Advantages and disadvantages of studying at home

The room is the ideal place to study, because in solitude you can read aloud, listen to music or something like that. However, studying at home has its advantages and disadvantages .

The majority of university students still prefer to study in the comfort of their own home. The room allows creating a particular learning space that is possible to adapt to every career, study or need. However, not all benefits. We also know the disadvantages of studying at home.

Advantages of studying at home

• The biggest advantage of studying at home is that you have everything at your disposal without having to leave the chair. In addition to books and notes, you can use the computer, the printer, the scanner…
• The comfort of your room also allows you to eat and drink while you study. Although it is always discouraged to take any food that stains, you can accompany the day with nuts, chopped fruit, juices, milkshakes, etc.
• The solitude of your room allows you to read aloud and repeat the syllabuses, being able to perform simulations and practices of the presentations. Are you one of those who studied with music? You will be able to hear your favorite songs without using the annoying helmets.
• It does not need transferences or loses a minute to go to eat, since you can stop studying and immediately take the plate. Afterwards, you can take a nap of about 15-20 minutes to replenish your strength and regain the energy you needed to continue studying.
• You can study how you want, with the comfort of a tracksuit and shoes at home. In addition, not depending on a schedule, you can take advantage of the nights or mornings to study. You set the calendar.

Disadvantages of studying at home

• You will need to have a number of elements to start the study, such as a large table and an ergonomic chair. If you do not have space in your room, you may need to move your study area to the living room.
• You will not have anyone around you to ask a question or make an appointment. In this case, you will have to pick up the phone to call a friend, send an email to the teacher or wait for the next day to discuss it with a partner.
• Procrastination is often common among university students who study at home, since individual learning requires some constancy, discipline, and responsibility.
• Studying all day at home can be quite exhausting, and you may need some time to enjoy the outdoors. In addition, being in the room for so long can increase the temptation of lying in bed, surfing social networks, or taking a nap between the topics.
• Silence is essential to study and concentrate properly , although sometimes your home (if you live with more people or have noisy neighbors) is not the oasis of tranquility that you need. If you can not focus on the subject, perhaps you also entertain more because of the easy access to the Internet, your books, your video games, etc.

Does Homework Really Help Students Learn?

A conversation with a Wheelock researcher, a BU student, and a fourth-grade teacher

“Quality homework is engaging and relevant to kids’ lives,” says Wheelock’s Janine Bempechat. “It gives them autonomy and engages them in the community and with their families. In some subjects, like math, worksheets can be very helpful. It has to do with the value of practicing over and over.” Photo by iStock/Glenn Cook Photography

Do your homework.

If only it were that simple.

Educators have debated the merits of homework since the late 19th century. In recent years, amid concerns of some parents and teachers that children are being stressed out by too much homework, things have only gotten more fraught.

“Homework is complicated,” says developmental psychologist Janine Bempechat, a Wheelock College of Education & Human Development clinical professor. The author of the essay “ The Case for (Quality) Homework—Why It Improves Learning and How Parents Can Help ” in the winter 2019 issue of Education Next , Bempechat has studied how the debate about homework is influencing teacher preparation, parent and student beliefs about learning, and school policies.

She worries especially about socioeconomically disadvantaged students from low-performing schools who, according to research by Bempechat and others, get little or no homework.

BU Today  sat down with Bempechat and Erin Bruce (Wheelock’17,’18), a new fourth-grade teacher at a suburban Boston school, and future teacher freshman Emma Ardizzone (Wheelock) to talk about what quality homework looks like, how it can help children learn, and how schools can equip teachers to design it, evaluate it, and facilitate parents’ role in it.

BU Today: Parents and educators who are against homework in elementary school say there is no research definitively linking it to academic performance for kids in the early grades. You’ve said that they’re missing the point.

Bempechat : I think teachers assign homework in elementary school as a way to help kids develop skills they’ll need when they’re older—to begin to instill a sense of responsibility and to learn planning and organizational skills. That’s what I think is the greatest value of homework—in cultivating beliefs about learning and skills associated with academic success. If we greatly reduce or eliminate homework in elementary school, we deprive kids and parents of opportunities to instill these important learning habits and skills.

We do know that beginning in late middle school, and continuing through high school, there is a strong and positive correlation between homework completion and academic success.

That’s what I think is the greatest value of homework—in cultivating beliefs about learning and skills associated with academic success.

