The Great Homework Debate

The issue of homework is one who can share teachers and parents. Before the assigned tasks, the teacher should carefully consider the effectiveness of the task, the ability of students, and the reason for this dodjeljuje.Razmatranja in this article are from both parents and primary educator of view, and there are certainly good reasons for and against homework.
According to Wikipedia, homework "refers to the tasks the students their teachers to be completed mostly outside of school." In this statement there are some valid questions that arise.

1 Do your homework should be able to be completed individually by students, or should a parent help?
While parental support is always welcome, in fact many of our students live in households where parental support is not always readily available. As well, family time is becoming so fragmented that it seems to be a holy time be better spent interacting with each other as a family unit, rather than fight over homework.
This does not mean that parents should help their child. This suggests that educators must be aware of their teaching lessons so thoroughly that parental assistance becomes largely unnecessary. Some teachers go so far as requiring parental assistance with homework, not to breed positive feelings toward school. Instead, it makes parents feel that the teacher is not doing its job, and expect their parents to pick up the pieces. This leads to the following question.
2 What is the purpose of homework?
The purpose of homework, I believe, is the practice. It should be designed to learn something new. Instead, in practice the skills that were previously taught in the classroom. The idea of homework, and by itself, breeds negative feelings for many students and parents. They come home from school exhausted and often frustrated the school day. Many children are involved in other activities that are equally important for their social and emotional well-being, and too many tasks (task with no real purpose) may take away from those other activities.
Another purpose of the homework that is often cited to begin to build responsibility. But is that really our role as educators, they do it through your homework? Are there any other way we can build this trait in students? Having said that, I believe a small amount (10-15 minutes) meaningful practice some nights is a good thing, but the task should require students to be active meaning makers, and if the job does not lend itself to, don 't give it away.
3 Not a critical task for the ratings?
No Local can be used within the class as a full character that tried, but the actual assessment should come from students in the classroom. I know that I would not want to be taken every time I practiced a little, and studies show that it can take up to 28 exposures a new concept for students to solidify the material. I "sign" of homework, but the "grades" are coming from both subjective and objective observations and formal assessments in the classroom. Perhaps the task should be shared out in the classroom, and does not assess a teacher with little or no discussion among the students.
4 If we raise the standards, does that mean that students will have to work?
Yes, but so should teachers. This does not equate more local - that equates innovative way to deliver content, understanding how children learn best, holding students accountable for their progress in school, and be sure to learn in meaningful ways that allow students to make connections and scaffolding to the previously held knowledge. Absolutely not equate to forcing students to do more work at home. In contrast, their day should be filled with meaningful learning experiences so that their time at home is best left to individual pursuits, and family-oriented activities.
Preconceived notions about what the task should be, a purpose that will always be a difficult topic. Teachers can do much to change attitudes, if we think deeply about how we use the homework, the impact on our students and their families, and if the home falls into a deeper understanding of the subject.
