Value of Homework – Does It Really Help Students?

I grew up doing Homework, lots of it. I always felt homework is kind of punishment. It consumes my precious playing time and sometimes it consumes Sunday too, such a boring and irritating work. I hate doing homework all the time again and again.Every child thinks in the same way as  I did.

But now as an educator, I really think homework is a good way to teach a lesson in more easier or convenient manner.