You talk about the importance of quality homework. What is that?

Quality homework is engaging and relevant to kids’ lives. It gives them autonomy and engages them in the community and with their families. In some subjects, like math, worksheets can be very helpful. It has to do with the value of practicing over and over.

What are your concerns about homework and low-income children?

The argument that some people make—that homework “punishes the poor” because lower-income parents may not be as well-equipped as affluent parents to help their children with homework—is very troubling to me. There are no parents who don’t care about their children’s learning. Parents don’t actually have to help with homework completion in order for kids to do well. They can help in other ways—by helping children organize a study space, providing snacks, being there as a support, helping children work in groups with siblings or friends.

Isn’t the discussion about getting rid of homework happening mostly in affluent communities?

Yes, and the stories we hear of kids being stressed out from too much homework—four or five hours of homework a night—are real. That’s problematic for physical and mental health and overall well-being. But the research shows that higher-income students get a lot more homework than lower-income kids.

Teachers may not have as high expectations for lower-income children. Schools should bear responsibility for providing supports for kids to be able to get their homework done—after-school clubs, community support, peer group support. It does kids a disservice when our expectations are lower for them.

The conversation around homework is to some extent a social class and social justice issue. If we eliminate homework for all children because affluent children have too much, we’re really doing a disservice to low-income children. They need the challenge, and every student can rise to the challenge with enough supports in place.

What did you learn by studying how education schools are preparing future teachers to handle homework?

My colleague, Margarita Jimenez-Silva, at the University of California, Davis, School of Education, and I interviewed faculty members at education schools, as well as supervising teachers, to find out how students are being prepared. And it seemed that they weren’t. There didn’t seem to be any readings on the research, or conversations on what high-quality homework is and how to design it.

Erin, what kind of training did you get in handling homework?

Bruce : I had phenomenal professors at Wheelock, but homework just didn’t come up. I did lots of student teaching. I’ve been in classrooms where the teachers didn’t assign any homework, and I’ve been in rooms where they assigned hours of homework a night. But I never even considered homework as something that was my decision. I just thought it was something I’d pull out of a book and it’d be done.

I started giving homework on the first night of school this year. My first assignment was to go home and draw a picture of the room where you do your homework. I want to know if it’s at a table and if there are chairs around it and if mom’s cooking dinner while you’re doing homework.

The second night I asked them to talk to a grown-up about how are you going to be able to get your homework done during the week. The kids really enjoyed it. There’s a running joke that I’m teaching life skills.

Friday nights, I read all my kids’ responses to me on their homework from the week and it’s wonderful. They pour their hearts out. It’s like we’re having a conversation on my couch Friday night.

It matters to know that the teacher cares about you and that what you think matters to the teacher. Homework is a vehicle to connect home and school…for parents to know teachers are welcoming to them and their families.

Bempechat : I can’t imagine that most new teachers would have the intuition Erin had in designing homework the way she did.

Ardizzone : Conversations with kids about homework, feeling you’re being listened to—that’s such a big part of wanting to do homework….I grew up in Westchester County. It was a pretty demanding school district. My junior year English teacher—I loved her—she would give us feedback, have meetings with all of us. She’d say, “If you have any questions, if you have anything you want to talk about, you can talk to me, here are my office hours.” It felt like she actually cared.

Bempechat : It matters to know that the teacher cares about you and that what you think matters to the teacher. Homework is a vehicle to connect home and school…for parents to know teachers are welcoming to them and their families.

Ardizzone : But can’t it lead to parents being overbearing and too involved in their children’s lives as students?

Bempechat : There’s good help and there’s bad help. The bad help is what you’re describing—when parents hover inappropriately, when they micromanage, when they see their children confused and struggling and tell them what to do.

Good help is when parents recognize there’s a struggle going on and instead ask informative questions: “Where do you think you went wrong?” They give hints, or pointers, rather than saying, “You missed this,” or “You didn’t read that.”

Bruce : I hope something comes of this. I hope BU or Wheelock can think of some way to make this a more pressing issue. As a first-year teacher, it was not something I even thought about on the first day of school—until a kid raised his hand and said, “Do we have homework?” It would have been wonderful if I’d had a plan from day one.

Insightful! The values about homework in elementary schools are well aligned with my intuition as a parent.

when i finish my work i do my homework and i sometimes forget what to do because i did not get enough sleep

same omg it does not help me it is stressful and if I have it in more than one class I hate it.

