Homework is a way for students who aren’t as active as participants to prove their learning skills in other ways

The Argument

Homework teaches skills like self-disciplining and allows students to put in effort outside of class.[1] Many students face participation anxiety or require extra time to process information, which homework allows them to practice.[2] In addition, homework is also extremely helpful as preparatory materials for reviewing and tests.

Counter arguments

Students who struggle with participation in class should work on improving that skill rather than finding an unrelated method (like homework) to make up for it.
