Home? School?

In the story "The Fun They Had" the main characters live in the future and study at home with a mechanical teacher. Would this work in today's society? There are both good and bad sides to this question.


I believe that it is better to have a real teacher because you come to school and see your friends as well as learn. In addition, you have a relationship with your teachers and you can talk to your friends about the lessons. Being in a classroom with your teacher gives the pupil a chance to talk with her and ask questions, if he doesn't understand something. This way the response from the teacher is immediate and the pupil gets feedback right away.


If you study at home you cannot talk to anyone about your reaction to the lessons. Your grades are given quickly by the mechanical teacher, but there is no communication, so you don't learn from your mistakes. Plus, pupils have to spend a lot of time at home and cannot get out of the house for part of the day. This is not good for most pupils, who if they were learning at school would have breaks every couple of hours.(phr.)


In conclusion, I think that it is better to study at school with a regular teacher and to sit in a classroom with your friends and classmates. In(מיותר) this way the pupil can communicate directly with the teacher and enjoy direct communication, not only with the teacher but with his classmates as well.
This is better.

Home Work

The use of homework to help pupils learn material has been utilized for hundreds of years. The article about the young boy, Ben, and his case against homework raises many questions. Is homework really a good thing? Can pupils be successful without homework?

One of the ideas mentioned in the article is that school should be left at school. For example, homework should be done at school or that learning should take place at school and not at home. In my opinion Iit's a good idea. I feel that pupils concentrate more when they are at school.

I definately think that pupils can succeed without homework. If they want to succeed they will concentrate more when they are at school. In addition, there can be additional hours after school when pupils can receive additional help before they leave school

One positive thing about homework is that it can help you review material that you may need for a test. But even this can be done at school instead of at home, when pupils can work together and/or with their teachers.

I think that Ben had an interesting idea in trying to get rid of homework, but I don't think it will happen at my school soon.
