While I may not be a fan of lots of homework, I am a huge fan of the complementary benefits that come from completing homework. The ability to follow instructions, take purposeful actions, give up personal time, work diligently…is a desperately needed skill. I don’t know of any employees that are looking for people to complete homework, but there are millions of great jobs waiting for people who possess the skills necessary to complete homework. How do we know all of this happened? Because the teacher marked the main outcome as successful. The student followed the instructions, committed to taking purposeful action, chose to give up their personal time, worked diligently, and completed the task in a satisfactory manner and in the designated time. However, when we think about all the other complementary benefits provided by that single action, it suddenly takes on a different meaning-a better and deeper meaning. The main outcome is that he or she has competed the task and that’s a good thing. We just tend to focus on the main and most obvious benefit while overlooking the many other and sometimes lesser goods that come from one positive action.Ī student turns in a homework assignment. In most things in life, there are numerous benefits that come from completing a task or taking positive action. A single action seldom produces a single outcome.
