Chalk Talk: The Growing Debate About Homework
There are increasingly common discussions among educational experts about the value of homework. Many of these experts believe that homework is overrated. There are a number of reasons for this. First, after a full day of school, kids are burned out when they get home, especially if they are involved in clubs, sports, or other activities. They just don’t have the mental energy or willpower to put their full effort into homework. Second, experts cite several studies that show that kids with a heavy load of homework rate their school experience lower than their peers. If homework contributes to a negative view of education, the danger of further burning students out is very real. Lastly, many homework critics decry it as busywork with little value. If students don’t see the benefit of spending time at home working on schoolwork, they are far less likely to do it, let alone do it well.
