**Homework is Helpful** **by David D**

If you're like me you hate homework, but you don't know how helpful homework is. **In-fact there are several reasons that homework is helpful.**
 * One way homework is helpful is that it's practice.** Every one knows the saying 'practice makes perfect.' Well that's exactly what homework does, like with math boxes, it will tell you to add or subtract. Or when it tells you to find the mean, median, mode, and range. It gives me plenty of practice to make my work perfect. Do you want to know another good thing about practice? You can mess up without it mattering. It's just a mistake, nothing else. Don't you think it's great that practise builds confidence? I do because once I'm confident, I feel great knowing I did a good job in math or any other subject.
 * Another way homework is helpful is it allows teachers know if we get it or not.** I bet that your teacher loves the fact that they get to know that we get it but if we don't, they know what to teach us and for how long. It also alows teachers to pinpoint what we get and knowing that they might diside to have us work less on that and give us less homework on that subject. I know I would like that. Homework is great because it gives teachersan overvew of if we're doing bad, OK, or a good job understanding the book, or understanding the unit. It helps teachers know were we're at and how they can help if we need it.
 * The most helpful thing about homework is that it allows as to see our strengths and weaknesses.**

If you're like me you hate homework, but you don't know how helpful homework is. **In-fact there are several reasons that homework is helpful. ** I hate homework but as you can see there are a lot of reasons homework is helpful. (I’m saying homework is helpful, I’m not saying that school should give more.)

It also allows teachers to pinpoint what we get and knowing that they might decide to have us work less on that and give us less homework on that subject. I know I would like that. Homework is great because it gives teachers an overview of if we're doing bad, OK, or a good job understanding the book, or understanding the unit. It helps teachers know where we're at and how they can help if we need it.
 * The most helpful thing about homework is that it allows us to see our strengths and weaknesses.** When we observe our homework we see if (adding fractions for example) we didn’t get it we know we need to work more on it. Observing also allows us to see what we know how to do therefore we know we can work less on and that frees up time for us to work more on what we’re not as good at, giving us the chance to do better. This information will tell us if we’re doing a good job, if we need some work, or if we’re doing about as good as the average.
