The Solution to Homework

Today in class we had a discussion about whatever we wanted to talk about. Some of the topics in which we talked about were the beach, the pros and cons of relationships and one of the other topics was homework. As we were disscussing Geoff came up with what some people thought an unrealistic idea to solve the homework problem but I sort of like it and think it has a slim shot of working. The solution was to instead of assign homework every night to rather give a ungraded quiz at the end of each class and then have the teachers look over them to see what subjects need to be gone over in the next class. This would benefit the students because instead of going home exhausted from a hard day at school and dreading homework it would give them a chance to relax and reflect on the day. Plus it would teach them how to manage their time and when to review becasue in the real world people aren't going to be checking if you are doing your work all they are going to care about is the final project. I know when I go home I am pretty teird from practice and I really don't want to do any of my homework but I know that if I don't do it then I wont get a good grade in the class so I usually rush over it fast and not do the best job I can. If teachers didn't assign homework in the first place then this situation would never happen and everyone would be happy. The students would be happy because they wouldn't have any work to do at night and on the weekends unless they choose to and the teachers wouldn't have to worry about grading anything when they also get home.
