It's complicated. Homework involving reading or serve a purpose should be fine. Homework that serves no purpose is not.
4 page essay on why earring in class is unproductive...
Serves a great purpose 👍🏼
Yeah, clearly very complicated
Ðamoj Il but the problem is most homework I ever had was purposeless 🤣
I used to give my students worksheets in the classroom as extra work and if they're not done by the end of the lesson they would have to finsh it for HW, it's good because it ensures that they practice what they would've learnt
@Speaking Truth 0n jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjiimmmmm mm .I.iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiik.ik.iii
I hated school hugely to a point where I got depression. When at work, if you get diagnosed with depression, you are allowed time off. For me I couldn't get a break. Wake up early, go to school, get home do school work eat dinner revise, sleep repeat.
I hated school so much I would purposefully not go to sleep so it would take longer to go there again causing me to develop exhaustion. I started hating myself and developed a state of doing literally doing nothing. Nothing fun, nothing boring, just sitting down all day and staring into space. Obviously my grades started to drop drastically.
At 18, I couldn't take it anymore so stopped going to school and learnt it my self at home. Started to feel much better working my way up to 5 hours a day of work, and working on my hobbies. My 5 hours a day compared to the majorities 9-10 days got me better grades than most, 2a 1a*. Teaching yourself is the way forward. When I have kids I will ensure they don't do homework. Sounds stupid but I feel it's much healthier
Doesn't sound stupid to me, I take my hat off to you.
You sound just like me...I was held back because I hated it so much...failed my classes. Idk if I'm going to college this year, I can't take much more of this, but my family keeps pressuring me...
how'd that work out for you in the long run?
CORRECT!
I'm a 29-year-old man with a job working with an international company. I don't have homework.
School should exist to prepare children for their adult lives.
Banned? Maybe not.
Discouraged? Absolutely.
@Robert Taylor
Whiteboards, no.
Exams, could be revised.
IWBs, are whiteboards.
School buses, I take a bus to work sometimes.
SEN support staff, no.
Any other questions?
Actually, they have a couple of whiteboards where I work.
Come on, what's your point, mate?
"International company"... yeah, if my kid could not end up at carphone warehouse, that'd be great.
@@thedunyadoneya2628 Carphone Warehouse? What?
@b king or to learn how to research new things,
which surprising homework definitely helped me with.
Childhood exists to prepare children to be adults. Working is just one aspect of being an adult. Work/life balance, school/life balance, and give children more time to play, because after all, when children are playing they are learning, because that's what playing is: learning.
Do whatever it is that Finland is doing, it seems to be working for them
I think they have way less people and much smaller class rooms. So cant really do the same thing here
Doesn't work like that. We've tried to copy other countries but we need a culture change. There is no point doing what Finland do without adopting the culture they have - respect teachers, pay them properly, reduce stress, ranking etc.
Mr0011011 not exactly, it would be possible to implement elements of the Finish system. For example, in Finland there’s much more focus on playing and learning how to learn and in that way engaging more with the subjects than just reading and talking about it.
Anna Ingolfsdottir and team working/collaborative class work is a focus of Finnish education
Joe McWilliam exactly.

Their not taken into account children with disabilities eg. Dyslexia or other learning disabilities,my son is Dyslexic.. hes 12 and i still have to assist him as much as i can through every single peice of his h/w without actually giving him the answers course.. a set peice of homework that will take others 20mins can take my son over an hour. I feel we are continuously doing h/w and i cant get nothing done!! #mumrant. I think homework is needed by jeez cut it down
Your son has a gift. His brain is not wired for the teaching methods that suit 95% of the population but he has a very high level of visual awareness. Did you know that all of the worlds great inventors were dyslexic? Your son will be able to visualize multidimensional concepts in his brain that most people can not comprehend.
@@Will_CH1 i see it too my son is beyond visual and super observant.. im also dyslexic so i understand my son very well as i too wasnt suited to the box standard school methods.. thankyou for your very kind msg and will defo be looking up more inventors with dyslexia to show my son. The more role models the better in this world 👍
@@carollothian4583 Hi Carol, This does run in families and in fact communities. It is much more common in Celtic and Basque people. My theory is it relates to a large occipital lobe (the part that processes vision) . People with a large occipital lobe usually have a protuberance in the back of the skull immediately above C1. I guess that it was mostly the men in your family who were affected and a portion of them will be high achievers with poor scholastic records.
