I know as a kid, and now probably too, that I would of preferred to of stayed in school for an extra hour or two and do home work so that when I go home I didn't have any homework. For god sakes, the typical school schedule almost has a built in slot for it already. 9-5 is the typical adult work day, 9-3 is the typical school day. If we could synchronize the two and make it 9-5 for both of them, it would probably work better for both groups of people's schedules!
Adults today don't like doing their equivalent homework either. Most adults dislike bringing extra work home with them, taking phone calls outside of work hours and talk on and on about work/life balance and so on.
Also for kids who don't have environments conductive to studying at home would do better too. If they don't have a computer at home, they don't have stable, quiet environment to study in, or they're parents are clueless, they would all benefit staying at school to do their 'home work'. Often schools cannot let the kids stay for an extra amount of time, since computer labs would close down, staff often lock the school and do not have the time to supervise the kids.
- kellishaver 16y agoMy daughter is 8 and has to take the late bus home, due to our work schedules, giving her about 45 minutes of waiting around after school for the bus. At the suggestion of her teacher, she's gotten into the habit of going to the library and doing her homework there, before she even leaves. There are a few computers in the library to use and there's a teacher around to help answer questions. She does the work there, then brings it home and we check over it. It's a good balance of self-discipline and supervision, I think. In fact, giving her the freedom to initiate the "doing homework" on her own rather than having me tell her to do it when she gets home has been good for her. It's nice to see her taking responsibility of her own accord.
