Are take-home assignments beneficial for students?
There has been several debates that point to the negativities of homework, driving some institutions to forego them.
However, there is more to homework than just providing additional work load to students.
Homework also compels our pupils to sit down and study outside the four walls of the school. It nourishes their understanding on various subject matters. It also gives them a sense of responsibility, and helps them in having a first-hand experience in managing time, being able to get the job done at a time provided to them.
In the long run, homework has more pros than there are cons, specifically in their cognitive development.
Educators should continue to push to provide take-home work for their pupils to accomplish in order to achieve effective learning strategies.
