An Italian pedagog Roberto Nevilis is considered the real “inventor” of homework. He was the person who invented homework in far 1905 and made it a punishment to his students. … From that point of view, teaching can hardly move forward without home lessons. Homework was defined as one of forms of independent work.
“We have schools for a lot of reasons. … Beyond teaching skills, schools do a lot of other things for us: they take care of children during the day so their parents know they’re safe while they’re working to earn money, and schools provide a sense of community.”
If a student is not contributing to the communication, they lose focus and many literally go to sleep. There are other triggers for sleeping during lessons, such as eating a large meal immediately before the lesson, poor ventilation in the classroom, and tired students.
Schools should also consider that allowing naps could result in fewer students falling asleep during class. Instead of letting us nap, schools should help us learn to manage our time so we can get more rest at night. The Mayo Clinic recommends that teens get 8-10 hours of sleep in order to stay alert during the day.
