Homework?
The word rings different bells in different heads, and even in the same head different blocks of one’s memory.
At times, early in one’s life, it is a hideous and tedious word. The evil that robs the child’s time of play and laughter, creating instead a tearful moment. During the teen years, at times it brings drowsiness, at others, depending upon one’s inclination, an occasion for intellectual exercise, a routine that brings academic practice nearer to perfection.
At certain times, now, homework can be a joyful break from dullness. It is a creative routine of intellectual and mental exercise as one plays gymnastics with one’s mind so the mind becomes more pliable to dance with imagination or bounce with inquisitive curiosity in a limitless world.
Later on, when one enrolls in the life-long multidisciplinary graduate school, homework is self-assigned! The depth and breadth of one’s knowledge depend upon one’s ability to pose relevant questions, to do homework tirelessly without deadlines and grades. This time, homework shapes the path to a future that may enable one to achieve possibilities beyond one’s wildest dreams.
Homework, in my opinion, is the practice of what a student has learnt in order to examine thoroughly how the student can understand and develop academic skills according to a teacher’s expectation.
However, homework is not only for a student but also for a teacher because he/she has to design a proper homework for his/her students and has to analyze the result of student’s perfomance read from the homework in order to encourage the students’ academic ability as much as possible.
Homework can be a part of thinking process. To deliver a good work, it requires efforts to spend some time to accumulate sufficient information, evaluate and select the ones to use, and design the pattern and direction of the presentation of the answer. This process reflects students’ understanding of the task. Also, if shared with the class, it allows the class to look at different perspectives of the issues given as the prompts for everyone can use different methods or select different focuses of the issues to work on. For examples, a class can dissolve a math problem with different methods. Or, students can use different approach to read a text and possibly come up with various issues in the text that may include gender and economic ones. However, a problem about homework is that many times it does traumatise students. One major reason is that the attitude of students, which may be contributed mainly by the complaints they hear often on how traumatising it is, and later affectes them psychologically that they too will be traumatise by it. The said complaint has some truth in it as sometimes students cannot cope with the workload either with poor time management or that they do have personal matters that must be put forwards to homework. So, homework can help one thinks if one put efforts to it, but can be traumatising if one lets the idea of it being overwhelming haunts them or cannot manage the time to do it.
In my opinion, homework is a practice for anyone to be prepared for certain situations.
Its the combination of the words “home” and “work”. Home refers to not-a-classroom place so it is to work outside the place that one is supposed to be working at. Homework doesn’t limit for just students. People in any careers such as teachers, employers, employees or presidents need to do homework as well, in order to maximize their performances. However, homework is well-known to be designed for students because it’s the exact name how it is called among education field people. Therefore, homework plays the important role in reaching one’s ability and success.
Homework is, in my opinion, a teachers’ educational tool to control student’s life outside the classroom. It functions like law. If citizens follow the law, their life would be safe from punishment from the ruler, and their rights and freedom are protected. If they break the law, they’ll get punish or sanctioned. Just like the law, if students don’t do the homework, they’ll get sanctioned: bad grade, fail a class, blame, or other kinds of punishment. If students finish homework, they get accolade: their skills improve, getting good grade or pass a class etc. However, if the homework is too much, just like too strict law, the students will get too much stress, some of they may decide not to do it at all, or some might get it done in cheating ways. Proper proportion of homework is something teachers and educators need to think about.
สิ่งที่วัดความรับผิดชอบ คุณสามารถทำสิ่งที่มอบหมายได้ไหม โดยไม่ต้องมีคนมาจ้ำจี้จ้ำไช
It’s a way to gauge a student’s self-discipline. Can you handle your assignments without having someone constantly breathing down your neck?
สิ่งที่ต้องทำอยู่แล้ว
Work you should be doing anyway.
Some say it’s a practice, as “practice makes perfect.” Some say it’s a way to discipline; certainly, a docile student body is a lot easier to ‘manipulate’ and ‘control’. Well, that’s not what I’m here to talk about. Homework, for me, is a reflection of a student’s state of mind. It actually indicates a student’s attitude towards classes. I mean, if a student takes a great interest in one random class, any ‘work’ assigned by the professor won’t really be considered ‘homework’. That student will enjoy doing it as much as he or she relishes a good hour of gaming, surfing the internet, drooling over Korean drama actors/actresses, or socialising on Facebook. All in all, homework is homework only when one doesn’t REALLY enjoy a class, or, like me, for instance, one is just the quintessential embodiment of laziness.
Homework, for me, is something that would help learners to practice and re-examine their understanding about things that they’ve learned. It also keep learners in focus with the academic environment all the time so that their knowledge will be collected properly with also teaching students the responsibility. But, Homework could be a bad thing if the instructor push too hard, give the learners the overload, it will cause the learners to lose focus on the subject, and also they will have to use all their time doing the homework. the time which they could use to read, play, or do what they want to find themselves. so the homework is like a blade. it could be a weapon to help user conquer, but it could also hurt user if they don’t use it properly.
Homework is FOOD teachers assign students to eat at home!
When I was a kid, I had mathemasticks, Pad Thai, Engcuit, Tart, Bhudding-ism, and scienwich as homework
I aced some, I failed some.
But I hated all homework because they’re not as tasty as snacks yet they’re imperative. Mommy said homework is healthy while yummy snacks like candies are unhealthy.
It’s not fair that adults make yummy food and later label them ‘unhealthy’
It’s not fair that healthy foods are so hard to swallow.
Mommy said that was exactly the point. If homework is easy to swallow, it wouldn’t enhance anything. Good foods are supposed to nourish, not to cause tooth decay.
Now, I’m studying in Faculty of Tarts.
Only Tarts and Engcuits are assigned. I am so relieved I don’t have to eat mathemasticks and scienwiches anymore. I swear those foods make me want to vomit!
Homework is the measurement of how one is responsible for duties one is assigned. Nobody will remind you that you have to finish homework, because it is you responsibility to take care of it. If you can finish homework in the given, then it can measure that you know the position upon which you are — to aware of your duty. Homework also epitomizes a tool to keep you practicing the lesson you learn and brushing up your knowledge as well. Talking of homework negatively, one may associate it with boredom and tiredness. You have to finish it, but you may not feel into your homework. You just finish it right away without gaining anything, inasmuch as you are bored. Homework also eats away your time, which can be spent on other funny-and-intriguing activities.
Homework?
Something I sometimes eager to do it.
Something I sometimes eager not to do it.
Something I sometimes forget its existence.
