Homework Hotspot - The First Post

 Welcome to the Homework Hotspot! Here you’ll find blog postings about all things homework-related. I’ll try to touch on as many different topics in the homework sphere as possible in a way that doesn’t remind you of school. Whether you’re taking a break from hitting the books or looking for some information to deliver your anti-homework coup de grace next period, the entire point of the Homework Hotspot is to make people think twice about homework.

And it’s the idea of thinking about homework that leads me to my first point: The effectiveness of assigning homework is a subject worth debating. As any grade-schooler will tell you, homework prevents kids from being kids. Wouldn’t the world be a better place if children were free to experience and appreciate more of the world around them, instead of the world inside their textbook? On the flip side, teachers have been assigning homework after their lessons for a long, long time, and I’m sure they would argue that homework is an essential part of any child’s education. Would children turn out to be well-rounded members of society without take-home lessons?

For now, let’s leave these questions open to debate. After all, this is a blog, not a dissertation. A few more things to expect on the Homework Hotspot: On occasion, I may also include a bit of humor with homework jokes. I don’t mind providing homework help in any subject, but the value of homework help is the learning process, not getting necessarily getting the right answer, so don’t be surprised if questions are met with more questions. (As you should be able to see by now, I am a fan of questions.)

So put on your proverbial thinking caps, sharpen your mental pencils, and get ready for an adventure into the wonderful world of homework with Homework Hotspot.
