When a system is working normally, allowing one to put an end to the former one is not the best and the system would be ruined forever or for life.
Education is a system that has been on the ground for so many decades, and the methods of giving assignments are just the best, if I can say. I don't think someone would dispute this fact. I have been in a school and every one of us has passed out of a school. We all know how it's been run and how our teachers do give us a load of questions for assignments.
When I was in secondary school, most of my colleagues in class always ran away from attending Mathematics assignments just because of the load of work our teacher always gave to us. He's the type of person who wants us to work, but not to remain glued to not doing assignments. He always gives us too many assignments, which always make most of my colleagues grumble.
Students remain who they are, they would love it when there is nothing like an assignment. This is what they are in for at all times.
Mathematics teachers, in a real fact, always give more than what he or she had taught in the class. Every so often, the assignment may not be a replica of what they had taught us. They always want to give difficult questions, forgetting the fact that only a few students know the answers.
This is one good reason why students always tag mathematics teachers as wicked teachers. Most of them are truly wicked, as they say, just because of the way they react.
My husband is a Mathematics teacher, and I know how he always complains about his immediate students. According to him, a few of his students do not want assignments. They only want everything done in the classroom. Although my husband is not wicked to his students as being mathematics teacher.
If everything that happened in the school only ended in the school, then the world would not be a better place to be. Most students will not know the concepts and will always inculcate the habit of playing around in their various houses.
To be sincere, there are reasons for giving students assignments. Part of the reasons are:
For the students' understanding: This will help the students understand the concept of what is being taught. Most students may still not get the process of what is being given to them until they solve more problems at home for better understanding.
To cage students from playing around: Most times when the students get home, they tend to go to the field or play around their houses, either watching TV or playing video games. To curb these acts, assignments are given to make them less playful.
I have seen students play and forget their assignments. When this kind of student arrives at school, he or she is always dealt with severely.
Neglecting assignments will inevitably and profoundly undermine the entire educational system. The educational system has been built to suit the standard of giving assignments, and when this is ignored, things will indeed go the wrong way. Our children will not be so grounded in their respective subjects in schools. I just hope that this remains intact.