@@carollothian4583 When you have a look into inventors, i suggest you pay particular attention to Sir James Watt (we name power after him kilowatts etc) . He invented the steam engine and was basically the enabler of the industrial revolution. His great-nephew was Robert Watson-Watt who invented radar and saved England in 1940. That is one family with two dyslexic men that made some of the most influential inventions of our time. Note that Albert Einstein was also dyslexic.
@@carollothian4583 What these men have in common is that:
They were experts in their field
They had strong analytic ability
They had strong visual awareness that allowed them to visualize their concepts and refine them before they even put pen to paper. Unfortunately, a weak short term memory and dyslexia goes hand in hand with a large occipital lobe and strong visual awareness.
Homework just increases stress. It rarely has any benefit in the workplace
Puzzled Tie obviously it’s not going to have much benefit in the workplace, but doing homework is going to benefit your exam results
Not really it doesn't teach you anything
@@puzzledtie2162 Homework is not designed to teach you anything though; it's there to give students the opportunity to consolidate their learning and strengthen the foundations of their understanding in the concepts they've learned at school.
Jenezmy it doesn't strengthen them, I know this firsthand your either there completely stuck or you breeze through it.
Without someone there helping you explaining it directly in a way your able to understand nothing is learnt or strengthened
@@puzzledtie2162 It consolidates and reinforces the learning you go through in class, so you're not stuck at the end of the course having to learn it all again
Relevant homework that develops learning and is engaging but not tiresome and stress-enducing should be encouraged, other than that there really is no point to it
I agree with u.
What I've never understood is that if homework was meant to be practice for the tests, then how come students are penalized for not doing it even if they score well on the tests? Like 90% or higher
Yes, if you want to practice then practice, if you don't want to that's your business.
I was forced to do homework every day and it was awful. I had to do three to four pages of long division at the time of this happening.
I never did homework. Why should I spend all week at school and be told to keep doing the same throughout the weekend?
I made the decision to ban all homework when my daughter started school at 4. Schooltime us the time for schoolwork. hometime is the time for personal development
Teachers tried to insist I assist her after school ,I offered an invoice for the cost of my time.if I am to be used as a teacher I will be paid as a teacher.
My daughter received straight As in her exams and completed a science degree from a prestigious Scottish university at 20 years old.
Well 'assisting' your kids isn't a job, it's just part of parenthood
@@samjoshi1812 not academically no it isn't.
@@Name7.62 Because it's a parent's job to teach,morality,emotional intelligence,social skills, to encourage play and outside social interactions. It is a parents job to teach life skills, household responsibilities, social responsibility and respect.
It is a teachers job to teach reading,writing and arithmetic..nothing more. That can be achieved in the 6-7 hours they have 5 days a week for 14 years of that child's life.
This has to be lies...what about when your kid needed to hand in coursework for their exams. This needs to be done outside of school hours. Also, “science” degree sounds far too vague. Also, no freaking way would a normal person respond by offering an invoice. I call either BS or you are a crazy person!
@@AH-zs5hf I bet it's the dad. I bet it's the dad and he's got some sort of banking job or something where they employ loads of unpaid interns and his kid made the homework on their own or the mum helped when he wasn't looking. I bet he said "science degree" because he doesn't actually know what his kid is doing with their life, now that "parenting time" is over and he doesn't have to bother anymore. I don't know how it is in britain, but usually your homework makes up a certain percentage of your final grade, so no bloody way that kid never did any homework and got straight As for that.
As a student, I think homework is a valuable tool for children to learn time management as well as discipline and independence; however I believe that in large doses at a young age, it can be incredibly stressful. For secondary schoolers, homework lets us adjust to the workload of adult life, jobs and/or uni.
Neek
*are you sure your not a teacher in disguise?*
I disagree. Older children have higher risk of stress or anxiety which could be caused by too much homework. Also, it takes away your valuable time which could possibly benefit you more than homework.
I'm going to disagree with you right there being a uni student. No, it doesn't prep you for later life or the workload of Uni.
Whoever says that myth is full of crap.
For one the amount of homework you get for secondary is ridiculous. Over 10 GCSEs and most of them have homework that require a good amount of dedication.
They overload you at GCSE level. And it becomes more proportional at A-level and Uni to the subjects you study and you pace yourself on it.
And when I was in secondary. More than half of my homework was useless anyway to do and I skipped it either because I didn't have time or I just plain forgot it. This was usually because I was socially and mentally exhausted by the end that going to do my homework that required more than basic thinking just hurt.
