musicxrules Math and their country's language should be innate to every student. These two are basic skills, and you can't get anywhere without them. Children should be reading and writing every day, not only because colleges like it, but employers like it, too. If you're...

musicxrules Chumpy100 makes a good point. Students who don't need homework shouldn't be required to do it. Also, some students require a teacher who will teach the lesson. Teachers who assign homework to do the job, and expect you to learn everything from the textbook are...

musicxrules Yes, homework can be a good thing, but only if it's used correctly. Teachers who don't read or check homeworks won't know if a failing student is trying very hard and needs help, or just slacking off. These teachers are the ones who often assign homeworks that...

I've been taking SAT prep throughout high school, but I was not given much essay practice because essays take too long to grade. After getting a 6/12 on one of my practice essays, I became desperate for improvement. I've realized...

musicxrules That's very good. I'm glad you're learning English here on myLot. I think it'd also be very beneficial if you had to speak English often, too. Speaking & writing and listening & reading are two very different things.

musicxrules Ah, I almost forgot about that. I was so concentrated on reading and writing abilities, I nearly forgot myLot was a WEBSITE, and we're required to type every time we respond. I don't think myLot has improved my typing much, because I constantly pause to ponder...

musicxrules Indeed, myLot really is a great website. Being able to hook a reader, and get him or her to read your discussion is a very useful skill to learn. Getting paid to do this is just a cherry on top!

musicxrules I was hoping someone would disagree with me! I understand what you mean when you said that to improve, one must be criticized; however, one doesn't always need criticism from others. It's possible to learn something without having another being give you...

musicxrules Thank you for responding! Yes, it will definitely depend on how much the person really wants to improve. MyLot pays so little for a post or response, they're keeping people who want to make money as quickly and effortlessly as possible. The people who are...

Most people owned board games such as Scrabble, Monopoly, Draughts, Backgammon or Chess then computers and the internet came along and now I never hear of anyone playing these games as they should be played, if they play them at...

musicxrules I've never played backgammon for real before! I don't think I've ever been able to seriously look at an instruction booklet for it. I wish I could play it, though. I also play checkers, but I often underestimate the amount of thinking required for it, and end...

musicxrules Very good point. Nowadays, it's hard to find websites like myLot, where you can make money, improve your skills, and communicate with others. Thank you for responding!

musicxrules Yes, I hope I will see soon! I am planning to continue participating in myLot discussions, and keep myself from writing long-winded responses. Thank you for your response!

musicxrules Yes, I believe it happens all over, too. Unfortunately, some homeworks start a completely new lesson, and those are the kinds of homeworks I am against. However, I still believe that if there was suddenly no homework, students would miss it, and start studying...

musicxrules There IS a lot of information. I don't think teachers should overload students with homework, especially in middle or high school, because students have other teachers' homeworks to worry about. Some teachers assign up to 40 short answer questions a day. It...

musicxrules Homework can be helpful, and usually is. However, many teachers assign homework that requires students to do the learning themselves, instead of being taught by the teacher. This is useless. If a teacher was there just to assign homework, then they should not...

musicxrules I agree. Homework is supposed to be a good thing, but only when assigned correctly. Memorization is definitely not learning. If you memorize information, you will most likely forget it after you take the test. Learning a subject is just like learning how to...

musicxrules I really like your "work without pay" notion. It does seem like it. However, your pay is knowledge, and knowledge is power. Some students don't know what they want to be when they grow up, but some do. Some students find science and social studies useless,...