Same I think my parent wants to help me but, she doesn’t care if I get bad grades so I just try my best and my grades are great.

I think that last question about Good help from parents is not know to all parents, we do as our parents did or how we best think it can be done, so maybe coaching parents or giving them resources on how to help with homework would be very beneficial for the parent on how to help and for the teacher to have consistency and improve homework results, and of course for the child. I do see how homework helps reaffirm the knowledge obtained in the classroom, I also have the ability to see progress and it is a time I share with my kids

The answer to the headline question is a no-brainer – a more pressing problem is why there is a difference in how students from different cultures succeed. Perfect example is the student population at BU – why is there a majority population of Asian students and only about 3% black students at BU? In fact at some universities there are law suits by Asians to stop discrimination and quotas against admitting Asian students because the real truth is that as a group they are demonstrating better qualifications for admittance, while at the same time there are quotas and reduced requirements for black students to boost their portion of the student population because as a group they do more poorly in meeting admissions standards – and it is not about the Benjamins. The real problem is that in our PC society no one has the gazuntas to explore this issue as it may reveal that all people are not created equal after all. Or is it just environmental cultural differences??????

I get you have a concern about the issue but that is not even what the point of this article is about. If you have an issue please take this to the site we have and only post your opinion about the actual topic

This is not at all what the article is talking about.

This literally has nothing to do with the article brought up. You should really take your opinions somewhere else before you speak about something that doesn’t make sense.

we have the same name

so they have the same name what of it?

lol you tell her

totally agree

What does that have to do with homework, that is not what the article talks about AT ALL.

Yes, I think homework plays an important role in the development of student life. Through homework, students have to face challenges on a daily basis and they try to solve them quickly.I am an intense online tutor at 24x7homeworkhelp and I give homework to my students at that level in which they handle it easily.

More than two-thirds of students said they used alcohol and drugs, primarily marijuana, to cope with stress.

You know what’s funny? I got this assignment to write an argument for homework about homework and this article was really helpful and understandable, and I also agree with this article’s point of view.

I also got the same task as you! I was looking for some good resources and I found this! I really found this article useful and easy to understand, just like you! ^^

i think that homework is the best thing that a child can have on the school because it help them with their thinking and memory.

I am a child myself and i think homework is a terrific pass time because i can’t play video games during the week. It also helps me set goals.

Homework is not harmful ,but it will if there is too much

I feel like, from a minors point of view that we shouldn’t get homework. Not only is the homework stressful, but it takes us away from relaxing and being social. For example, me and my friends was supposed to hang at the mall last week but we had to postpone it since we all had some sort of work to do. Our minds shouldn’t be focused on finishing an assignment that in realty, doesn’t matter. I completely understand that we should have homework. I have to write a paper on the unimportance of homework so thanks.

homework isn’t that bad

Are you a student? if not then i don’t really think you know how much and how severe todays homework really is

i am a student and i do not enjoy homework because i practice my sport 4 out of the five days we have school for 4 hours and that’s not even counting the commute time or the fact i still have to shower and eat dinner when i get home. its draining!

i totally agree with you. these people are such boomers

why just why

they do make a really good point, i think that there should be a limit though. hours and hours of homework can be really stressful, and the extra work isn’t making a difference to our learning, but i do believe homework should be optional and extra credit. that would make it for students to not have the leaning stress of a assignment and if you have a low grade you you can catch up.

Studies show that homework improves student achievement in terms of improved grades, test results, and the likelihood to attend college. Research published in the High School Journal indicates that students who spent between 31 and 90 minutes each day on homework “scored about 40 points higher on the SAT-Mathematics subtest than their peers, who reported spending no time on homework each day, on average.” On both standardized tests and grades, students in classes that were assigned homework outperformed 69% of students who didn’t have homework. A majority of studies on homework’s impact – 64% in one meta-study and 72% in another – showed that take home assignments were effective at improving academic achievement. Research by the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) concluded that increased homework led to better GPAs and higher probability of college attendance for high school boys. In fact, boys who attended college did more than three hours of additional homework per week in high school.

So how are your measuring student achievement? That’s the real question. The argument that doing homework is simply a tool for teaching responsibility isn’t enough for me. We can teach responsibility in a number of ways. Also the poor argument that parents don’t need to help with homework, and that students can do it on their own, is wishful thinking at best. It completely ignores neurodiverse students. Students in poverty aren’t magically going to find a space to do homework, a friend’s or siblings to help them do it, and snacks to eat. I feel like the author of this piece has never set foot in a classroom of students.

