<strong>Should</strong> <strong>we</strong> <strong>reduce</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>amount</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>homework</strong>?<br />
2<br />
Competencies are what <strong>the</strong>y will need in <strong>the</strong>ir daily lives. By doing<br />
<strong>homework</strong>, students are preparing for <strong>the</strong> next school day. It is very<br />
important for children and parents to find adequate time to write<br />
<strong>homework</strong>. This should be <strong>the</strong> time when all <strong>the</strong> physiological needs<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> child are met and <strong>the</strong>y have enough concentration to solve<br />
<strong>the</strong> tasks before it. Forcing a child to write <strong>homework</strong>, when she<br />
does not want to do it for some justified reasons, parents demotivate<br />
a child, and sometimes frustration and conflict arise because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
lack <strong>of</strong> understanding bet<strong>we</strong>en <strong>the</strong>m. That is why nei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> child<br />
nor <strong>the</strong> parents receive anything, only increases <strong>the</strong> mutual<br />
intolerance towards <strong>the</strong> domestic task, which certainly should not<br />
and should come. Many children, who have no motivation to write<br />
<strong>homework</strong>, are insecure in <strong>the</strong>mselves and <strong>the</strong>ir ability to achieve<br />
success in anything that has to do with school. They need to be<br />
encouraged and supported by <strong>the</strong> people <strong>the</strong>y are most concerned<br />
about, and <strong>the</strong>y are <strong>the</strong>ir parents.<br />
Writing <strong>homework</strong> assigns students learn how to work<br />
independently. In case <strong>of</strong> difficulties in solving school assignments,<br />
students ask for help from teachers or o<strong>the</strong>r students. It is <strong>of</strong>ten <strong>the</strong><br />
task and <strong>the</strong> default that <strong>the</strong> students do not solve <strong>the</strong>m individually,<br />
but in a pair or group. That is why <strong>the</strong> <strong>homework</strong> is also conceived<br />
that students are usually obliged to solve it independently, without<br />
relying on <strong>the</strong> help <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs. Ho<strong>we</strong>ver, <strong>the</strong>ir parents <strong>of</strong>ten fall into<br />
that trap, helping <strong>the</strong>ir students solve <strong>the</strong>ir tasks in ways <strong>the</strong>y should<br />
not. Parents sometimes have no patience to wait and see how <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
child is struggling with <strong>the</strong>ir job. Thinking to help this child, some<br />
parents decide to complete <strong>the</strong>ir task alone. Ho<strong>we</strong>ver, <strong>the</strong>ir purpose<br />
is lost. "Children will not be able to practice and experiment with<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir ability, to learn, and to demonstrate whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y truly<br />
understand <strong>the</strong> teaching content (or some <strong>of</strong> its parts).
