Homework is useful to inform teachers of the students’ weaknesses in certain topics, giving them a chance to improve and acquire new skills. If there is no homework, teachers would have to base majority of the students’ standards on tests alone, which is not reliable at times. In fact, teachers should plan lessons according to the students’ abilities; this can be effective as students will be able to learn more efficiently and not do the same homework planned for the whole level. It will be of not much use as it does not cater to the students’ needs. However, we understand that the undesirable situation is present, especially in Singapore schools where students are ‘spammed’ with homework and not given any leisure time. But keep in mind that this situation does not happen across the globe. Actually, we should ‘blame’ those teachers that are not that receptive to ideas and refuse to cut down the workload. Only real (caring) teachers will change for the students.