I already had trouble in school with not being able to notetake well due to being a slow writer and I was constantly playing catch up despite being there. Later found out only in Uni that I felt the way I did because I was suffering from undiagnosed Dyslexia and Autism spectrum disorder.
I was just numb and dead in school. Homework barely had significance, only easy ones and others that were marked I did bother on and more than once I had to stay up late to finish them. And it wasn't a case of lack of time management. My brain needed a break but no one would give it to me... I realise now that I needed special educational help from the school, but the most they gave me was to go to a handwriting class. Useless, I left after one session.
My main point is, homework is stupid and is the school trying to cram too much in too little time and it ignores the needs of those with special needs including those undiagnosed like I was.
I can't help but feel angry when I think of my secondary. There were periods I was somewhat happy but those were more like periods of respite from being numbly miserable all the time.
Bet you like to sit at the front off the class
*Reads title*
Don't do that! Don't give me hope.
I would just give them any leftover classwork. Like any Q's they haven't finished during class.
thats what my maths teacher used to do. It suited me just fine cos i just got on with my work in class had no questions to do at home.
The answer to the question is yes. Homework is extremely stressful for me and statistics show that it doesn’t actually do anything.
The amount of homework should be lowered, when I was at school I rushed it all in the evening on a Sunday or the night before its due in. Any homework before year 10 is pointless.
School homework is not compulsory yet most parents & pupils have no idea they don’t have to do it. I think the belief that it is compulsory stems from the fear that teachers have always instilled in children generation after generation due to the anger they express and punishments given if the pupils haven’t done it.
The education system creates such fear in order to subdue & break children into becoming compliant and obeying not just teachers but all authority and most times it works.
Teachers should not be the enemy of the students. Using fear tactics like this can compromise the educational partnership.
Homework is made compulsory what do you mean? If kids don’t do it they get detention/punishment
@@dylann9719 Exactly like wtf
@@dylann9719 from my experience, they make it seems whenever you don’t do it they punish you, make it look like you SHOULD have do it. Another point is they can rate your scores based on your behavior so, no wonder the student fear the teacher

I've learnt nothing from homework... Homework made my childhood worse 100%...
Homework is just giving kids more tasks to do which eat in to their own time. It could easily be done in the last hour of school. Occasional projects and tasks which require research are ok, but homework from every class done every night is too much.
Syklone Never have i ever experienced children getting homework for every class every night... Which schools are you talking about?! tf dude
@@MedinEdits ikr however a private school in my area you would get 2-4 pieces of homework a day... 😟🥵🥶
@@MedinEdits yeah, I go to a private school and get around 3 to 5 pieces of homework a day, most of them being due the next day after
If you can't engage a kid in the class room, you ain't gonna engage them at home. Homework serves only one purpose: repetition. Considering the amount of time spent in school, that could well be incorporated there. Not all parents are equipped to teach children anyways. If kids don't learn the basic concepts during class, time spent agonizing over them at home is wasted, and will just cause resentment and fear, which will hinder all learning. It's one thing to have class projects, or study for an exam, but homework in of itself is useless, or worse, detrimental to learning.
What’s the point of a kid being in school for 5 - 7 (if not 9 with extra classes or tutors) a day to then send them home to do 1-5 (I sometimes had 6 in one night) hours of extra work? Are they even learning at that point as opposed to copying or reciting?
We can’t complain that obesity/ bad health /anxiety is a huge problem and then restrict their time outside or socializing etc etc.
some homework is fine, especially practical homework or reading etc but I’d be happy if they halved the amount that’s done
My husband and I have always thought homework was stupid. They're supposed to be learning at school. Let them just be a kid at home. Life will be stressful enough later, so why overload them now. And today's kids have school work we never had when we were Young so how could we even make sure they're doing it right when we don't know WTF it is. We just feel like that's the teachers job...or even tutors inside school. But then again some of those teachers are already overworked and underpaid. :/
Homework is a waste of time. Student should be given more time to understand the work. Work should be done in class. Homework is extra hours of school.
I got minor ptsd reading that comment asa flashback of english exams
Homework should be banned because students are stressing over nothing.
I think they should have Assessments and studying.
