Those days are days I will never forget in a hurry even at this very age that I am now because they were dreadful days. In fact I use to feel so down in the classroom once the teacher mentions where and where the homework are coming from our textbooks 📚. And then I knew I was not the only one who hates homework because its that engagement that never allows one to rest nor have fun even after school.
And the double pain to homework is the cane that one receives if you did not do your homework properly the way the teacher expects you to do them. I suffered so terribly in the hands of my mathematics 🧮 teacher my primary school days due to how mathematics was a big problem to me among other subjects. I will never forget this very wicked man called Mr Cane because of how he loves to flog pupils. Many of us will make sure visit each other to do a seat 💺 together homework, especially with those who are better than us to enable us escape Mr Cane for that day. They were not funny 😆 days indeed.
And should I say these teachers were wicked or helpful? Why should they always schedule the homework giving to pupils from what have not been taught in the class? Should I see it now as a way to improve pupils learning experience, know those who are intelligent than others or a way to help themselves as teachers finish up the given syllabus for the certain term before term ends whether pupils understand the topics?
Many of us in those days will always struggle with most homework making sure to learn things on our if our siblings are not their to guide us. But for this recent times things have changed a lot because we as parents has seen how it’s important to help our children during their school days by doing their homework for them or employing the services of a home teacher who teaches them ahead of the school syllabus and help through their homework.
Homework despite a big problem to many of us during our school days, I see it now as a method that has been established beyond classroom teaching. In more understanding, its another way the school management and teachers device to help the children 👦 to know more on what that have been taught in the classroom or a way to make children learn consistently even while out of classroom.
Since this homework sometimes involves parents teaching their wards or involving the services of a teacher, it has created an opportunity for a one on one teaching which makes it a more clearer method of explaining a topic to a child which brings better understanding since classroom teaching can be difficult 😞 and hard for some to comprehend. Furthermore, homework is very important to enable parents know some of the work the teachers does at school through the explanations they do which sometimes is hard for the children because the teacher can not explain it to the children one by one, but when it is one on one at home either by the parent or a home lesson teacher , the child might grasp it. This is an Avenue that helps children learn more since they will learn from their parents at home and their teacher in the classroom.
Homework is very important and an advantage to many parents who labour to send their children to school because many children are forced to do their homework, knowing they must present it to their teachers the next day or face their flogging if they fail. Its also a way to develop many serious pupils into becoming so brilliant through out of the classroom learning as many reads on their own as time goes knowing that there will be challenges as one gets to higher classes .
In conclusion, homework is very necessary and a good method in learning process to help prepare children for their future. Many of this kids might not take their education important if homework is stooped because classroom teaching is a process many can not learn well from but needs an at home learning to catch up especially in schools and classrooms where children are so much. If there is no homework, many children will be a fail.
