Children will learn more if they enjoying their life




 Children will learn more if they enjoying their life

       Today, children always feel tired and stressful; even sometimes, they always said, “ I usually feel unhappy, but it isn’t something around me.” I got some information from the Internet , which is that most parents had a  complaint about the children’s homework. I think those children born in this generation are the more different from the children born in the past time. However, some students have a lot of homework;they do their homework when they go back home until the midnight. On the other hand, more and more teachers want to give student much homework as practice, but they never thought about whether they could remember all of it? Many people are arguing about whether there is too much homework or too little, or whether the students really need homework(Strauss,2009). 

      I think students need more good practice and skills during the class. when children do much homework, it causes them to be unable to have their own space to create some new event. In my opinion, children need some time to create. They could not only pay attention to their homework, if they cannot sleep well; a consequence is that they will not have a good health. On other hand, if they do not have good skills and did not create anything by themselves, it will be a problem in the future. 

The first reason that children could not to do a lot at home is that they need to sleep well. Health is an important thing for everyone. Children are in a time when they are growing up, if they cannot sleep well, they cannot grow enough, and other health problems will come. And ‘’American association ‘’ pinned homework and child labor as leading killers of children who contracted tuberculosis and heart disease’’(Strauss, 2006 para.  6). I had an experience studying in my high school; I just slept for five hours. From my experience, a student cannot have a good rest; they will not have a good condition in the next day class. Students really need good health. 

Many students only pay attention to their homework; they do not know how to open their mind or how to create new interesting things. I think students’ studying in class that is better than doing a lot of homework at home. However, a teacher’s job is to help students to study well. a teacher has to teach student what should they do, and open their mind. A Teacher has to act in a role to lead the student. When the students get what the teacher thought about during the class, they could use the knowledge to create another new event when they go back home after school. For example, when students study in my country, they are only have time to do to the homework.  Even sometimes one book of the homework seeks like a dictionary, but they have to finish not only on the ‘’dictionary” during one night. I think students have to develop creative ability, so they can more flexible in their study or work in the future. Children need to belong to themselves more.

However, some teachers think that they just want to give an opportunity for students to improve their study ability, and some parents think it is right, it has a lot of benefits for their children. But I do not think it is right;and other people also think it is not good ‘’what is perhaps more important, he said, is that most teachers get little or no training on how to create homework assignments that advance learning. (Strauss, 2006, p.1).   I agree with this opinion, because if a student gets the homework from the teacher which has not been done well by the teacher, that will be a terrible for students. They also cannot give the student enough skills and the basic practice.

In conclusion, students need homework to review what they have already studied, they should not really have to do a lot of the homework. They need more space belonging to themselves, if like that, they can show some ability the parents and teacher never knows. If they have good health, they can study well; the parents and teacher need to pay more attention to their growth, skills and creative ability. If they can enjoy themselves, they should be growing up well.
