Subject: Late homework

Introduction

As requested. I am writing this report with a view to finding out why members of the class have been handing in their homework late and suggesting ways of dealing with the matter.

 

Reasons for late homework

There were many reasons given for handing in homework late. One of the main reasons was pressure of time; the students feel that they do not have enough time to finish all the work for all the teachers. Another reason given was how interesting the work was; students felt that the work either did not challenge them or was simply too boring. The final reason was outside pressure; students believed that they should not spend all their time studying at home and they needed personal time to pursue their own interests.

 

Suggestions

There are many ways in which we can reduce the pressure of homework on the students. Firstly, we should arrange for the teacher to set a homework timetable for themselves. In this way, students will not have all their homework on one night but it will be evenly spread throughout the week. Another suggestion is to involve the students in setting the homework; if the students can choose the work, they will be more interested in completing it. Finally, some students suggested a homework club after school where students would be able to do their homework, maybe even with supervised help.
