Homework is a way of extending learning beyond the classroom

While growing up as a kid, I used to hate homework because it stopped me from having fun when I came back from school.

I had a female teacher in primary school and she was very wicked, she doesn't waste time in using the cane on us if we didn't do well in what she taught us and even though most of us were able to escape her cane, there were two pupils in my class I always pity because there is no day they don't get flogged, it is either they got zero in their class work or they were not able to read the comprehension passage during the english class.

My worst nightmare was not being able to do my homework, and it is the same for others who left their homework undone because she doesn't spare us, she will ask for it immediately after assembly, and failure to produce it means early morning lashes...

It was my brother who always helped me with most of the homework because it is not the same thing we were taught in class that will be given to us as homework, the teacher will give us 2 + 2 = 4 in class but give us ( 2 x 4) / (2)²... Like, WTF! How can you use the simple one as an example in class and give us the difficult one as homework? How do you expect us to do it? But it is what it is, and failure to do is trouble, so I often disturb my brother a lot. Sometimes I will wake him up around 6 a.m., crying that he is yet to do my homework for me, remembering those days now puts a smile on my face. lol

Even though I hate homework as a student, I do wish for it to be cancelled or stopped as a parent because it is another way to help the kids to know more about what they were taught in the classroom, the teacher will not explain everything just like the example I gave on how the simple questions are being solved in class while the difficult ones are given as homework, this gives the kids to learn from both their teachers and parents or siblings, it is never the duty of a teacher alone to groom the kid.

Another reason why home work is important is, most kids only pick up their book when they are at home because of home work, they know the consequence of leaving it undone, so rather than spend their evening playing, they use it in making sure their home work get done, so this takes most of their time and help them to be studious. Without homework, most children will just dump their school bag without checking it until the next day at school.

Homework is a necessity that should not be stopped, stopping it will only make pupils and students unserious with their studies, we already have a population that does not care about studies cos it just feels like they are being forced to do it... Cancelling homework will make things worse.