THIS. This article is pathetic coming from a university. So intellectually dishonest, refusing to address the havoc of capitalism and poverty plays on academic success in life. How can they in one sentence use poor kids in an argument and never once address that poor children have access to damn near 0 of the resources affluent kids have? Draw me a picture and let’s talk about feelings lmao what a joke is that gonna put food in their belly so they can have the calories to burn in order to use their brain to study? What about quiet their 7 other siblings that they share a single bedroom with for hours? Is it gonna force the single mom to magically be at home and at work at the same time to cook food while you study and be there to throw an encouraging word?

Also the “parents don’t need to be a parent and be able to guide their kid at all academically they just need to exist in the next room” is wild. Its one thing if a parent straight up is not equipped but to say kids can just figured it out is…. wow coming from an educator What’s next the teacher doesn’t need to teach cause the kid can just follow the packet and figure it out?

Well then get a tutor right? Oh wait you are poor only affluent kids can afford a tutor for their hours of homework a day were they on average have none of the worries a poor child does. Does this address that poor children are more likely to also suffer abuse and mental illness? Like mentioned what about kids that can’t learn or comprehend the forced standardized way? Just let em fail? These children regularly are not in “special education”(some of those are a joke in their own and full of neglect and abuse) programs cause most aren’t even acknowledged as having disabilities or disorders.

But yes all and all those pesky poor kids just aren’t being worked hard enough lol pretty sure poor children’s existence just in childhood is more work, stress, and responsibility alone than an affluent child’s entire life cycle. Love they never once talked about the quality of education in the classroom being so bad between the poor and affluent it can qualify as segregation, just basically blamed poor people for being lazy, good job capitalism for failing us once again!

why the hell?

you should feel bad for saying this, this article can be helpful for people who has to write a essay about it

This is more of a political rant than it is about homework

I know a teacher who has told his students their homework is to find something they are interested in, pursue it and then come share what they learn. The student responses are quite compelling. One girl taught herself German so she could talk to her grandfather. One boy did a research project on Nelson Mandela because the teacher had mentioned him in class. Another boy, a both on the autism spectrum, fixed his family’s computer. The list goes on. This is fourth grade. I think students are highly motivated to learn, when we step aside and encourage them.

The whole point of homework is to give the students a chance to use the material that they have been presented with in class. If they never have the opportunity to use that information, and discover that it is actually useful, it will be in one ear and out the other. As a science teacher, it is critical that the students are challenged to use the material they have been presented with, which gives them the opportunity to actually think about it rather than regurgitate “facts”. Well designed homework forces the student to think conceptually, as opposed to regurgitation, which is never a pretty sight

Wonderful discussion. and yes, homework helps in learning and building skills in students.

not true it just causes kids to stress

Homework can be both beneficial and unuseful, if you will. There are students who are gifted in all subjects in school and ones with disabilities. Why should the students who are gifted get the lucky break, whereas the people who have disabilities suffer? The people who were born with this “gift” go through school with ease whereas people with disabilities struggle with the work given to them. I speak from experience because I am one of those students: the ones with disabilities. Homework doesn’t benefit “us”, it only tears us down and put us in an abyss of confusion and stress and hopelessness because we can’t learn as fast as others. Or we can’t handle the amount of work given whereas the gifted students go through it with ease. It just brings us down and makes us feel lost; because no mater what, it feels like we are destined to fail. It feels like we weren’t “cut out” for success.

homework does help

here is the thing though, if a child is shoved in the face with a whole ton of homework that isn’t really even considered homework it is assignments, it’s not helpful. the teacher should make homework more of a fun learning experience rather than something that is dreaded

This article was wonderful, I am going to ask my teachers about extra, or at all giving homework.

I agree. Especially when you have homework before an exam. Which is distasteful as you’ll need that time to study. It doesn’t make any sense, nor does us doing homework really matters as It’s just facts thrown at us.

Homework is too severe and is just too much for students, schools need to decrease the amount of homework. When teachers assign homework they forget that the students have other classes that give them the same amount of homework each day. Students need to work on social skills and life skills.

I disagree.

