Nowadays they are giving homework even during the holidays and I hate that very much. But I think there
is a reason for it. Homework is given so that we can remember whatever we have learnt. Regular drilling and
repetition make perfect. But teachers have started to give too much homework. Anything in excess (过度) is
bad. So homework should be given with the idea of giving students a practice and not to overwork them.

What's the use of just homework without allowing children to get an insight (洞察) into the subject? It just
makes them bookworms but nothing else. Homework such as writing some things 5 times at home will just
make them memorize things but not put them into use. I regret to say that teachers find it easy to bundle (归拢)
the children with homework rather than making them get interested to understand what they learn. The same
trend continues even in college. I find that most of the so-called high scorers are unable to answer simple things
in an interview.

It is OK to give homework. But it should be given less. We are spending most of our time in school and at
least we must be free in our home. If you give homework, we will be very tired and we wouldn't be able to
pay attention to extra-curricular (课外的) activities, which in turn may affect our physical and mental health.
So please give less homework to us.

It is part of our work to give students homework. There will be some punishments if we won't do our
work. So I have to do that though I know such a teacher is not liked by students.
