Doing homework vs doing work in class? No more homework in school debate.?

I think you are asking whether or not children should be permitted to work on their homework during school hours.  If that is not your question, then please rephrase it.\n\nIt seems there is no good reason why a student should not work on their homework during school hours if they have a free study period, or during lunch hour if they choose, so as to have more free time after school.  Indeed, I am at a loss to understand what arguments might be raised on the other side.  Of course, if a student is doing homework from one class while sitting in another class, and therefore not paying attention to the class he is in, that is not right, and the teacher would be justified in insisting he put it away and pay attention.

Well, I give you kudos for at least being honest about the fact that you know how, but you just don't want to have to spend all afternoon doing your homework. But you know what, hon -- that's part of being a student. Some days, most of your day will be filled with getting homework done. Turn on some relaxing music and get going. You'll be fine.

I think students get too much homework.  In fact, with rare exception, I don't think students should get homework at all.  If they are required to study on there own, they should be given the time to do it during school hours (without extending the school day).\n\nAfter spending all day in school, students should not have to go home and do homework.  When do they have time to be kids?  [Weekends aren't enough.]

Hey,I do that too.But i have never wondered about that.I make a time table but never actually do it.I guess that if the homework you're doing is the sub you like then there should'ne be any problem.But if its not then obviously thats human nature.no one likes to do something they hate doing.But inside we know that we're supposed to do it so our unconsious mind is telling us to.We satisfy it by telling it we'll do the homework but actually we dont want to do it.THats the thinking about homework and the part of not doing it is the part that is us.

I hate busy work.  A challenge is great, if you have enough information from class to do the homework correctly.  That is the problem that most kids don't like--homework should be practice or an extension of what is learned in class--not something new and stressful--then that is unfair.  \nPersonally, I never liked homework much, unless it proved to be very useful, but I did get a sense of accomplishment from it for my effort.

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...

If homework wasn't hard and TIRING the word work wouldn't be in the name.  Besides, it occurs to me that you desperately require the practice.  Nice grammar and spelling.

Homework means to research at home. Find everything you can about a given subject. In college, they give you a separate book with the answers in it. They want you to be able to get the right answers and compare your work with the answers. If you research a given subject, you have extended knowledge of it and you get 100% of the worth out of the homework instead of just dreadfully doing it.

You know..that's a really good question. Back in middle school, homework was everything. Tests were based off of homework. Now, as a junior, with three AP's, I've decided homework has NOTHING to do with your grade. Homework is literally busy work. Tests are based off your own individual learning and quizzes are things that the teachers go over during class. \n\nAlso, homework doesn't tell the teacher anything about how much you've learned. Nowadays, you have this site to help you, wikipedia, etc. Anything. \n\nIt's totally pointless. The only homework that I've found has helped me is for history. It's a bunch of reading and essays that question your knowledge about the current subject.

I like B1rchy's answer.\nIt also points out that organisional skills are required from the teacher too, and in particular, that there is a specific plan for what needs to be achieved (the old Aims & Objectives thing - or is it Learning Outcomes now?)\nIntegrating homework into the overall plan is very important; it should not be a rushed add-on. Setting the homework first has so many advantages. Judging by some of the Questions posted here, there are a lot of poorly prepared, puzzled and anxious pupils. I favour starting homework in the last 10 minutes or so of a lesson so that pupils have an opportunity to discover problems before they get home.\nPupils will very quickly adapt, enjoy and relax into a well-planned regime and excuses for indiscipline will decline.\nA transformation will not happen 'overnight' but will occur sooner if you can include a meaningful reward system.

Think of doing your homework as doing a job:\n    When you do your job, you get paid. After you get paid, then you can go out and have fun.\n     Conversely, when you do your homework, you get a reward. - You can get on the computer and have fun.  \n     But don't try to put the cart before the horse.  There are too many temptations to prevent you from getting your homework done.

There's a difference between homework help.. and wanting someone to write your thesis. I would have to say.. same as here.

Doing the work, as long as it gets done and you're doing well its fine. That was my motto in school anyways lol.  Unfortunately it takes a lot of discipline to do the work afterwards lol.

has it not occurred to you that pretty much anyone who posts on here is trying to get help with their homework? i don't see a problem with helping, even the solution as long as it can be useful in understanding problems

Nope --- I was a teacher and I hated giving it too (I had to grade all of it). Homework is important --- Sorry

Divide your time into blocks, much the way your day at school already is divided.  Have a block for homework, a block for dinner, a block for TV, etc.  It is up to you to stay on schedule.  There will be times when you will not have the time to use the TV block because you have too much work to do.  Likewise, there will be times when you have less homework and can use some of that time to play.  They key is to stay on schedule, everyday, even if you got off schedule the day before.  Good luck!