Beyond achievement, proponents of homework argue that it can have many other beneficial effects. They claim it can help students develop good study habits so they are ready to grow as their cognitive capacities mature. It can help students recognize that learning can occur at home as well as at school. Homework can foster independent learning and responsible character traits. And it can give parents an opportunity to see what’s going on at school and let them express positive attitudes toward achievement.

Homework is helpful because homework helps us by teaching us how to learn a specific topic.

As a student myself, I can say that I have almost never gotten the full 9 hours of recommended sleep time, because of homework. (Now I’m writing an essay on it in the middle of the night D=)

I am a 10 year old kid doing a report about “Is homework good or bad” for homework before i was going to do homework is bad but the sources from this site changed my mind!

Homeowkr is god for stusenrs

I agree with hunter because homework can be so stressful especially with this whole covid thing no one has time for homework and every one just wants to get back to there normal lives it is especially stressful when you go on a 2 week vaca 3 weeks into the new school year and and then less then a week after you come back from the vaca you are out for over a month because of covid and you have no way to get the assignment done and turned in

As great as homework is said to be in the is article, I feel like the viewpoint of the students was left out. Every where I go on the internet researching about this topic it almost always has interviews from teachers, professors, and the like. However isn’t that a little biased? Of course teachers are going to be for homework, they’re not the ones that have to stay up past midnight completing the homework from not just one class, but all of them. I just feel like this site is one-sided and you should include what the students of today think of spending four hours every night completing 6-8 classes worth of work.

Are we talking about homework or practice? Those are two very different things and can result in different outcomes.

Homework is a graded assignment. I do not know of research showing the benefits of graded assignments going home.

Practice; however, can be extremely beneficial, especially if there is some sort of feedback (not a grade but feedback). That feedback can come from the teacher, another student or even an automated grading program.

As a former band director, I assigned daily practice. I never once thought it would be appropriate for me to require the students to turn in a recording of their practice for me to grade. Instead, I had in-class assignments/assessments that were graded and directly related to the practice assigned.

I would really like to read articles on “homework” that truly distinguish between the two.

oof i feel bad good luck!

thank you guys for the artical because I have to finish an assingment. yes i did cite it but just thanks

thx for the article guys.

Homework is good

I think homework is helpful AND harmful. Sometimes u can’t get sleep bc of homework but it helps u practice for school too so idk.

I agree with this Article. And does anyone know when this was published. I would like to know.

It was published FEb 19, 2019.

Studies have shown that homework improved student achievement in terms of improved grades, test results, and the likelihood to attend college.

i think homework can help kids but at the same time not help kids

This article is so out of touch with majority of homes it would be laughable if it wasn’t so incredibly sad.

There is no value to homework all it does is add stress to already stressed homes. Parents or adults magically having the time or energy to shepherd kids through homework is dome sort of 1950’s fantasy.

What lala land do these teachers live in?

Homework gives noting to the kid

Homework is Bad

homework is bad.

why do kids even have homework?

The bright future of working from home

There seems to be an endless tide of depressing news in this era of COVID-19. But one silver lining is the long-run explosion of working from home. Since March I have been talking to dozens of CEOs, senior managers, policymakers and journalists about the future of working from home. This has built on my own personal experience from running surveys about working from home and  an experiment  published in 2015 which saw a 13 percent increase in productivity by employees at a Chinese travel company called Ctrip who worked from home.

So here a few key themes that can hopefully make for some good news:

Mass working from home is here to stay

Once the COVID-19 pandemic passes, rates of people working from home will explode. In 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics  figures show  that 8 percent of all employees worked from home at least one day a week.

I see these numbers more than doubling in a post-pandemic world.  I suspect almost all employees who can work from home —  which is estimated  at about 40 percent of employees ­— will be allowed to work from home at least one day a week.

Why? Consider these three reasons

Fear of crowds.

Even if COVID-19 passes, the fear of future pandemics will motivate people to move away from urban centers and avoid public transport. So firms will struggle to get their employees back to the office on a daily basis. With the pandemic, working from home has become a standard perk, like sick-leave or health insurance.

Investments in telecommuting technology

By now, we have plenty of experience working from home. We’ve become adept at video conferencing. We’ve fine-tuned our home offices and rescheduled our days. Similarly, offices have tried out, improved and refined life for home-based work forces. In short, we have all paid the startup cost for learning how to work from home, making it far easier to continue.

