Why home works given in schools are important?

Mostly, homework is given because the teacher spent too much time yelling at all the morons who keep disturbing the class. The teacher runs out of time, so gives all the stuff they were going to teach to everyone as homework. But, very often, homework is to get you to look up things on your own, like you'll have to do in the real world. Doing homework can get some of your family involved too, maybe even making it fun to learn together. In high school, I had an independant study class, where we had to choose a topic, then do a paper on it. It required keeping track of all the hours you worked on it, and where you got your information from. It helped me understand where I could get information from, not having to depend on anyone to do my own work. That's what homework does for you. It makes you able to work independantly, so that you will grow into an independant adult. We need more of that nowdays. <*)))><

They already do. Teachers in the US make very low wages for the amount of education they have and the amount of work they do. It's almost a volunteer job. They often pay out of their own pockets for school supplies and other materials to help children who don't have enough money to buy them. Without volunteer help, many teachers would not be able to do a decent job. I think parents and the community at large should make it a point to help teachers by voting for school funding and by volunteering to help teachers get their clerical work done.

We give homework to reinforce the lesson or concept that we were trying to teach during the day.  Some students can only learn when they sit down at home all alone and try to work through a problem rather than having someone talking at him/her.  Homework forces students to struggle through concepts that teachers are trying to instill in them.

It's good you're trying to get a computer to help with school. It helps when you need to type up essays and research papers, etc. for your classes. You will also need it for researching projects. If you don't have a computer at home you'll end up spending extra time at the school to do your research and typing there.

Yes, for all the reasons listed already.  Also, homework teaches you accountability and to take responsibility for your own learning.  It is particularly important if you're planning on going to college or university after high school.  There, no one will hold your hand or coach you through your degree.  If you want it, you earn it.  The self-discipline, attention to detail, and time management skills learned from doing high school homework will save your butt in a post-secondary scenario.

How do you expect to learn anything in school if you don't do your own homework. My mother was a chool teacher and she would never help my sister and me do our homework.  She told us to ask the teacher if we needed help.

No. Most public schools expect way too much homework from students. I think 6 hours/day is more than enough time for formal learning. Kids shouldn't have to go home and put in another 2+ hours! The best learning happens while playing, socializing, and doing the things you love to do. Not by doing mindless busy-work. This is one of the many reasons I choose to homeschool my daughter.

You've just got to do the work and make it fun as well. School work isn;t really fun, but if you have a good time with friends AND get the work done it makes it sooo much easier.

No. I think homework should be lowered and students create thier own study habits to prepare themselves for college and life.\n\nClass time should be devoted to learning and making sure the children understand. More homeowrk means that there is more work for teachers and more emphasis on grades instead of letting the teachers teach and letting the students learn without being penalized becuase they can't do thier homework all the time because of sports, thier personality, don't understand it, et cetra.

If it is determined that a "Home Program" is the best environment for your child, then your local school system must provide and pay for program.  Speak to your doctor, psychologists, therepists, teachers, etc.  Get support behind you.

Homework is necessary for the children for synchronizing with the studies goes on in the school... never tell negative about homework in presence of kids...

Really, it depends on the pupil. \n\nHomeschooling provides more of a one on one education. Special needs can be paid closer attention to or help in a particular area can be attended. However home schooled students tend to lack social experience and a large cultural variety of peers. The student also misses out on opportunities such as student government, sports, or clubs.\n\nPublic school provides a variety of subjects and usually teaches them fairly well, in my experience. However class sizes tend to be larger and sometimes struggling students are over looked. Students usually have opportunities to take classes based on interests and their grades. There is usually a variety of culture at public schools and a large student body with peers. Socially, public school students blossom.\n\nPrivate school students usually receive excellent educations as the subjects tend to be slightly more advanced. Class sizes are usually smaller meaning struggling students get more help. Private schools tend to have better extracurriculars, because of tuition money. However, the student body may be limited and lacking in diversity. Often students who board at their school can receive a taste for college life and be more prepared than other students.

There is a difference between helping someone with something and doing someone's homework.\n\nTry doing some research.

Teachers give homework in school because it reinforces concepts learned in class.  Practice makes perfect!

I think the parents can assist in the homework but let the child try to do it first so you can see what they know and where they need help. If you do all the work your child will not learn. I would think work done at school would reflect who did the work you or  the child. No one said the child has to get everything perfect the first time. They learn from the mistakes.
