Why Millions of Teens Can't Finish Their Homework - The Atlantic

Why Millions of Teens Can't Finish Their Homework - The Atlantic | eflclassroom | Scoop.it
In decades past, students needed little more than paper, pencils, and time to get their schoolwork done. For the vast majority of students, that's no longer the case. Most schoolwork these days necessitates a computer and an internet connection, and that includes work to be done at home. One federal survey found that 70 percent of American teachers  assign homework that needs to be done online; 90 percent of high schoolers say they have to do internet-based homework at least a few times a month. Nearly half of all students say they get such assignments daily or almost daily.

I do not completely agree with this news article but homework is what student refer to as a chore. Homework takes up a large part of our time after school. As if afternoon lessons and cca are not enough, we have the added burden of having extra homework to do. Added with the tests we have to study for, we hardly have time to rest. Homework is useful as we can self study and learn to be independent when we tackle questions asked. For example, when a math homeowrk is assigned, i try to answer the question myself but if i cannot get the answer, i will ask my friends. asking the teacher is the last resort. However, there is a certain limit as to how much homework should be given to students.