The end of stigma

Finally, the stigma of working from home has evaporated. Before COVID-19, I frequently heard comments like, “working from home is shirking from home,” or “working remotely is remotely working.” I remember Boris Johnson, who was Mayor of London in 2012 when the London Olympics closed the city down for three weeks, saying working from home was “a skivers paradise.” No longer. All of us have now tried this and we understand we can potentially work effectively — if you have your own room and no kids — at home.

Of course, working from home was already trending up due to improved technology and remote monitoring. It is relatively cheap and easy to buy a top-end laptop and connect it to broadband internet service. This technology also makes it easier to monitor employees at home. Indeed, one senior manager recently told me: “We already track our employees — we know how many emails they send, meetings they attend or documents they write using our office management system. So monitoring them at home is really no different from monitoring them in the office. I see how they are doing and what they are doing whether they are at home or in the office.”

This is not only good news for firms in terms of boosting employee morale while improving productivity, but can also free up significant office space. In our China experiment, Ctrip calculated it increased profits by $2,000 per employee who worked from home.

Best practices in working from home post pandemic

Many of us are currently working from home full-time, with kids in the house, often in shared rooms, bedrooms or even bathrooms. So if working from home is going to continue and even increase once the pandemic is over, there are a few lessons we’ve learned to make telecommuting more effective. Let’s take a look:

Working from home should be part-time

I think the ideal schedule is Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the office and Tuesday and Thursday at home. Most of us need time in the office to stay motivated and creative. Face-to-face meetings are important for spurring and developing new ideas, and at least personally I find it hard to stay focused day after day at home. But we also need peaceful time at home to concentrate, undertake longer-term thinking and often to catch-up on tedious paperwork. And spending the same regular three days in the office each week means we can schedule meetings, lunches, coffees, etc., around that, and plan our “concentration work” during our two days at home.

The choice of Tuesday and Thursday at home comes from talking to managers who are often fearful that a work-from-home day — particularly if attached to a weekend — will turn into a beach day. So Tuesday and Thursday at home avoids creating a big block of days that the boss and the boss of the boss may fear employees may use for unauthorized mini-breaks.

Working from home should be a choice

I found in the Ctrip experiment that many people did not want to work from home. Of the 1,000 employees we asked, only 50 percent volunteered to work from home four days a week for a nine-month stretch. Those who took the offer were typically older married employees with kids. For many younger workers, the office is a core part of their social life, and like the Chinese employees, would happily commute in and out of work each day to see their colleagues. Indeed,  surveys in the U.S.  suggest up to one-third of us meet our future spouses at work.

Working from home should be flexible

After the end of the 9-month Ctrip experiment, we asked all volunteers if they wanted to continue working from home. Surprisingly, 50 percent of them opted to return to the office. The saying is “the three great enemies of working from home are the fridge, the bed and the TV,” and many of them fell victim to one of them. They told us it was hard to predict in advance, but after a couple of months working from home they figured out if it worked for them or not. And after we let the less-successful home-based employees return to the office, those remaining had a 25 percent higher rate of productivity.

Working from home is a privilege

Working from home for employees should be a perk. In our Ctrip experiment, home-based workers increased their productivity by 13 percent. So on average were being highly productive. But there is always the fear that one or two employees may abuse the system. So those whose performance drops at home should be warned, and if necessary recalled into the office for a couple of months before they are given a second chance.

There are two other impacts of working from home that should be addressed

The first deals with the decline in prices for urban commercial and residential spaces. The impact of a massive roll-out in working from home is likely to be falling demand for both housing and office space in the center of cities like New York and San Francisco. Ever since the 1980s, the centers of large U.S. cities have become denser and more expensive. Younger graduate workers in particular have flocked to city centers and pushed up housing and office prices. This 40-year year bull run  has ended .

If prices fell back to their levels in say the 1990s or 2000s this would lead to massive drops of 50 percent or more in city-center apartment and office prices. In reverse, the suburbs may be staging a comeback. If COVID-19 pushed people to part-time working from home and part-time commuting by car, the suburbs are the natural place to locate these smaller drivable offices. The upside to this is the affordability crisis of apartments in city centers could be coming to an end as property prices drop.

The second impact I see is a risk of increased political polarization. In the 1950s, Americans all watched the same media, often lived in similar areas and attended similar schools. By the 2020s, media has become fragmented, residential segregation by income has  increased dramatically , and even our schools are starting to fragment with the rise of charter schools.

