Loss of autonomous learning
When the homework becomes too complicated and even needs the guidance of parents, students can easily fall into the whirlpool of dependence on their parents. This kind of homework design undoubtedly deprives students of the opportunity to think and solve problems independently, and hinders their personal growth and learning progress.
The crisis of educational equity
Every family has different educational background and resources. When homework emphasizes parental guidance, those students with superior family conditions will naturally get more opportunities. For those students with limited resources, they may get into trouble and further widen the gap with others.
Academic stress and mental health
The complexity of homework and the demand of parents' guidance have brought great pressure to students. They may feel anxious because they can't finish their homework alone. This constant stress not only affects the learning effect, but also may damage their mental health.
Deviation from educational goals
The original intention of education is to cultivate talents with comprehensive literacy, but the homework design that relies too much on parents' guidance obviously deviates from this track. It puts too much emphasis on exam-taking skills and ignores the cultivation of students' creativity and critical thinking, which runs counter to the real goal of modern education.