But to work everyday after school. Is not just a lot of work but at the end of the day. It’s just a percentage in your report
TaiPaulo TheMasterFilmmaker on the contrary i believe that having some homework to turn back to helps me understand og practice the earlier lesson. Plus i would feel more prepared when attending a class (as i would already have gone through the basics of the subject). -my personal thought-
A more important issue is getting kids more active and making learning more fun. Less time sitting at desks copying things from a board and more time outside doing practical learning. And more play time, because playing is learning. And that's the thing. When children go home from school and play with their friends, they are still learning, because playing IS learning. So no, they shouldn't have homework, because they are still learning even when they are not doing "work".
As a teacher, our school has a no formal homework policy. We encourage real life experiences, so helping with shopping and baking, and reading. We have so many kids who have such low life success expectations. We would rather they just enjoy learning, rather than pushing high grade expectations on them they may never achieve because there won't be any support from home.
How would you reply to google?
I remember going to school all day and extra tutoring or co-curricular activities until night plus hours of homework(each teacher gives out different homework), I felt I didn't have a choice because I will get detention. I don't remember much of it except the stress. If only 1 to 5 kids can't finish it, fair enough, bring it home but if the WHOLE class can't finish it then it means it was too much and that's on the school, not the kid. Don't give homework just for the sake of homework too. If you don't want it for your full grown self, why want it for the kids.
And the teachers never spoke to each other so you’d have three huge essays due the next day
Unfortunately as a 16 year
old student I DON'T think that homework should be banned (I know unpopular opinion) but WE NEED HOMEWORK HOWEVER:
1. we should not have more than 2 hours per homework to to after school per night (2 hrs is the BIG max). so maybe have 10-15 mins for KS1, 15-30 mins for KS2, 30 mins for KS3, 1hr for KS4 and 2hrs for KS5
2. Teachers need to mark, annotate and give individual feedback for the homework students do (there should be a homework marking criteria for each subject) and if the teacher fails to follow it they can't set homework.
3. Don't give everyone the same piece of homework. Different students need different pieces of homework based on their strengths and weaknesses
4. Don't set homework too make the school "look good" set it cause you really want/need to set it
5. I like the idea of no homework but my problem is the audience that is asking for it some just want to ban homework so that they can sit down and play their favourite video game or be on social media not because they are stressed
6. In consequence of point number 5: THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE YOUTH CLUBS FOR TEENS... there is literally nothing for 13-15 year olds to do after school (as they can't work or the fact that there are little to no youth clubs, only extracurricular activities offered by the school)
7. How are students supposed to see if they've understood a topic at a later date if you don't give them homework?
8. Make it so that all schools have to set homework for each subject at the same time (make it one piece every 2-3 per subject for KS3, once every 2 weeks per subject for KS4 and only once a week per subject for A-levels)
9. Probably have more to add but oh well...
While kids shouldn't be overly stressed like puking for standardized testing and how broken it is in USA. Homework helps one learn if done RIGHT and REASONANLY.
What benifit does homework you did 5, 10, 15 or 20+ years ago at school have on your current work position? Not much I'd say, school is for school and after school is for learning life's social skills, building solid friendships and having fun. which, in my opinion is a lot more of a benifit in adulthood.
There's been tons of research done in regards to the schooling system. Homework, for one, has been shown time and time to have more cons than pros. Look at Finland, there student either never have homework or have homework for about 10 mins a day. These parents love applying pressure to their kids, often the pressure is unnecessary and causes the child both physical and mental issues. Like the mother said, she pressured her children so much, and her son didn't even get in. Homework, to extreme degrees (more than 30 mins) should be banned, because children and teenagers need to experience their youth. They need to get enough exercise and be healthy. What's the point of learning, graduating, getting tons of money, only for you to be left old with not many memories? Yes, you might enjoy life then, but you can't enjoy it to the same degree as when you had your health.
I think homework should be give on a regular schedule so students can plan when they do it rather than it being given out whenever the teacher feels like and it being due for the next day.
Yes, of course, I also think that it should be delivered on a regular schedule, so that a habit can be established in the students.
I think that homework should stay but there needs to be a big change in attitude as to how the UK views and treats Homework. There's too much on an emphasis on getting it "fully completed" regardless of what effort you had to put in to "fully complete" it. Some pupils might be able to get a Maths worksheet done in say under 30 minutes but for another pupils it might take them as much as 1 hour or more to do the same thing which at GCSE level and lower is unfair and they need to change it so that everyone has to work for a similar amount of time rather than being expected to complete a similar amount of work regardless of their ability. For GCSE level and lower pupils should be given different bits of homework based on their knowledge of the subject (especially in sets with mixed abilities) so someone who is really good at circle theorems should be given a different piece of HW to someone who isn't so good at the subject.
