Homework, good or bad for us?

“ A lot of homework make me tired and bored. “ I’m sure that some student have ever said that kind of statement, including me. When you want to refresh your mind on weekend and holiday but a lot of homework are waiting for you to be done, what will you feel? Sometimes I am sullen although I know what is the reason of my teacher why they give a lot of homework to us.

The teacher give us homework because they want their student to study. They know that some students will not study if they have no homework and examination. Homework will help them to study because to do their homework, students have to open their books and read it, right? It will also help the teachers to grade the students. They will know whether she/he is dilligent students or not by their continuity to do his/her homework. Homework will also help to increase our score on student report when our examination scroe is not too good. Because I believe that some teacher will take the score of our homeworks to their scoring book and combinate it with our examination score to make it better. That’s why homework is very helpful for us.

But, as I said before, sometimes homework makes students tired. They do not have any leisure time to refresh their mind, even in a long holiday, such as Idul Fitri Holiday because their teachers give a lot of homework to them. And for some students who are need to study and read their books intensively, they are not agree that homework is very helpful. Because they will study whether there is a homewrok or not. They even feel that homework is very harmful because it decreases their time to read the book intensively. They said that when we do our homework, it’s right that we will read the book. But it’s just a skimming and scanning method, just to find the answer of our homework. So we can’t get the knowledge well.

Back to the ‘law’ said that everything have positive and negative sides. But in my own opinion, homework is very useful as long as it’s not too much and teachers should pay attention to their students’ time to refreshing that is very needed. If the students are stress with their assignment, it’s possible to make their performance at school down, right? Whatever it is, students should do their homework, because that’s exactly our job as a students.
