Answer 2

Answer:

THE ROLE OF HOMEWORK

The question I would like to ask is :- Why should student be overburden with homework. There was a time when student were given pages and pages of writing or learning work to do at home. The modern focus of education is more activity based. Students are asked to plan projects, participate in group activities in class and do a lot of oral work in class itself— all of which have to develop their all-around personalities.

Sitting alone at home and writing or learning answer after answer hardly benefit the students. Planning project or participating in group activities has to develop various qualities which will stand them in goods stead later life. They learn to be more social, they learn to share experience and what is most important. They begin to understand things better than they would ever be able to if they seat alone at home spending hours on homework. The oral discussion develop their speaking skills, teach them how to participate in conversations, make them learn to importance of sharing ideas, respecting others people's opinions, airing differences of opinion gracefully and so on. All this cannot be learnt at home. Classroom activity is the norm of the day and a welcome norm. Indeed! children tend to learn more when they are with their pair group. Learning becomes a fun-activities rather than a burdensome lonely exercise.
