Homework

I think that homework is a good way to assess students. It's not the best way but I think that there are many accomplishments by giving homework. As a future teacher, I believe that giving homework is very important. However, too much homework will just overwhelm a student, and sometimes it might not even be completed or understood. I was once in Elementary School and I remember crying because I had alot of homework. It sounds silly but it happens. I will give my students homework, but just the right amount. Not too much but not too little. Enough so that I know that they will understand it and of course remember what they did. The only negative thing about homework is that the teacher is not watching his/her students actually do the homework. They might have their parents, a family member or even a friend in the same class or grade do it for them, but the truth comes out sooner or later.
