what is the purpose of homework?
443328
To make you feel like your still in school when your actually at home! Even after you've spent 8 straight hour doing work and listening to lectures, teachers want to make sure that feeling of boredness never leaves you!  And It even gives parents a good reason to nag and annoy you! But seriously though, its really, as someone else said, for practice so you remember the matirial better. The more you do it the longer it stays in your mind.

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.

Homework is an essential tool to re-inforce what you are learning in class.  Some teachers overdo it, as if they are the only teacher you have, but that doesn't negate the need for homework.\n\nHomework also gives you an opportunity to learn and hone study skills which you will need in H.S. and college.\n\nHomework also helps to instill a good work ethic which will serve you well your entire life...provided you take advantage of it.

While in class, the teacher teaches you the the contents of a course. If homework were not assigned, how would you get the practice you need to hone the skills you need to successfully pass the course. I was in school once myself, and none of us like homework. If we were given the option of doing homework, or not doing homework, then NO HOMEWORK would be done by 95% of students, and the number of duds walking the earth would be astronomical.

Homework is just a review of what you learned in class so that it will stick in your brain.  Most people learn from repetition.  It may seem pointless now but you will appreciate it when you grow up and have a great career and  income.....look me up and let me know if I am wrong about that but I can bet on it, lol...there's nothing like being able to go to the mall and get the stuff you want or being able to afford vacations and your bills.  It all starts with having a good education. \n\nHoney, it will only takes 30 minutes to an hour for you to do your homework and then get back to yahoo answers...just do it as soon as you get home and the rest of the evening is yours. :-)

Why do you want other people to do your homework for you. Instead of getting on here and trying to get other people to do your speech, why don't you use the internet to look stuff up?? I mean come on, how lazy can you be?

Mostly, homework is given because the teacher spent too much time yelling at all the morons who keep disturbing the class. The teacher runs out of time, so gives all the stuff they were going to teach to everyone as homework. But, very often, homework is to get you to look up things on your own, like you'll have to do in the real world. Doing homework can get some of your family involved too, maybe even making it fun to learn together. In high school, I had an independant study class, where we had to choose a topic, then do a paper on it. It required keeping track of all the hours you worked on it, and where you got your information from. It helped me understand where I could get information from, not having to depend on anyone to do my own work. That's what homework does for you. It makes you able to work independantly, so that you will grow into an independant adult. We need more of that nowdays. <*)))><

Homework should really only be for work that absolutely cannot be done at school.  Most homework today is the result of lazy teachers who try to push off their responsibilities to the parents.

Give yourself an incentive. For example, if I get all of my homework done, I will treat myself by doing this or that. For instance, go treat yourself to a movie you have always wanted to see or buy yourself a new CD or a DVD. Or go buy yourself a nice outfit. Treat yourself in some way as a reward for getting your homework done. Use this as an incentive to motivate yourself to complete your homework.
