  4. 1. Who Invented Homework? Let’s start

  5. t We have no idea who invented homework, despite the fact that many people do, oversee, or assign it most days of the week. The invention of homework is known by a variety of names. In truth, everybody who has attempted to learn something has most likely practised it on their own time and in their own environment, thus homework is simply a part of the learning process. Homework was first mentioned in ancient Rome, in the writings of Piny the Younger, in the year 1AD. Pliny, an oratory teacher, is said to have encouraged his students to practise public speaking at home in order to boost their confidence. At the end of the 19th century, when the school became compulsory all over the world, homework became universal.

  6. 2.Why Was Homework Invented? a

  7. t Over the years, supporters of homework have given a variety of reasons for its creation. These are some of them: • Students can consolidate their learning by practising what they’ve learned in school; • Teachers and students can uncover learning gaps when students hand in assignments that they’ve completed independently; • It provides students extra time to study something; • It helps students manage their time. On the other hand, homework has not always been popular, and in the early 1900s, it was even banned in the state of California for 15 years.

  8. 3. Who Was Roberto Novelis? a

  9. t Roberto Novelis might well not be anyone. It is frequently said that this name is responsible for the invention of homework. But he might not even be real, because no one appears to know whether he developed homework in 1095 or 1905. He is supposed to have devised the concept of homework to punish what he saw to be lazy students. However, there is no formal confirmation of this story or even his existence.

  10. 4. Who Was Horace Mann? a

  11. t Horace Mann was a nineteenth-century politician and educational reformer. He believed strongly in compulsory education and was essential in the establishment of state-funded education in the United States. After seeing it in the German Volksschulen, or “People’s Schools,” when he visited in 1843, he brought the idea of mandatory assignments to be done at home – homework – to the United States.

  12. 5. Brief History of Homework a

  13. t 1901-1917: All students under the age of 15 in the state of California were prohibited from doing homework. A number of letters and statements opposing homework were published in the Ladies Home Journal and the New York Times. 1930: The American Child Health Association proclaimed homework to be a kind of child labour, which was a novel legal idea in the United States at the time. 1950: During the Cold War, the United States went on a large homework push in order for American children to thrive, particularly in math and science. 2000 onwards: The idea that homework was harmful to a child’s or family’s health resurfaced with the publication of homework books. Meanwhile, students in the United Kingdom often have more homework than kids in many other European countries. I hope you have known about who invented homework.

  14. 6. Was Homework Invented As a Punishment? a

  15. t Yes, at first, Roberto used homework as a form of punishment. however, He also used it to guarantee that students fully absorbed and comprehended what they had studied. But because homework was created at a time when the globe was creating a formal education system, it became a vital part of that system. People in countries like the United States, on the other hand, did not take education seriously until the twentieth century. Parents considered schooling as a hindrance in such places because they wanted their children to help them with household tasks. However, During World War II things changed when such countries realized they required educated personnel, such as scientists.

  16. 7. Why Should Homework Be Banned? a

  17. t Even with all the potential benefits of homework, some people say it should be prohibited because spending more time on it costs children too much time, produces a stressful environment at home and at school, and fosters unequal access to resources between rich and poor families. In addition to these concerns, some opponents of homework argue that helping their children with homework is unfair to parents who work long hours or have numerous jobs outside the home. The other side of the argument for making homework illegal is that if it were made illegal, students would spend more time doing other constructive things like sports or spending time with their families. The concept is based on the premise that children will be better prepared to engage in these activities if they had a day off from school. The final point is that homework does not always boost learning or grades; in fact, some research suggest that the amount of time spent on homework and standardised test scores may be negatively correlated. Students’ work quality deteriorates when they become tired or bored while completing it, and they don’t learn from homework if all they care about is finishing it. Those who oppose banning it propose giving children smaller amounts of work to do each night instead of an entire night’s worth of homework.

  18. 8. Quick Facts About Homework a

  19. t • Roberto Nevilis isn’t the person who invented homework. • Johann Gottlieb Fichte invented homework. • Horace Mann, who is wrongly credited with inventing homework, brought it to the United States in the nineteenth century.

  20. Conclusion (Who Invented Homework) In this blog, we have discussed who invented homework in detail. Regardless of who invented homework, it is here to stay. While homework has many advantages, educators must know when and how to use it as a tool to classroom learning rather than as a replacement.
