Is homework really a necessary component of learning? This question is still asked every day in students and parents lives. Ben Berrafato is an 11 year old boy from N.Y. who believes children can do without homework and school work should be restricted to the classroom and not done at home as well. After I have read about his opinion I believe I should explain the positive side of doing homework. - good opening
Ben Berrafato sees only one side of doing homework, which is the negative side that most little children see. Homework is given only to help us. In school we learn about important and unimportant things but both improve our thinking and knowledge. In class we listen to the teacher but it isn’t the same as sitting at home and memorizing what we learn in school.
At home you can learn in silence, without annoying noises around you and many children who can interrupt you. If you learn by yourself, you will grasp the material at your own pace, not like in class when you have to follow your teacher so you don’t miss anything she says or spells.
As you see, I endorse mandating students to prepare homework. I think every child, who grows up to be a parent, thinks the same and tries to explain the importance of preparing homework to his children. If we don’t do enough homework we won’t succeed.
