Homework, in my opinion, is something that can help students further their understanding of a subject, reiterate information learned in class, help students practice numerous skills, like reading and writing, and allow students to show their creativity, as well as knowledge of different topics and subjects. Students, however, are usually turned off by homework and only do what is needed to get a "decent" grade. I think homework needs to be reiterated as a positive tool to students and homework will become an effective way to teach students outside of the classroom, as well as help students identify what they know, or do not know.

I also believe that nowadays, most students do not do homework at home. Rather students complete homework during lunch, before classes begin, on the bus, at after-school activities, etc., which usually only allows students maybe 5-60 minutes to complete assignments that may need 2-3 hours to truly complete and understand. I believe that if students spent more time at home completing assignments, instead of rushing to complete assignments before going to class, after class, in between class, or before an activity, students may hand in better assignments and comprehend the importance of homework more.

Overall, I believe that more has to be done to emphasize the importance of homework. Also, I believe that teachers need to find more creative, fun ways to encouarge students to complete assignments.
