Argumentative Essay: Homework Benefits Students

I wrote this in English class last year, I didn't have many choices. So I picked this. lol

Argumentative Essay

Did you know homework helps students do better in school? Some students that are being taught in class don’t understand and they won’t admit it. When the teacher then assigns homework the students that don’t understand ask for extra help. Once they get it, the students can do the homework for practice. Teachers only assign homework to see what the students understand and what they don’t. Homework then approves the student’s skills in understanding. Homework shouldn’t be banned.

The first reason is it's proven that homework does help learning. “At Duke University, Harris Cooper tells CBS News his research has shown that homework does help learning.” “Homework has good change when educators know it, says professor Cooper.” Homework improves students minds and gives them practice on what they understand.

Secondly homework helps students understand more. When students don’t get their work done during school, they should do it for homework and be all caught up the next day. The private “French-language Giles School in Toronto” is the place of homework, the school says homework is the “academic excellence.” Homework really helps students get caught up and have a better understanding.

Homework won’t help students who don’t do it because of their bad attitude towards homework, but homework improves students who are positive about it. All homework assignments will help students who try, if their is a student who won’t do it, there is always a way to get them to like it. All students must do homework if assigned because it will help everyone.

The last reason is homework helps students benefit more in school and increases their skills. At the “University of Missouri” studies show high school students do better at a certain subject when assigned homework. It wasn't the same with middle school students, their score wasn’t as high, but homework still helps them. Homework increases the student's ability to understand more of the subject.

The more schools that assign homework their student’s skills will increase. The schools that stop assigning homework will decrease their student’s understanding. Homework shouldn’t be banned because all students benefit greatly from it.

This essay sound very interesting to me. First of all I don't know there is some band on home works . I can totally agree with you. Yes homework does improve students skills. When you make home work You are usually alone. So you can work more independently. You have more time to explore subjects and You are also more relax and focus. I mean that's my observation when I was in the school. Actually I am now going every day into Learning Centrum for Adults . So I am kind of still in school. That,s remains me. I should make my home work into English class. Keep nice work and one day , your writing English will be perfect . And You will write amazing stories. Have nice evening. OUTSIDER.

I didnt like getting up early every Monday morning to do homework that wasn't done over the weekend because I was having too much fun but doing it that way really helped me to be able to work under pressure and to become very creative when coming up with excuses for not doing it ! lol
I believe the onus on homework has shifted somewhat to coursework during school time (at least it has here in Ireland) which is a pity because I do think homework helped a lot.

That's good.
