It's all for education





Today, we can see kids going to elementary school and coming back without homework. So, I can't understand where the homework is. A lot of kids between the 1st and 6th grade complete the little amount of homework they have in class. So, ironically, the homework is done in school. Eventually, the real question here is whether the homework really helps?

The question has many answers as this is an opinion question. We can’t really check if the homework helps in studying, therefore, we can suppose that the education level in elementary schools is low. So, it doesn’t matter if there is homework or there isn’t homework. Moreover, in a democratic country, we can let the kids choose to prepare homework or not .An example for this statement is the 11 year old Ben Berrafato who wrote an incredible essay about homework. I am sure that the large amount of homework didn’t help him in doing the essay and still it was an amazing one.Eventually, it is not homework that helps kids to study and get high grades, that’s the talent and skill which isn’t acquired from homework.

As a high school student, who went to elementary school and graduated with excellence. I can say that homework was just a waste of time for me. I got all of the lessons the first time. My classmates were that kind too, they got the lessons really fast. However, high school is another “playground”.You have to perpare homework or else you will fail. Eventually homework is just a waste of time in elementary school. Researchers suggest that kids without home work and kids with homework get the same grades.Moreover, kids without homework are more popular and the society treats them better.

Everyone is different, so every one needs a different kind of education. Different schools and high schools are the answer to the difference problem. Special school for every kinds(מיותר) of students, but until it happens, we need to live with what we have. Everyone is different, It’s all for education.
