There's much controversy about the necessity of daily homework for students. Some say homework is necessary since only practice makes perfect, while others disagree because they believe a student should have the freedom to study whatever in whatever forms just as he/she likes to.

In my opinion, daily homework is necessary for students. First, a teacher could assign homework as a guide for the students to study. To learn something. A student needs help of a teacher because he/she does not have an overall understanding of the knowledge he is going to study as the teacher.

This means, at the begining, a student could not well plan his/her study, just as a kid who is for the first time in a swimming pool could do nothing but play with water. And a teacher could make a good study plan for him/her, so that he/she could learn efficiently.

Secondly, Sometimes, even when a student, especially a young one, has already understand what he/she should do in order to master some skill or knowledge, he/she is still unwilling to do this for the lack of motivation. Hey, don't tell me that you have never been lazy at all when you were young. Some homework could function as a task for the student to perform which is helpful to motivate
him/her.

Thirdly, homework is an important form of feedback for a teacher to understand the
effectivity of his/her work. As I have mentioned before, a teacher makes a study plan for the students; but does it really work? or does it work for all the students? It's not difficult to know this only if the teacher pay some attention to the homework of the students. Then he/she may be able to find if there's some problems in his/her teaching, and make corresponding adjustment of his/her teaching, either for all the students or for a single one. Without some feedback, it is impossible for the teacher to do this. A test is also a good form of feedback, but obviously one or two tests are not enough, and sometimes this kind of feedback just comes to late.

However, This conclusion might be misleading that one may believe all forms of homework are necessary. Actually, only proper amount of homework in proper forms is acceptable; some homework may not only fail to help the students, but on contrary bore them, so much so that they may lose their innate interest to study. "Proper" homework, in my opionion, should vary in its forms; it might be some extensive reading, a paper, or even just a game, as well as other ordinary excercises.

And it should leave enough freedom to the students so that they could do things they really like to do with self-motivation, rather than unwillingness. We should always remember that homework is something for us to guide the students, rather than drive them. Only if a teacher keep this in his/her mind, the homework could be of most help to the students.

"You must finish your assignment when coming back from school,"my mother always told me when I was a child. Therefore, I am used to doing my homework as my first thing at home.

According to my habits and fondness I am unanimous with this statement that teacher assign homework everyday. Maybe others hate doing homework everyday because they take it as a burden which will reduce their time for playing games. Here!Let me tell you why I advocate it.

The main reason is that teachers assigning homework everyday really helps me go over my lessons I have had on class. Through my homework I can understand the knowledge by myself and get what the teacher said the most important things in order in my brain. I really liked playing and postponed homework to the next day. Woo! That realize an old saying "Bite more than you can chew" .

Another reason is that completing homework everday will help to raise habit that everyone need think in his/her own way independently.What teacher teaches us is just their understanding track and what we gain on class is just others' experience.

What I discussed above is just two points of many persuasive ones. To some extent,we may obey the rule--"Always work and study makes Jack a dull boy".

But if all these factors are contemplated the advantage of asigning homework everyday carry more weight than those of the opposite one.What I agree with is just personal idea.Maybe you can remember this word."Going over what you've learned will give you more new knowledge."
