the students' breaks time and gather with family or not.