I learned NOTHING from homework
its useless and asking a kid thats in school and they will say its bad
not about learning, its about renforcing what you have learned so you can remember it and be more confident in it
We do 7 hours of work in school, that’s half the day wasted. Go home and have another 2 to 3 hours work possibly even more, that’s 10 hours of work in a day every 5 days were all teenagers, were all gonna end up having heart attacks in our 20s
The government brainwashes people into believing this is beneficial. It's obviously not.
Honework isn't that bad, not doing it gets you a 10 minute detention. GCSEs are the worst part by far. I just did mine and 23 exams in 3 weeks as a 16 year old is extremely pressuring and stressful.
Bro the only reason I passed my exams is because I did my homework only and no further studying.
I WannaCry I think a lot of us want to do better than just passing them
“Britain’s got no GCSEs”, already happening lol
I haven't even seen the full video yet and I already agree
Yes, comments about Finland in this comments section give me hope for this country!
As a student in HS, I don’t think HW should be banned. I feel like they should be limited yes, maybe 10-30 minutes a day. Mostly because for me, I feel like I would forget information once I get home. It’s a good way to apply the lessons you’ve learned on your own and teach you to be self-efficient remembering what you have to do that day.
HotTofu _ ColdTofu Does your school give out study guides?
I copied You Yeah they do. But we have to turn them in to be checked for a grade before we get them back for whatever we are studying for.
Why no just do all the work in school and and have your own time after? Isn't that the purpose of school?
I’m 13 and now go to a private school, so I get more homework than most schools- I get home at around 6pm from school and then have homework, so i don’t really get much spare time. However, i am fine with this because it will help me pass my GCSEs. I agree students are under quite a bit of stress to do well, but most adults say that it is the same for work
I'm at work and can proudly say we don't have it as half bad.
•Extend School Hours i.e. 9am -5pm

IDK (I would just make it so that you get 3 weeks off for Christmas and 3 weeks off for Easter (also add and extra week off in October so we don't have to go to school on Halloween))
Agree 100%
I would say testing students in school every week (not too much content) is better than giving students homework to do because you can tell if they are learning independently at home through looking at their results, whereas you give homework it's really hard to tell whether the student is learning or not because they could be copying off the internet, rushing or in other words completing the homework at a bare minimum which doesn't help them learn at all, whereas if you give your students the opportunity to do their own revision and asses them every week to see where they're at will give teachers a much clearer view to see if they are learning independently at home or not.
Personally , I will rather do a homework over taking a test because my disabilities has cause me to have a anxiety on test even if they aren't standardizing it. I think my approach of have a limited study program like 3 for elementary and 7 for secondary school is more effective approach. I do agree with your opinion . This might be important opinion . Also , the schools will also need to provide the accommodation and modification for those with disabilities. This is my opinion and do respect your opinion. I do usually understand the material and just get very anxious when it comes to test that for example like I got a 18 to 16 to 15 on ACT score yet I have scored good and got 3.72 GPA at my high school upon graduating on May 18, 2024 and did understand the material anyways despite my testing score on Act is poorly and also did well on Accuplacer which is alternative tests like a SAT, COMPASS , ASSET , and ACT . Also, The test can be cheated by a students leaking it online and How can you make sure everyone gets a different tests that stills teaches the same material at their respected grade level ? How are you certain that children who score lowed will study and improve ? Some people may view themself to be "dumb" or "idiot " or " stupid" because they score low on test which leads to low self-esteem and self-worth which may plausible be leading to depression and anxiety. Note : my school had the teachers come up with the homework policy which is usually no homework and it usually class works that you don't finished in classes and there isn't really an official due date and just don't get a Z or 0 in my school then you do fine. Also , there was also incentives parties which also promotes good attendance, behavior and homework even though they are not good nor bad.
Well thought out homework is absolutely brilliant. But most teachers just give out crapstain busy work
I really enjoyed homework when I was at school. Sure I don't know how to do shit now but thank god I had questions 1a-f, 2a-f, and 3a-f to fill up my time.
