The basic [[objectives]] of assigning homework to [[students]] are the same as [[schooling]] in general: To increase the [[knowledge]] and improve the [[abilities]] and [[skills]] of the students. However, opponents of homework cite homework as rote, or grind work, designed to take up children's time, without offering tangible benefit. Homework may be designed to reinforce what [[students]] have already [[learned]], [[prepare]] them for upcoming (or [[complex]] or difficult) lessons, extend what they know by having them apply it to new situations, or to [[integrate]] their [[abilities]] by applying many different [[skills]] to a single task. Homework also provides an [[opportunity]] for [[parents]] to [[participate]] in their children's [[education]].
