And, according to some, it's way too much. When setting homework try and bear some of these common excuses at mind, and create a task that students have a hard time thinking up an excuse for.It's all over the news: kids are spending a lot of time on homework. No matter the subject, there are always going to be those who have an excuse for not wanting to do their homework. It only counts for a few points or it’s not graded anyway, so why do it at all? Maybe you just don’t know how or where to start. Maybe it is hard to organize what needs to be done. The computer crashed or the electricity went out… the slide ruler is misplaced or there are no working batteries for the calculator. The house is noisy, there’s other family members interfering with a quiet place to work, the rooms are too cluttered so there is no good space to work.
Maybe it looks like busy work and it does not seem worthwhile. Perhaps the work does not seem to relate to anything really meaningful so you don’t want to spend any time on it. I don’t remember parts of the assignment. With sports, music and art classes and a whole range of additional extracurricular activities, maybe some do volunteer work or have a job, and don’t forget hanging out with friends plus if you throw in a couple of other class assignments, you get the picture … so why would this homework be a high priority to finish?ĭoes this sound familiar? I forgot to copy the assignment down. It just does not make sense to do more of what a person already knows how to do, so why do it? If you can write an essay well, what is the purpose of rewriting it or writing another one, for that matter? If you can solve some math problems, do you really need to do another page or two? If you already know what is going to happen in a science or marketing experiment, do you have to outline each step and complete them all? 4. Whatever the case, it’s just too difficult. Or maybe the homework was not explained clearly enough for you to understand. Maybe you don’t know what to do or how to do it. The instructions are too hard to understand Let’s face it, if you've been in school all day listening to the teachers and doing work, so why would you want to come home and do some more? 2.
