Long Term Homework Benefits

Imagine being in a student’s shoes, going to class and sitting there listening to the teacher talk and trying not to fall asleep because the teacher is doing all the work, while students pay attention. Some students get drained during class time because they are not being physically and mentally involved. I believe schools should require the long-term assignments over short-term assignments. Long-term assignments are easier on the student, students tend to learn a lot more, and it teaches the students soft skills. First of all, students have a lot of stress put on them from school work. Some teachers require homework to be done the next day, but what some teachers do not understand is that the student has other classes that may be a little bit more important, and require them to be more focused on that classes homework.
Long-term assignments teaches the student oral and written communication skills. For a student to get out in the world, they will have to understand that speaking with and in front of people is not an option. Long-term assignments teaches another soft skill which is time management. Students will be responsible for taking time out of their day to work on their project. Having to know these soft skills will help the student throughout their entire life.
In conclusion, I believe long-term assignments are better for the student because they get time to themselves. They have time for after school activities and a chance to hang out with their friends. Long-term assignments are stress free on the student, students tend to learn the material faster, and it teaches the student skills they will need to be more successful. The classes I am in now are similar to the long-term assignments because my third block class we get a week to do our homework. Not every student learns the same and taking a different approach on learning will help the students
