The general thought over the homework are to establish better learning and understand the concept better. These home assignments are responsible for better learning. But, the scenario is hard to accept as it is seen lack of tolerance and enforcing homework on the child becomes intolerant. Would it not be a debatable one? As told already think it in a different perspective which would create a new blanket over encouraging homework in schools.

It turns to surprise when told that it also teaches the various concepts of obedience, meeting goals, managing deadlines, presentation skills and much more. Would you not agree over these being the best life skills which needs to be incorporated in the early education? What do you think will be the best in focus and practice such great skills.

Homework and Assignments are required…

As the supported inclination to the overall grooming of the child as a responsibility holder will agree over encouraging homework in schools and the child needs to face the tolerance over handling it to the best of the ability over the real world expectations managing with the knowledge and the skills.

What more? The doubts flashes…

  • Should the student be taught over the responsibility in taking up homework?

  • Should the homework be assigned to the selective or all students?
  • Will the need be to determine the deadline for all works assigned?
  • How about providing grace period?
  • Should the assessments submitted be compared and ranked?

This is quite a many to go… wish to emphasize more on the actual purpose of the homework which is basically to deepen the learning concepts, understanding and rehearsing over the materials studies and boarding the concepts for better understanding. The authenticity of the homework is posted for better learning and securing good academic performance. So, again this does not ignore the other skills which was discussed and ultimately they also stand to the goals of the schools in the approach of assignment.

Grace time flexibility

So, has been questioned about the grace time which is quiet acceptable as in the real world too we come across many flexibility, second change and the real grace period, so why not give it to the students to experience the last chance for the penalty and drop points.

Schools don’t have to struggle over this concept and here is few strategies which will bring in more delivery of the benefits of homework.

Understanding before declaring

This is the prime thing which helps in bringing better results. You may be required to understand the student mind set and the order of learning and you would have to encourage few of the many who are not keen over the homework.

Or, you may learn that homework assignments need to be differentiated depending on the needs of your students. Once students discover you care about them and know them as individuals, they will do their best to complete assignments in a timely manner.

Massive results can be expected when the students are involved in the discussion about how the homework can be taken forward. There may be some reluctant or the passive student who fear over the helplessness, identify them and give them the complete guidance, reference material and accessibility to the reference materials.

Few among you may still be unconvinced over this concept so put it on a trial basis, reinforce concept, respond promptly to the inquiry, make an agreement with the student if necessary,

I am now sure you would come in the bracket of agreeing to certain extend about the benefits and bring to operation with the positive attitude.