The one constant equalizer — until recently — was the workplace. We all have to come into work and talk to our colleagues. Hence, those on the extreme left or right are forced to confront others over lunch and in breaks, hopefully moderating their views. If we end up increasing our time at home — particularly during the COVID lock-down — I worry about an explosion of radical political views.

But with an understanding of these risks and some forethought for how to mitigate them, a future with more of us working from home can certainly work well.

Home Schooling Essays

by czary Jacek (Poland)

School versus Homeschooling

Some people believe that teaching children at home is best for a child's development while others think that it is important for children to go to school. Discuss the advantages of both methods and give your own opinion. Many people are in debate about whether children should be home-schooled or traditionally-schooled, and which of the two methods would be better for the child's development. While studying privately means the child will be getting a more focused and tailored education, traditional schools provide children with social and physical advantages that home-schooling does not. In this essay, I will discuss the benefits of both preferences and explain why I believe that children should be made to go into school rather than being restricted to text-book education. Parents who choose to get private tutors for their children tend to believe that they will be getting a better education and will be smarter than publicly educated children. This is because the one to one ratio means that the child is getting all of the teacher's attention, in comparison with public school where the teacher has to divide his/her attention between twenty or thirty different children. For instance, if a tutor see's that their pupil is struggling with algebra, it would be much easier to identify and address it. Whereas, in public schools the teacher might not know unless it is raised by the student or parent. Even then, it would be difficult to find the time and energy to help the individual student. In this aspect home-schooling might be more advantageous than public schooling. Nevertheless, the other components of child education and development should still be explored. Being taught with other children has numerous advantages that are often overlooked by supporters of home-schooling. One very obvious benefit is social interaction and its importance in dealing with strangers, learning social etiquette, building relationships and much more. Children who are given the opportunity to interact with other children and adults, will be far more socially advanced than those who are secluded to their homes. Furthermore, children who are publicly educated are able to explore and develop more interests than their privately tutored peers. For example, most school goers will play team games with their class at some point during their school years; through this they might find a new interest or hobby, they will be able to learn new skills, interact and experience competition but most importantly enjoy themselves. Through these interactions they also create relationships that extend beyond the school grounds. These are opportunities that can rarely be described for homeschooled children. The social components and fully experiencing childhood is fundamental to healthy development and must not be overlooked when choosing from the two options. In my opinion, the social advantages gained from public school surpass the academic advantages of home-schooling. This is because while the child will learn better if his/her classes are tailored to his or her need, they may never encounter the social experiences from which they can extract skills or enjoy the atmosphere of being with similar aged children. The aim of school is to prepare children for adult life and equip them with the skills they may need at that time, irregardless of whether they progress into academic disciplines or not. Education gaps can be corrected by parents at home or after school tutoring where necessary, meanwhile there is no substitute for the social benefits of school. In conclusion, parents choose which style of teaching best fits their expectations for their children. While some go with home tutoring, others go with traditional schooling; they both come with varying advantages. This essay discussed the main advantage of traditional schooling versus homeschooling in relation to the child’s development. It highlighted the academic benefits of private learning, as well as the social and personal gains of public school education, and explained why I think that traditional methods of schooling are far more advantageous than homeschooling.

Teaching Children at Home Essay

by Marius M

Some people believe that teaching children at home is best for a child's development while others think that it is important for children to go to school. Discuss the advantages of both methods and give your own opinion. This topic is a point of contention amongst parents and teachers in today's ever changing world I think there are many advantages for home schooling one of the most important being a more flexible approach to training a child. A parent is easily able to adjust the difficulty of lessons to cater to the child's learning capacity and level. Home schooling could also involving self-training methods and many success stories in the world today are based on this especially in the world of tech and computer. A good example being silicon valley company founders such as Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs amongst others. The advantage being that sometimes the school curriculum is not quick enough to meet the speed at which areas in tech are moving with. Inspite of the strong points made by parents and tutors as to the importance of home schooling, as with most things, there is a myriad of reasons supporting a child's development from teaching in school. Principal of this being the fact that home schooling is an artificial representation of the real world and hinders children from developing useful skills required to deal with life when they grow. The reality is life does not wait for any one and if kids are made to believe that classes and therefore life will be tailored to their capacities only, then there would struggle to adapt to the real world when they become adults. An example of this can be seen when the children of celebrities who were home-schooled as kids but who struggle as adults and keep away from the outside world. I am of the opinion that schooling for kids is a delicate issue and should be handled with balance. I believe that it would be helpful for kids to attend school during term time, while during vacation period home schooling should come into effect to catch up with any gaps the child has versus school curriculum or advance their learning further. When deemed together, the success stories of home-schooling and the merits of going to school means it serves a better purpose combining the two.

