different opinions on homework(对作业的不同看法)

1 / 3 Different Opinions on Homework(对作业的不同看法 ) Different Opinions on Homework The conflict over what or how much homework should be comes partly from the fact that people cant seem to agree on the purpose of homework. What do teachers think? Some teachers think that homework is necessary to reinforce what is learned in school. And so they ask their students to memorize what was discussed in class through homework.

Other teachers like homework simply because they want students to form work habits and still others believe homework is necessary because it is the best way for parents to learn what their children do in school. Parents opinions? But many parents seem to have different ideas. Elissa Cohen, who has twins at Lafayette Elementary School, doesnt like the fact that 2 / 3 the third-grade students in elementary schools are asked to write about 25 book summaries a year. They do the same thing over and over without really getting into altertnate ways of thinking about books and thinking about reading and writing. Experts opinions? Some education reformers, such as Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor, well-known for his theory on multiple intelligence, think that Cohen is on the right track. But it is often hard to persuade overworked teachers to give much thought to homework tasks. 对作业的不同看法 关于应该留什么样的作业或者留多少作业的争论，部分源自于人们似乎无法就作业的目的达成一致这一事实。 老师们怎么想呢 ?有些老师认为需要作业来巩固在学校中学到的知识，所以他们让学生通过作业记住课堂讨论。有些老师认为作业的意义在于覆盖那些课堂上无暇涉及的 知识，所以他们留的作业是让学生学习额外的知识。 另外有些老师喜欢留作业就是
