Students' Complains about Homework and Grades

A lot of students are complaining about their school and their teachers. They complain about how they cannot handle the amount of homework and also about how they cannot get good grades at school. They often blame the teachers; however, these problems happen partly because of their own fault.

Some students complain about their homework. Teachers give students homework so that students can understand more about the topic. For example, mathematics. In order to excel in mathematics, students should work hard and practice a lot. The teachers actually give students the incentive to study by giving them homework, but students are just complaining without realizing the purpose of the homework. Another example, medical students. The teachers give lots of exercises because they want to make sure that the students can be safe and good doctors. We of course do not want to trust our lives to a doctor who barely passes his or her classes. In addition, if students cannot handle the amount of homework, they should invest more time to do the homework. I often hear that a lot of students do not have enough time to do their homework, but I am confused that they still have time to hang out almost two to three days a week. They cannot handle their homework because they prefer hanging out to studying; therefore, the solution to the problem is to invest more time to studying.

Some students also complain about how they cannot get good grades. Getting good grades is actually just a matter of studying hard. By studying hard, investing more time, students will be able to do better on the exams. Although there are people who can finish studying in one hour, that does not mean that we cannot get the same good grades as them. They may finish studying in one hour, but we can also get the same result if we study, for example, for three hours. As long as we get the same result, the three hours studying is worth it. Some people just stop trying and give up on their way, but if only they invest more time in studying, they would do better.

In conclusion, students should not complain about the homework and about how they cannot get good grades at school. I know that there are some teachers who are just too hard and picky, but I am sure that a lot of teachers are thinking about their students' future. Otherwise, they would make a living by doing other jobs. It is up to us, students, to invest more time in studying if we want to get more knowledge and good grades. Einstein says, "Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs." We should be happy that we take the availability of education as granted. Students' obligation is studying, therefore, we should be able to handle the homework and get good grades as long as we invest enough time in studying.