In all seriousness, homework is good for you to better understand the material taught in class. It builds your skill on that knowledge. However, the information you learn is only so you can pass your exams and after that, it's all forgotten. Kinda stupid to force kids to waste time on things they're not interested in, but because people are so totally different in how they learn and what they want to learn, it's difficult to build a curriculum that suits everyone. (Other problems come into play when you have schools competing against each other to get the best results and so drop any kid that begins to struggle in class. Kids with issues such as dyslexia can be failed by their schools.) So, homework is good, but there's just so much to think about with the education system and informing and nurturing young minds, it's difficult to find a solution to suit everyone's needs I guess. idk
@Speaking Truth Ah, I'm only 21 lol. At my school, the rule was students could only receive up to 3 pieces of homework a night (4 on a Friday) and each homework should take 20 minutes each to complete, but obviously that's only taking into account if you fully understood what you were taught and ignores the extra individual learning you had to do on your own if you didn't understand lmao. At A-Level it was 1 hour each to complete. I'm also a totally dysfunctional adult with no hobbies but that's because of a very controlling family + friends, who were also very competitive with me. I also come from a dirt poor family so there was nothing for me to do. I enjoyed homework but maybe that's because I had nothing to do. Lots of love to you. Hopefully we can overcome the anxiety. I have a teacher right now who has given me a shit load of films to watch to fill up my time. Trying to do some reading too and might pick up an instrument. Your school was obviously different to mine and I know my school worked its teachers into the ground and they all began to leave. The education system needs to be better but I suppose my personal experiences makes me look at my time doing homework differently. Kids deserve time to explore their interests. Schools prioritise maths and science but the arts are just as important. Intelligence is not measured by GCSE results and it's not only present in maths and science. Old Snobs need to recognise someone becomes a well-rounded individual by experiencing a multitude of things, not by sitting around looking at a piece of paper for a long time and struggling. Suddenly I've gone way off topic and ranted too much lmao the education system is just so fucked
bruh homework is just a waste of bullshit time, i don't learn anything from homework lmao
Simon Cowell is correct though homework created a shit tone of stress on me when you wanted to go out and do something you couldn’t since you had 4 pieces of homework to be done for the next day and then the teachers will still be pissed of at ya for not doing well in class even though you gave up most of your 7 hours for homework
I would vote for no homework whats the point of school if they do school work at home
Homework should stay, but it should be optional. Students shouldn’t be assigned tasks that are meant to be done at home and not given any in-class time to do it, other than in college and uni, then it’s fine and makes sense
super Jenius11 homework is optional, it isn’t compulsory, it is only made to appear as so due to the fear that is produced and instilled in the children generation after generation from the anger and punishments from the teachers on the children who haven’t done it, this is simply child abuse, deception & manipulation. Is it any wonder that more and more parents are home educating their children.
Schooling is not educating. Schooling is about minimal education while indoctrinating every generation into obeying all authority and in most cases it works, unfortunately.
Lazy Jesus I agree, I’m just saying that students are often assigned tasks that are meant to take 3-4 hours to complete but they’re only given the last half hour of the lesson to work on it and the rest is to be completed at home. That’s what I’m saying should be banned. They should be free to do the work at home if they want to, but still have enough time to complete it at school while working at an average pace. If they mess it up after that, then it’s their own damn fault.
@@probablynotyourdad4616 agreed
For sure ban it once you replace it with another form of introducing regiment to kids
True like youth clubs
They should have homework but just a little and not too much.
stress is like an alarm. it wakes me up and tells me to sort my pathetic life.
Extend the school day to 17:00 or at least 16:30 and there would be no need for homework. If school is meant to prepare young humans for the world of work then make it more like a full time job. The majority of workers don't get homework so why should schoolchildren. Let their free time be their free-time. Bonus: Reduces the need for child care if the school day more closely matches the work day.
Agreed
This show looks marvelous, should check it out.
Seriously, now I've heard everything!
What?
School : Bans homework.
Also School : Extends class.
Family time : 😕
There should be less homework not no homework. I honestly wouldn't have been able to memorize formulas and equations if I did not get a chance to practice the work and see what I had retained
Homework has been stressing me so it's true
The issue is not whether or not homework exists; kids will do it if they give a damn, and won't if they don't. There's no real punishment anyway. The point should be if its *worth doing* in the first place, and isn't just busywork or stuff that should have been taught at school in the first place.
