“Abolishing home assignments” sounds like a manifesto statement from some hypothetical “Party of School Students” or whatever. Really, so many students feel like that when they face some new assignment in their homework list. But most people and even students realize that if they want to get solid knowledge going to school or college is not enough. One needs to do a lot of things independently from tutor or teacher, but under his control in most cases. Besides, self-education is good in terms that you develop your own technique of studying and get more independent, which will definitely bear fruit in future. Students face necessity to do a lot of written assignments at home, like, for example, writing opinion essay on educational matters or preparing some project about native town. And in most cases being successful in preparing such assignments makes you more self-disciplined, and thus contributes into your development as a personality.
