Homework: Should homework be banned, or is it beneficial for learning?

Homework doesn't just teach the substance of the work -- although practice with learning seems vital enough, without more.

Homework also gets across something that many may need to know but might not wan't want to hear: success in life is usually obtained by working more than just a 9 to 5 day.

I believe you can ask practically any medical student or law student or engineering student or accounting student if real success is hard-earned, even for the unusually intelligent (as most chess players tend to be).

Is it possible to succeed without a lot of hard work -- well, sure, but it DOESN'T seem as likely.

Just "getting by" and not being willing to go the extra mile is a choice many make. But it's not usually the path to any real success.

Some might respond: well, I'll start working hard LATER -- YEARS from now.

But I think gaining self-discipline generally takes practice as much as any other skill does.

Of course, some may disagree and I could be wrong. But I hope kids take their homework seriously and put honest effort into it.

Life tends to respond to honest effort even more than to raw talent, even though there are few guarantees in life. So a certain amount of optimism -- even faith in one's own value and future -- is helpful.

What's your opinion peeps hehe...
im lucky i got 5% of the time home work on 1st grade but 2nd no home work 3rd....still going on, no specify of homework yet

It depends on who you are, in combination with context.
It's typically something where the more one tries to generalize, the vaguer things become.

I've studied many things, but hardly ever any more, or any better, through homework.
In my personal experience, other people's curriculae were mostly getting in my way.

So I've done lots of "work" at home, but it has never crossed my mind to call any of it "homework".
I guess I've simply worked all the time, without calling it that.
No one gave me any stars or stripes for it, but I did so all the same.

do u know what homework means????????????

Homework should not be banned because it helps students revise what they have learned in class. It builds discipline, time management, and responsibility. Even though my school doesn’t give homework :P
I believe it can be beneficial for students who are unable to keep up and it’s a great revision. It also helps teachers understand if students are keeping up with lessons.

So, here's some rando essay I wrote in 5th grade about Homework...

I believe that Elementary Schools should give students homework every 1 in 2 days.

Also, it's not AI, please stop the paranoia, this is one of the best essays I've ever written, and please don't brand it is AI.
Go check here if you're really not sure: www.zerogpt.com/
Yeah, this definitely doesn't sound like AI.
Uses 'I' a lot, says 'however' etc. , specific examples and such
It's not really paranoia, but fear that we'll start letting AI models do our thinking for us. Also, human-made stuff is just nicer to read. Comparing AI text to (good) human text is like comparing pineapple to pasta. There is a clear, cheesy winner.

Homework should have been banned when I entered the First Grade in 1971 because I don't like homework which was a good enough reason to pass legislation

Its good
But it can definitely be misused or be overused. Some homework is just too far. Like I dont need to complete 2 pages of novel questions to understand who the mc is. But rn most ppl are making children hate it which is bad. Also ignore my grammar (im saying this cuz @A0Coolboycolombo is here). So home can PMO. But ICL its beneficial to us. Also @ajfang pls SYBAU

In fact, homework varies from country to country, but its essence is to consolidate students. Knowledge in class after classHowever, the scope of this question is too broad, and there are no specific country restrictions, because the homework system and the degree of student participation are different in each country and between countries
