Homework No More?

According to Escudero, carrying heavy school bags to and from school can lead to fatigue, spinal diseases and other related problems among students. In this case, they will be able not to be worried in carrying too much paper works also by worrying on how to make their assignment or homework in a right way. Homework can also lead students to indirectly cheat and not do it by their own skills and ability. As some parents stated, “Ayos lang naman na mawala na rin ang pagkakaroon ng homework ng mga estudyante dahil minsan kaming mga magulang ang sumasalo nito. Minsan hindi naman nila ito ginagawa ng sila lamang. Pero ganoon pa man, nagiging paraan iyon para makapag bonding kami.” So, despite of having addintional activity, it also has a positive side from which it becomes the way of parents and the child to have bond and time together. Plus,  Basas, a former public school teacher of Baesa High School in Caloocan City, noted that doing homework teaches students not only about the subject, but also about good values. "Homework is not meant to make life difficult for our students," he said. Which actually means that it is only for the good of students.  

But still, we can not deny that homework helps the students to become more knowledgeable of what the teacher tackled inside the class. Plus, it is a way of teachers to make sure that the students really understands the topic that they have been discussed. In fact, when I was young, I really hate it when there is a homework, and to be honest, until now, I still hate it. But the thing is that, when I heard of the bill that have been proposed which was the “no home work policy”, it hit me. Things that immediately came in my mind; What if we are not yet ready to submit our activities? What if the 1 hour is not enough to pass the specific activities that has been given to us? Plus, how are we going to prove or show to our parents that we are doing something in school if we have to just do it inside the class? It will probably going to be hard for us. Yes, having no more homework is good, but we still can not deny that it still has a consequences.

Additionally, Kasilag observed that "we should prohibit what prevents them from learning, such as social media, untimely malling or computer games, but not homework." In this statement, the burden is not those assignments that has been given to you, but those things that you prefer to do than doing things that can enhance your skills especially in academics. Having no more homework surely has benefits, but it can also have a big impact on every students. But as for me, if you really want to learn, despite of having this policy in our country, you will do anything to understand every lessons or activities that have been given to you, because you give importance to it.

What matters is what every student possess

A lot of us already have heard about the "No-Homework Policy" as it drew attention of the students and teachers. It suggests that bringing and making homeworks at home is prohibited by the law as soon as it is approved. Well it is our nature to possess different opinions and arguments of whether we agree to what has been proposed. The "No-Homework Policy" just arised in the early moments of the start of the school year. This was considered as one of the controversial issues in the field of education.

Being a Senior High student is really a crucial stage of being a student. You'll be exposed to different tasks and activities regarding your chosen strand. It prepares you before entering to your college years. Being in this level would require you to manage your time and you should also be able to prioritize things based on how much is their importance. As for me, i strongly disagree to the proposal of this policy. Students don't have the ability to finish all their assigned task in school in a given short period of time. Giving assignments is a practice to better prepare themselves on the next day. It is just a matter of prioritizing and time management. Having a time with your family and doing homeworks is possible with the existence of the said values present in each student.

At the end of the day, success in every student matter with the positive values existing in them. It doesn't even matter if this bill is approved or not. As long as every student perseveres to acquire learning and knowledge then they will surely succeed. Their ability to learn new skills is also a factor and that is all that matters at the end of the day.
