答案 Is daily homework necessary for students?
    For students the only good homework is no homework. This has been a truism as long as schools have existed. However, the practice of newly acquired knowledge and the preparation for new lessons are essential parts of the learning process. Teachers understand this and give assignments accordingly. Nevertheless, there is such a thing as too much homework. Whether daily homework is useful or not depends on the age of students and the subjects in which the work is assigned, and teachers also have to take into account the possible negative effects of overwork.
    The age of a student or, better yet, the stage of the personal development of a student has to be considered when deciding on the amount of homework assigned. Elementary school students respond differently to daily homework than high school students. They are more limited in their ability to concentrate on a subject and take in knowledge. These are skills that are developed over time. In addition, they will need to learn other important lessons, for example, how to interact socially and behave in a group of their peers. Thus, instead of daily homework, these students need time to play with their friends.
    The need for daily homework also differs from subject to subject. For example, in the areas of mathematics and languages continuous engagement with the subject matter is necessary, because it allows a student to internalize important concepts and mechanisms. In the field of history, on the other hand, it is more important that students grasp greater concepts. Memorizing dates and places is important, surely, but, if forgotten, these can always be looked up in the textbook. In these subjects daily homework is not only unnecessary but it might discourage students from taking an interest in the topic.
    After all, learning is largely a voluntary activity, and teachers have to consider the possibility that too much homework will frustrate students. As a result, students might become less interested in the subject or less willing to learn. Consequently, the good intentions of their teachers could very well have the opposite effect: students will learn less.
