Due to the importance of education there is always a debate on how best to teach. The biggest discussion point is homework. Even though it sometimes can apply too much pressure on the students, it helps process the materials better and prepares students for adult life.

One of the main drawback of homework is the amount of time and effort it usually requiers. In a lot of schools homework takes at least several hours to do which can be a lot after a long school day. Another issue with homework are the mark that students get because the can affect a mental health of a developing child a lot.

However, homework can help students work on their skills and give a deeper understanding of the subject in question. Homework can be very helpful when a student is sick or absent in the class to process all the materials at home. It is also very common situation when a struggling student raised his marks by doing homework which improved his skills in a long run.

Personally, I think homework is essential part of schooling. It teaches you responsibility, for example by meeting your deadlines, and helps process knowledge that you gained in class. In addition, homework teaches teenagers to learn which is the most important skill everyone should gain at school.

Thus, even though homework can sometimes take a lot of time and don't give a desired mark in return, it prepares students for an adult tasks such as projects at work and strict deadlines.