I'd like to add that whether we have homework or not, the *knowledge-ceiling in schools needs to be lowered.* Things taught at 17/18 in western countries are taught at 14/15 and younger in other (usually asian) countries, so, *why aren't the US/UK etc. doing this too?* A childs brain isn't weaker when its younger, its stronger because its younger, and that is when we need to fill it with all the info and advanced ideas it will need for life as a whole.
Homework is just the tip of the iceberg.
In some USA schools homework completion is a major portion of the end term grade. So there is real punishment for not doing it. Historically, in the USA anyway, homework was intended to be practice to help students get a few more moments and "solidify" the information.
@@MarkBlance Judging by how the US School system is considered one of the worst in Western countries, clearly it's not working.
@@benkalem No argument from me. I believe that the poor education is done on purpose to help keep people easier to control. After protests for minority rights, gender rights, and against a war during the 1960s USA schools removed classes like civil liberties which taught those things. They also do not have any personal finance classes for similar reasons.
I come from a south asian background and I can ensure you that, homework for almost every south Asian household is like a battlefield. "No homework no food"
If homework is given then it should be set for older teenagers. And even then they shouldn't have loads. I've just finished my A levels and although home work was helpful , since we got set so much I wasn't able to put my full effort or even benefit from the practice since I had to get so much done. I think the point should be that homework is set in moderation for children who are old enough to actually benefit from it.
School is for work. Home is for sleeping. If i get work for home, i sleep in school. Homework doesn't teach anything, it just takes away valuable hours of a child's life, where they could be being creative or actually doing something which could one day help loads of people. All homework does is waste time, for both the student & teacher. End homework and then a child may find a way to cure cancer!
Streamr we already have cures for cancer. Look into CBD oil & cannabis cures cancer. It appears that most green fruits & vegetables are the key but in particular that which contains Cannabidiol discovered in the 1940’s.
Kept quiet because big pharma would go bust well things are now changing.
Usually me and my friends find the answers online so we are fine
It's the effort really
Haha yeah I remember we found a website that had the maths textbook answers
YES. And can you please make this retroactive to 1972? Thank you. 😀
I think homework serves a purpose, but that it's overdone and abused. Learning how to independently study and create is a good thing, but using it as a crutch for a poor curriculum just creates disdain and stress for the students. The goal should be to foster an interest in learning so that children will learn and create without being asked.
We aren't supposed to take work home at jobs as adults. We are only supposed to work so many hours a day as adults. Why put more pressure on kids?
Also, where I grew up a lot of parents kicked their kids out at 14 or 16. So trying to do a part time job, or full time if no one has a pt position, means quitting school just so you can live. If you are able to split time between going to school and working weekends or evenings then it's manageable. Same if a kid has a hobby, time outside of school helps develop the self. We aren't our grades or our jobs. It's easier to make decisions from a solid standpoint of knowing who you are and having time to consider questions like that.
Mom: Ummm
Lmaoo she making the quote of the day
Early years reading and writing isn't homework it's development. Revision isn't homework it's practice. Anything else is unnecessary. Especially with how they keep changing learning/teaching methods that the parents who are meant to help don't know or a subject that they are not knowledgeable in. As adults we don't retain information we no longer need which let's be honest is 90% of what we were taught in school.
A little bit of homework which involves activities is fun. But over all, it should be discouraged. Anything that could stress children should be discouraged
Homework is no good. Look at the Scandinavian counties. Best education system an they have no homework an only do about 4-5 hours a day.
I live in Norway. In elementary school (1st-7th grade) the short days (every day from 1st-4th grade, 2 days a week 5th-7th grade) were about 5 hours, and the long days (3 days a week 5th-7th grade) about 6 hours. Homework could take 2 hours several days a week from about 4th grade. The school days and homework is a bit different from school to school though.
Love what the teacher said. Real life homework with no marks.
Homework isn’t used in Sri Lanka and they get great results
the fact simon cowle of all people said this should tell you how true this is, i mean this is one of the biggest hard asses in the world and hes even saying homework is bad
YEAH NO HOMEWORK
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Social media should be banned
I Agree but we are on it right now 🥵🥶😰😥😢🥺
@@imanepink I know...boo hoo 🤣
I'd have banned it at my school as I never did it at home. So Thursday's homework would be enough for a weekend, only due next day, Friday. It would be 3-5 Teachers of all subjects. Even Teachers I didn't have that day would move homework to that night. Why? So they could mark on Friday & have the weekend off! It was terrible to me as I burnt out on Thursday, barley made it through Friday & start recovering late Sunday, school night! It was great for teachers, bad for me- still hate Mondays more.
