The 11 year old Ben Berrafato, has raised an interesting question regarding the value of doing homework. According to Berrafato, homework is another form of slavery, since it is given without the students' permission, and therefore, homework should be against the law. Berrafato's claim present the issue of whether it is necesary to give student's homework or not.
First, homework gives you the opportunity to review and reinforce the studies material.
Several studies have shown that in order to really internalize a fact it must be reviewed over and over again. Furthemore, doing more practice can give you more confidence, in terms of understanding the matirial. Finally, doing homework is a chance for the student to see if he has difficulties in understanding the different subjects he is learning in class.
To sum up, homework is not such bad thing for the student because it reaforces his knowledge and his understanding. In my opinion, I would suggest that teachers give homework but not too much because, after all, students need some free time.
Well done! It's short, but very well put. (95)
