Should teachers be allowed to give homework? In a well written paragraph, state and support your opinion.
Homework is an important part of the learning process and teachers should be allowed to assign it. One reason is that homework gives students additional practice of skills covered in class. High school classes are too short to teach a new concept and practice it sufficiently for students to master. Students need both guided practice in class and independent practice at home. Another reason teachers should be allowed to give homework is that students do not all work at the same speed and giving students time at home to finish work keeps them falling behind. For example, some students can write a brilliant persuasive paragraph in ten or fifteen minutes, while others require an hour to complete the task. The ability to assign homework gives the students who work more slowly the time they need to complete the task without boring the quick writers. Finally, teachers should be allowed to give homework as it provides time to complete longer more challenging assignments and projects. For example, the ideal essay writing process needs a lot of time for students to think about their ideas, as well as a lot of time to write, revise and proof read their writing. If homework was not allowed, students would be constantly rushing through longer assignments or teachers would have to assign only short, unoriginal tasks. In conclusion, not only is homework essential to mastering new skills, but it also guarantees students who require more time the time they need and provides the needed time for longer more challenging assignments.
