To be honest, I do not believe that daily homework is necessary for students. In fact,I believe that it often has a negative effect. In my opinion, too much homework is a burden for students and it means that they have little time to do other things. Not only do students in China spend eight hours of every weekday in studying in school or university, but also they spend most evenings and weekends doing homework. There is a strong focus on academic study in China and most students are not able to participate in other activities. Yet, in my opinion, some of these activities have a positive influence on a person's development.
In the US, for example, students have much less homework and they spend their free time playing sports, participating in clubs, volunteering, and even having part-time jobs.From these activities, they learn many important life skills, such as teamwork, leadership,creative thinking, managing money, and being independent. They also get to experience fun, which is important because “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” When they graduate from university, they are well-prepared for life. Chinese students, on the other hand, often find it difficult to adapt to the sudden change.
However, the problem is not just the amount of daily homework; another issue is the inflexibility of daily homework. Since the homework must be completed on a certain day, students are not able to organize their own schedules. From my point of view,homework should be set weekly and students should be given the freedom to plan their timetable. This will teach them responsibility and they will learn how to manage their time efficiently, which is a vital skill for any job. In summary, I believe that assigning daily homework prevents students from becoming mature and responsible.
