First and foremost, it is undeniable that finishing homework by themselves can help children better absorb the knowledge they obtained. As is known to all, the purpose of assigning homework to students is to review what they learned in the class. In other words, teachers will view their assignments as a yardstick to evaluate how well their students have absorbed the knowledge. For example, a history teacher may require his students to write a paper about the Independence War after briefly introducing the background and process of this war. Due to the lack of sufficient information about this subject, kids may turn to their parents for help.
By contrast, those who have formed the habit of resolving problems by themselves have a greater chance to succeed. Take my friend, Thompson, as an example. Whenever Thompson asks their parents for help in the process of doing homework, his parents never directly give him the answer to the questions or do the homework for him. They usually guide Thompson to figure out the answer by himself and thus he formed a good habit of independent thinking. Later in his college study and work, he will always stand out because of his independent ability.
