Homework’ is the assignment given to students by their teachers in school, which is to be done at home, not in school. Basically reading and writing work are given to students, but other creative and experimental tasks like preparing projects, field and research works et cetera also should be given. Homework is an inseparable part of student life. It is essential for students as it develops in students the habit of reading, writing, practicing, and as a whole utilising time in academic pursuits.

Home work helps in continuous revision of study materials. Students reflect their strength and weaknesses in their home work, which in turn also helps the teachers to understand their problems and will aid in solving these problems.

However, sometimes teachers give very less homework as a result students become lazy, while some teachers give too much that students are unable to bear the burden. There should be proper system of giving homework and homework should also be creative. Only learning by heart and bookish type will not help develop the personality of students.

Just doing our homework and not sparing time for other activities is not good. It affects our body and mind. We must have proper rest, sleep and exercise. We should be able to strike a balance. Then only will our life prosper.
