Conclusion

In conclusion, Cooper found that students who completed Homework had better report cards and test results than those who didn't (1989 cited by Epstein & Van Voorhees 2001). Homework helps with making students accountable and taking ownership of their learning. Children need to understand the value of hard work and to form the obligation and self-regulation to commit to their projects and see them through. Homework can help students form a hardy work ethic that they will take with them to college and beyond, from kindergarten to senior year, kids and teens struggle to manage time and prioritize their to-do list. For young children, parents tend to these assignments to guide kids to develop this important skill. The goal for high school students means eventually learning how to manage multiple tasks to fit it in their schedule, and plan which will take longer or shorter depending on their skill level, strengths, or weaknesses
