Do you think that homework should be compulsory?

An Institute / University / School teaches people about subjects they are not aware of or are interested in. Schools usually have hundreds of subjects for the students to learn but students prefer one over the other. While studying a certain subject or a topic the teachers usually give assignments that are meant for the students to practice but are these assignments really necessary?

Well, being a student myself I sometimes think that homeworks should not be mandatory but I understand why homework is made mandatory. Homeworks is meant for the students to revise later after the class so that they can memorize or understand how to solve a problem or how to find a solution to a question.  As for my opinion on homework, I think it is quite important for a student's daily life.  Homeworks are really useful in times like exams to revise the things a person studied throughout a specific time period.  Homeworks in school level is one of the most important things. Homeworks revise the things taught by the teacher in class and also increases the capacity of students to solve problems. A load of homework also contributes to learning stress handling skills.  Even though a lot of homework helps to learn how to handle stress it could be a burden sometimes. Too much stress could cause illness so teachers should refrain from giving too much homeworks considering the fact that other teachers give homeworks too. I believe, to  get a better grasp of the things students learn at school, students should be given homeworks but not too much as processing a lot of things could be hard at times.

So in conclusion, I think that homework should be required to help the students learn and understand a specific subject.
