Scrap the homework

Time to end the homework scheme. 




(THIS ARTICLE IS MACHINE TRANSLATED by Google from Norwegian)

Whether you go or go to school, there is one thing you do not miss, the idea of ​​sitting with school when you finally get home. Yet we accept that it is like this today – just because it has always been that way.

Homework is an outdated form of teaching, which helps to recreate social differences between people. When students in Norwegian schools have to learn new parts of the syllabus at home, it all too often boils down to who your parents are and whether you can learn what you need to.

It should not be the education of your parents that determines what opportunities you have to do well in school. It is time that we end the homework system and move the teaching into where it should be: to the classroom.

"Generation Achievement"

Today's young people are often called "generational achievement". They should be the coolest in the class, dress properly, have the best grades, sink the most likes on Instagram, be the best on the football team and in addition to all this you should have time for at least two hours of homework. It is no wonder young people today are struggling more with mental ailments; we help create them.

No one can demand that an employee, after completing the work day, sit for 2 – 3 hours of work when they return home. Then they would go on strike. Youth must be given the freedom to be youth. Take time to breathe out and relax. To have free. If the Norwegian school participates and reproduces social differences, then it loses one of its most important purposes. We need to create a school that makes sure everyone can become what they want, regardless of who your parents are.

Homework is an outdated form of teaching.

Teaching must take place at school – not at home. We need to create more in-depth learning, and not just have a "crèche school". We have to create a school where everyone is seen. Where everyone gets the challenges they need to become the best version of themselves. We must allow young people the opportunity to dream. To have free time. To be a youth.

Let's drop homework, once and for all.
