overly reliant on technology
I can see this.
While some might have a quiet space and access to the internet, others might struggle with distractions and lack of resources
Another thing to think about: An assignment that takes one student 30 min might take another 1 hour. This doesnt indicate how smart they are but different people work at different paces.
practice makes perfect
PERFECT practice makes perfect. We have to ensure students are practicing correctly otherwise misconceptions will form
They teach you to prioritize tasks, manage your schedule, and balance academic responsibilities with personal commitments.
AGREED!! However- I beleive if upper level students in grade school should be able to get their work done in class with time management, if not, its homework.
busywork
I agree depending on what is assigned. Homework that is not essential to a students learning is busy work to me. EX: unecessary packets, word searches, crosswords, or things with little academic thinking involved.
structured assignments can actually help reduce stress by providing a clear learning roadmap and keeping students engaged with the material.
I can totally see how explicit instructions would be helpful regarding homework. This helps cut down the confusion students might have about how to complete their homework which boosts productivity.
While these tools can be a godsend for quick answers and assistance, they can also undermine the personal effort and critical thinking necessary to truly understand the material.
I agree that these tools can undermine effective learning if used incorrectly. However, I strongly beleive if we teach students ethical and productive ways to use AI, we set them up for success. After all, our technology world is evolving.
totall agree!
This can promote student interest too!
SO TRUE!
can help with self identity too!
Dual language book- Super cool! You dont really see those often
Student representation is so important and can give students a sense of belonging!
not have home lives that are conducive to the demands that homework requires
Yes! We have to think about students home lives.
homework for students is like practice for athletes: it reinforces concepts and the neural pathways a student has used during class.
"practice makes permanent"... How do we ensure students are practicing correctly?
has already learned in clas
SO IMPORTANT!!! We can't expect students to teach themselves! They must show proficiency before practice is sent home.
So a fifth grader would have 50 minutes of assigned work.
Homework that takes one student 50 mins might take another 2 hours. People work at different paces.
Parents feel like their children need homework to solidify concepts learned in the classroom.Some parents also advocate for the time management, organization, and structure that homework can teach children.
I can see both of these points. The argument I have for them are.. 1. When homework is sent home, teachers can ensure students are the ones doing it or how much help they are recieving. Also if they are practicing correctly. 2. Time management and organization can be learned in the classroom with routines and expectations.
saving the time their students have at home for family bonding and other activities.
Not to mention if they have multiple siblings and they're in extracurriculars. That can get to be a lot for students and families!
homework has actually been a widely debated topic since its inception in the 19th century
Very interesting. I thought homework was a norm for a long time.
relevancy of the work to both the students’ age and learning level
Relevance is so important!!! If the content being sent home is not essential to students learning, why are they doing it? As for age, I think that ties in with levels of responsibility. I'd feel much more confident that I would get papers back from upper elementary students opposed to lower elementary students.
