Many teachers assign homework every night, but is there a meaning to the madness? Although some educators may argue that the repetitiveness engraves it into your mind, I would have to say that I disagree. For me, homework is just a hassle, and an excuse for teachers to try to teach you more that what will fit into their class periods. Awkward sentence. Homework can also discourage students by knowing that they have a ton of work and them just finding a way to cheat on it, instead of actually doing the homework and learning the material. Homework also takes away from necessary social time, which is crucial for a child's mental growth, and social skills. Homework should not be given because it is sometimes used to teach, instead of for review, it can discourage students, and takes away from crucial social time.
             Homework for some teachers is just a way for students to learn something without having had it discussed and taught to them first. Now I'm not saying that it's all teachers use a (,) comma before a conjunction. but, there are those select few who are more like a babysitter that an educator. I mean that as in, they would rather just show up, pop in a videotape and give a test making the student teach themselves at home, making it an oxymoron for them to call themselves "teachers". Those "teachers" should not be allowed allowed to give homework.
             I also believe that homework can also discourage students from actually practicing the material and perfecting the skill. Good specific. For example, I have had math teachers give over 50 problems for one night, and not simple math like two plus two, the hard, fifteen to twenty-step problems. This often discouraged me from actually learning the material, and I end up copying the answers out of the back of the book, so that I could get out of the house that day. In turn I did not learn the material because I was intimidated by the massive load of homework placed placed up