Kids being required to do homework is one way to have kids learn that sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do.
Homework is not necessary for that particular lesson. The majority of of schooling is for that. Chores at home are for that. And, really, why would we want them to learn that anyway? It's a pretty negative lesson.
@@MarkBlance lifes pretty negative
Usually Id debate you in detail, but Im comfortable leaving it at you are an idiot..
Speaking Truth I hate homework so much.. I had to stay up till eleven once doing homework because I forgot and it was “so important”
coming from a student in yr 11 I dont think its even a question. homework allows you to revise what you have done in school so you dont forget or be prepared for the next lesson if you have not cover it yet. also I suggest students who complain they have too much homework which gives them "stress" to do it slowby in bits. no one is asking u to to it all at once!
Ibyunderworld Ali Agree so much with you! The students complaining are mostly those that are too lazy to open the book, and when they do they quickly move down the lines and give up.. Personally i feel more prepared for the next day after reading homework
There's a difference between revision and homework. I think the occasional project or homework in small amounts is acceptable plus optional revision which should be heavily encouraged.
Schools should up their game and offer more intense teaching, then there will be no need for homework
GOOD IDEA
In the real world, you go to work to do work. Then you come home and rest. Same should apply to school.
Yes, homework SHOULD be banned. It’s the stupidest and worst invention to ever exist in this world. All it does is cause stress and waste everyone’s time when they have better things to do. We should be doing schoolwork AT SCHOOL, not at home. This is why the majority of kids hate it and think it should be banned, and I agree with them. I don’t even think there’s such thing as a word to describe how much I hate it. It definitely needs to be banned in every country worldwide.
Not to mention that some countries like Finland, Japan and South Korea don’t have homework or have limitations but have a much higher success rate than others
did anyone else have homework where they used to have to put plastic covers on there school books? i know that it stops the school having to buy new books if yours get ruined but if it mattered that much couldn’t they have brought books with covers or like a folder to protect your work instead of me panicking in tesco because they sold out of plastic covers then getting told off because they run out
Aye, we had to do that back in the 90's too, I don't remember it being called homework though...
Homework is fine if its from time to time but the issue is by the time i got round to A levels i basked in the greatness of not having to do any and fucked them up. Homework is bad if its constant stress on kids. I think kids would be happier too.
"If school is not the place to sleep then home is not a place to work"
Doing Homework does not guarantee future success with jobs etc.
I will say. I had an undiagnosed learning disability. I much prefered in class work to homework. 🤷🏻♀️
Lolled carner at the end!
I really think no, it isn't necessary to prohibit them, I hate doing homework and it is an activity that bores me too much, so really what teachers should do is turn it into a didactic activity and that it doesn't take much time, really get down to think of something that motivates us.
Well for once I back what Simon said.
Extent the school day??? If the school day was any longer I'd never get through it
Loyle carner playing at the end >>>>
MY OLD LANGUAGE TEACHER OMG! 1:55
Does anyone know if "never voted" has been on tv before? I feel strongly like I have seen her on another show
Children do enough work in school so why send it home when they are supposed to be spending time with their family and havong a good time whilst out of school?
Makes me wonder why they don't just keep the kids at school in dorms 7 days if their telling everyone to do homework all weekend. It's retarded.
I'll happily go to school for 8-12hrs a day if it means I get no work when get home
When a child (mine) was sent home at the age of about 5 to practice his alphabet and started rattling off 'ah, buh, cuh, duh, eh' etc, I saw red. The next parent teacher night, I tackled the teacher about this and was told that this was the syllabus. Well I had to teach him it was A, B, C, D, E etc, NOT the fkin government way, so now ME, as a parent was doing the job that teachers were paid for to give him MY homework to learn the bloody language the correct way. Kids are being dumbed down nowadays, it doesn't take a genius to realize that. Homework is just added brainwashing. An adult finishes work, goes home and does what the hell they want, watch tv, have a shag, have dinner, go to the gym, go to bed or whatever. Why is that basic human right of freedom being taken away from kids? They learn WAY faster than adults in every way possible, hell there are kids in the world that have higher IQ's than 90% of the worlds population of adults.That has absolutely nothing to do with education in the terms that society refers to. It has to do with the child's interest. Teachers nowadays are not allowed to focus on that - just the curriculum of whatever government is in power. You get a kid interested in something and nothing in the world can tear them away from that.
