Homework: A Necessary Evil

Some people say homework is the most important teaching tool. Others say it’s just meaningless work. But the truth is that homework is a necessary evil. Children (and even some parents) may not like homework. But it has real benefits. First, homework helps the student go over what they learned at their own pace. That way, they can practice the concepts they learned in school. Second, homework helps parents and children bond. Kids often turn to parents for help, and this makes their relationship stronger. Third, and most important, homework helps the teacher know which students need their help. Then they can focus on those students. It's true that homework can be stressful. But that problem must be blamed on the teacher, not the homework itself. Instead of giving too much homework, teachers must learn to give interesting and creative homework. Such homework will not just help students ask questions. It will also encourage them to find the answers on their own.

Homework: Is It Necessary?

Supporters of homework call it a necessary evil. While it may not be evil, it is definitely not necessary. Homework takes away from important family time, when kids and parents do fun activities together. Also, not all parents are able to help their kids with homework. So, homework can weaken the bond parents share with their kids. Teachers often don’t use homework to pinpoint their students’ weak and strong areas. Instead, they use homework to force students to cover lessons they couldn’t finish in class. Because teachers often give too much homework, students can suffer great amounts of stress. Some students even pass this stress on to parents who try to help. Schools should stop giving out homework in order to lessen the burden on students and parents.

Which TWO statements describe the changes Karen undergoes over the course of this story?

(Karen is sitting alone in her bedroom looking very upset. Her friends Lisa and Kate enter her room and find Karen sitting quietly on her bed.)
LISA: Boy, you look unhappy today, Karen. What’s the matter?
KAREN: I'm in a fix! A few days ago I borrowed my mother's gold chain for a party, and now I can't seem to find the chain anywhere. What should I do?
KATE: Are you sure it's lost?
KAREN: Yes, of course I'm sure. I've looked everywhere for it. I've turned my bedroom upside down looking for it. I'm afraid to tell my mom what happened.
LISA: You really are in trouble, aren't you? Your mother will be furious. It must have been a precious and expensive chain, and you carelessly lost it.

(This upsets Karen even more.)
KAREN: I don’t want to upset her, but I’m completely at a loss on how to fix this situation. I'm so mad at myself for losing it. I’m usually careful about such things.
LISA: Maybe you didn't lose it after all. Maybe it was stolen.
KAREN: Who would steal it?
LISA: You never know. There are a lot of bad people out there. If you were distracted, someone may have slipped it away without you even realizing.
KAREN: Oh, this is a disaster! What am I going to do?
LISA: Kate, you’ve been awfully quiet. Why don't you help Karen out?
KATE: I think the best solution in this case is to calm down and think carefully before jumping to conclusions.
LISA: But didn't you hear her? She's lost her mother's chain. This is a pretty big problem.
KATE: It’ll only be a big problem when she is sure of exactly what happened. Right now all you’re doing is giving her ideas about how she could have misplaced the chain. This isn't the solution. Karen, I think you should tell your mom what happened right away.
KAREN: All right, might as well deal with the situation.

(The three girls head to Karen's mother’s room. Her mom is sitting on the bed reading a magazine. She looks up as the three enter the room.)

MOTHER: Hi, girls.
KAREN: Mom, I wanted to talk to you about the chain.
MOTHER: What chain?
KAREN: The one I had borrowed a couple of days ago. I'm afraid I've lost it.
MOTHER: (Giving Karen a puzzled look) But Karen, I took the chain back yesterday because I needed it.

(The three girls look at each other in surprise.)

MOTHER: I'm sorry for not letting you know. I'm surprised that you thought you lost it. You should have asked me about it sooner. You looked absolutely tense when you entered the room.
KAREN: Oh, mom, I'm so sorry! I feel so relieved now. I'm glad that I listened to Kate and asked you about it.

(The three girls head back to Karen's room with smiles on their faces.)

"I Shall Return" by Claude McKay

I shall return again; I shall return
To laugh and love and watch with wonder-eyes
At golden noon the forest fires burn,
Wafting their blue-black smoke to sapphire skies.
I shall return to loiter by the streams
That bathe the brown blades of the bending grasses,
And realize once more my thousand dreams
Of waters rushing down the mountain passes.
I shall return to hear the fiddle and fife
Of village dances, dear delicious tunes
That stir the hidden depths of native life,
Stray melodies of dim remembered runes.
I shall return, I shall return again,
To ease my mind of long, long years of pain.
