Teachers keep telling us: "Homework is the best thing to help you learn it will also help us get better" (imagine me saying this like a teacher) but does it really help us learn better, faster or even at all. Homework usually doesn't help me learn. Not because I'm a teenager and if I like homework I'm a nerd! But because most of the time homework I do isn't really relevant to the work I do in class and sometimes isn't even what's going to be on the test. Secondly if we are doing the homework wrong we are not learning just practicing doing homework badly.

Firstly it often happens that the homework I do isn't even relevant to what we have in our tests. So you could be learning one thing in class and something completely different on the homework. Then the test comes around the corner you study your homework and BOOM you fail, because the test was about what you had in your notes. My history class is like that. But don't get me wrong I like my history class and my teacher but the homework isn't what is on our test, we are just doing homework for the sake of it. So homework doesn't help s learn in this case at all.
Secondly, what if I'm at home and I'm doing the old homework due the next day but I'm doing the homework wrong. If you do your homework wrong you also get the question wrong on the test. Now you can't tell me that by doing my homework wrong I am getting better in my opinion I'm getting worse. I know this happens because it happened to me I did my homework wrong but didn't know I was doing it wrong and I almost failed my test which sucks believe me, maybe some people don't care about getting good grades but I do. So if you're doing your homework wrong you are definitely not learning or getting better.
In conclusion, we could be doing pointless homework or doing your homework wrong for all I know. In the end homework instead always as good as most teachers claim It is. So i ask you this question fare reader's of this blog, if there is anyone reading this blog apart from my teacher to grade It, does homework really help us learn.
