This is a fairly complex topic. In my youth, I certainly didn't enjoy homework. Even in subjects I was passionate about. I much rather study the topics that interested me in my own way and pace than doing assigned problems from a textbook. Even if that meant doing all the problems from the textbook lol
More recently I discovered that the school I went to abolished homework. Kids there are supposed to complete all school activities within the allotted school time only.
However, homework may be valuable in the case where the student would otherwise not study on their own...
- derbOac 4y agoIt's complicated further now by gamification. My daughter's school doesn't assign homework until a certain grade, and minimally at all. But they're encouraged to use many apps on different subjects that are structured as games, which she really likes. Reading this post, I realized it's very fuzzy whether she's doing homework: she's not doing it in the traditional sense, but if you include these apps, which cover all the same content, she's doing them all the time.
