Imagine this scenario: It is 7:00 PM. You have just returned from work, exhausted. Instead of relaxing with your family, you spend the next three hours fighting with your child to finish their homework, memorize spelling words, and complete a science project. There is crying, stress, and shouting.
This is the reality for most families in Gazipur—but not for families at Rajendrapur English Medium School (REMS).
We have adopted a bold “No Homework Policy.” But does “No Homework” mean “No Learning”? Absolutely not. In fact, it means better learning. Here are the details on how our unique system works.
1. We Flip the Script: School is for Work, Home is for Rest
At traditional schools, teachers explain a concept for 20 minutes and then send the difficult practice work home. This places the burden of teaching on the parents. At REMS, we do the opposite. Our extended class hours allow students to learn the concept and practice it under the supervision of the teacher. If a student gets stuck on a Math problem, the teacher is right there to help—not a tired parent who might not know the modern method.
2. Expert Guidance vs. Tuition Dependency
One of the biggest hidden costs of education in Bangladesh is private tuition. Parents often hire tutors because they cannot manage the homework load. Because REMS completes the academic requirements within school hours, the need for private tutors is virtually eliminated. This saves parents thousands of takas every month and ensures the child is learning directly from their certified school teachers.
3. What Happens at Home?
If there is no homework, what do students do at home?
- Family Bonding: They spend quality time with parents and siblings.
- Creative Play: They engage in hobbies, sports, or reading.
- Rest: A well-rested brain learns better the next day.
- Deen: They can review their Hifz or pray with the family without the anxiety of unfinished assignments.
4. Preparing for the Real World
In the professional world, you aim to finish your work at the office so you can enjoy your personal time. We are teaching children this healthy work-life balance from a young age. They learn focus and time management in the classroom so they can enjoy their freedom at home.
Conclusion
At REMS, we believe a child’s childhood is precious. By removing the burden of homework, we are returning peace to the household while maintaining the high standards of the Cambridge Curriculum.
Stop the evening battles. Choose a school that takes responsibility for your child’s education. Read more
