Homework is regarded as an indispensable part of the schooling experience for most students. There is currently a controversial issue that teachers should not give too much homework but let children spend time joining in outdoor activities. For the following reasons, this idea is totally practical.
First, the large amount of homework can prevent students from practising essential life skills and stifling their creativity. Too much homework forces them to spend hours a day completing. That means the more exercises they have to do, the less time they have for their own interests and extracurricular activities which bring worthy opportunities for them to improve social skills and abilities. For that reason, students can gradually become passive and tend to be unsociable as well as less vivacious.
Second, excessive homework makes students no longer have enough time to maintain health. Since the pressure of homework is very big for the reason that students must complete before going to school, their only recourse will be to try as much as they can. So that they have to spend too much time on doing exercises to the point that they might not participate in regular physical exercises. Moreover, it is such an alarming thing that most students nowadays tend to spend 5 to 6 hours or even less sleeping per night, because of the overabundance of homework.
Last, excessive amounts of homework could have the opposite effect. After a whole tiring day of school lessons and extra classes, students need to rest and do light tasks instead of doing such a big amount of exercises. So, they become stressed and gradually get bored with studying in general and homework in particular, and by some way they do not do homework any longer. But there is a common phenomenon that students borrow their friends’ notebooks and copy the answer, substituting for doing it by themselves, it seems to partly demonstrate the opposite outcome of giving too much homework.
In short, teachers ought to reduce the amount of homework that students can have enough time to join in outdoor activities as well as physical ones, and maintain interest in learning.
