Student Homework Guide
"Homework,
or homework assignment, refers to tasks assigned to
students
by their teachers
to be completed outside of class.
Common homework assignments may include a quantity
or period of reading
to be performed, writing
or typing
to be completed, problems to be solved, a school
project to be built (such as a diorama
or display), or other skills to be practiced. The
basic objectives of assigning homework to students
are the same as schooling in general: To increase
the knowledge and improve the abilities and skills
of the students. However, opponents of homework cite
homework as rote,
or grind work, designed to take up children's time,
without offering tangible benefit. Homework may be
designed to reinforce what students have already
learned, prepare them for upcoming (or complex or
difficult) lessons, extend what they know by having
them apply it to new situations, or to integrate
their abilities by applying many different skills to
a single task. Homework also provides an opportunity
for parents to participate in their children's
education."
