Homework is a dreaded thing that is faced by many students. Their in-school activates are already hectic enough and much of their time at home can be consumed by the need of doing their homework and completing their paper. Homework may cause tension at home, because children may refuse to do their homework on time. Even if they want to do the homework, they may not have enough time to do the assigned home chores. This could cause parents to perform extra tasks at home. Each night students may need to struggle with one homework after another. They may come home each day with two or three new home works that they get from different classes. The situation can become worse if these students are busy professionals who take post-graduate education to advance their career. They often have bills to pay, groceries to buy, children to look after, meal to plan and busy workplace situation to endure.
No amount of personal organization skill can help these professionals to keep up. From the day their first child born, adults have larger requirements in life. They have additional mouth to food and an individual to finance for a long term period. Adults want their children to become well adjusted, successful and happy. However, this requires them to gather enough financial backup, so their children will be able to become supported educationally. Homework becomes another thing that adds complexities in their lives. It is important for busy adults to have full control of their lives, because they have so many things to juggle. They can’t prioritize only on a single thing, just like young students who are not yet working and married. In many cases, their children are still too young to be given tasks to delegate at home. When the condition becomes difficult enough, it is important for adult students to talk to their instructors.
Changing a policy in the classroom requires you to have enough backup and support. You won’t be able to achieve that if you are against a specific situation on your own. Check with other adult students whether they have the same situation and struggle with burdensome homework and assignments. If they are experiencing the same thing, then you may form an alliance with them to seek a change in homeworking policies. The instructors can be persuaded to give homework that’s less burdensome to busy professionals. Instructors should be quite respectful with what happen to their students. They understand that too much homework could de-motivate adult students resulting in poor learning performance. This is something that instructors that don’t want to have in the classroom. It is possible that are still seeking the right amount of homework that can be given to students and they are waiting for feedback.
Still, students shouldn’t use this opportunity to slack off. They should still use common sense to determine how much actually needed to complete a home work. These assignments will contribute a lot in the comprehension performance. They are given tasks and these are the opportunities to implement what they have learned in the classroom.
