Pros and cons of assignments

Homework is one of the least interesting tasks for students. They tend to avoid writing homework assignments because they are repetitive and boring. Exams are less stressful because they come occasionally and remain for a week or so. Home tasks are repetitive and monotonous. Students hate to attempt these assignments because they do not have enough time to give to each subject and assignment.
From a student’s point of view, home tasks are unnecessary. From a teacher’s point of view, these tasks are important to help the students revise the concepts taught in class and perform better at the subject.
Everything has good and bad things about it. Home tasks have their good and bad sides as well. Research shows that students should have two hours of studying at home after the school assignments during high school. The amount of home tasks has increased greatly since the past two decades. This makes it difficult for students to cope up with. Average amount of home tasks is perfectly fine for the students.
Pros:
-It helps the students improve their understanding of the subject.
-They can develop a better understanding of the subject and its applications when they attempt assignments on their own
-Students who have trouble in grabbing the concepts will learn better when they attempt the assignmentIt will help them revise the concepts they read in schoolIt motivates them to take initiative and carry out research to attempt the home task
-It is a good way to prepare for exams and tests. They will practice the assignment and get prepared for the exam
Even though there are many advantages of home tasks, but they can have some drawbacks as well if in excess amount
Cons:
-Students cannot take time out to dedicate to each assignmentThey do not find time for their other activities and extracurricular tasks
-They do not have enough free time to learn and develop their personal skills
-Students who have excess home work may feel anxiety and stress if they cannot complete the paper on time
-It can be challenging for parents to sit with students and help them out in their academic tasks
-It may (will) make the student hate the subject itself

Holiday, what a stress!

Holiday, what do you think of? Traveling around, relax, stress free? To me.... Well, I'm 24/7 stress now 😅😅 I'm having 22+ homework, including tuition. And I need to settle it by wed cause my brain told me too. Besides, we students have the thinking of "not having good results is equals to going to be look down in community, especially parents and teachers.
Like me, my English results have never been in flying colours before, not even a good marks. And I still need to balance out my other results such as add maths and so on.
Like what the physiologist people had told, students with 24/7 stress is most likely to fail their test, causing them to be looked down. In a more serious case, it could lead to depression and suicide.
People always say that students only know how to play games, watch YouTube and so on. So you're telling me that you have never touch YouTube before? You had never take a break from community? Have you been studying /working for 24/7¿?
Admit it, all of us always wanted the "stress free days"  to come along. But the truth is, economic is going downhill, and life is tough now. I know, you know, we all know.... Well except for some people who always only know how to buy those expensive make up and fashion. And never care of their studies....
I'm going to stop venting here, the next thing you know I'm going to talk about the government 😅😅
So yeah..... Stay tune.