196 Home Essay Topic Ideas & Examples

🌎 writing an outstanding home essay, 👍 good essay topics on home, 🎓 simple & easy home essay titles, ✅ good research topics about home, ✍️ home essay topics for college, 📝 interesting topics to write about home.

You may be required to write a home essay in school or in a variety of higher education programs, particularly those in social sciences.

You may be required to describe your hometown and how it affected your childhood and adolescence. Alternately, the essay may cover your dream house and what you would like to see in it.

Such essays generally appreciate originality and cleverness, and you should make them interesting and engaging. However, you should not go overboard with additions and expressions, as some of them may be excessive or unnecessary.

This article will help you understand what you should and should not do when writing a home essay of either variety. When discussing the topic of your hometown, you should consider a variety of aspects, as this sort of essay is not solely about yourself.

Your family biography would be a good choice among various home essay topics to provide background to your childhood and describe your upbringing.

Prominent memories would also be helpful, as your perception of your childhood tends to be the primary focus of this variety of essay. As such, you should not discuss factors that you learned about later on unless they are directly relevant to the story.

You should also try to avoid letting such knowledge twist what you remember of the circumstances. You may note that you later learned that the reality was different from what you remember as a child, but you should always mention the latter.

When discussing your ideas of a perfect house, you will want to cover a variety of aspects. The physical parameters, such as location, size, design, color scheme, and many other options you have to consider when furnishing your home are important topics.

However, the essay will want you to provide a more complete picture, including your idea of your future family and other inhabitants.

Examples of what you can use include what pets you would like to have, possibly with details such as breed and gender, and other home essay titles.

However, you should generally not reveal too many private details and be non-specific about your family. The essay is primarily about yourself, and the family should be described in basic details such as the number of children.

Here are some additional tips for your writing process:

• When you are writing an essay about your home in school, you will usually want to concentrate on its current state. Discuss your family and possibly contemplate how your neighborhood changed throughout your upbringing.
• Try to avoid overly concentrating on any one aspect of your dream house at the expense of others. The purpose of the essay is to create a comprehensive picture of your ideal. As such, you want to talk about many different things that will come to your head.
• The essay is personal and not scholarly, and so you do not have to write in a formal academic style. You are free to separate it by topics and use section titles if you wish, provided the paper is long enough. However, you should still avoid colloquialisms and other non-literary language.
• Many people will have similar ideas of their ideal living conditions, ones close to the overall societal norm. It is not necessary for everyone to introduce outlandish ideas just to be different from the rest, as the small differences are more important.

Let’s take a look…

100 Words Essay on Good Study Habits

Setting a study schedule.

Creating a study plan helps you manage time wisely. Choose a time of day when you can focus best, maybe after a snack or playtime. Stick to this schedule every day to make studying a normal part of your routine.

Quiet Study Space

Find a peaceful place at home where you can study without noise. Keep this area clean and organized with all your study materials, like books and pencils, so you won’t be distracted looking for things.

Taking Breaks

Studying for too long can make you tired. After every 30 minutes, take a short break. Walk around or stretch to feel fresh and ready to learn more.

Asking Questions

When you don’t understand something, ask a teacher, parent, or friend for help. It’s important to clear up confusion right away so you can keep learning without any doubts.

Reviewing Your Notes

After school, go over your notes from class. This helps you remember what you learned and makes homework easier. Before tests, read your notes again to prepare.

250 Words Essay on Good Study Habits

To build good study habits, making a plan is key. Think of it like a timetable that tells you what to study and when. It’s important because it helps you use your time wisely. Try to study at the same times each day so your brain gets into a routine.

Creating a Perfect Study Spot

Your study area should be quiet, comfortable, and free from distractions. Keep your books and supplies in this spot so you’re ready to get to work. A good study space helps you focus and do your best.

Taking Notes

When you’re learning something new, write down the important points. Your notes can be short and simple. Later, you can read them again to remember what you learned. This makes studying for tests easier.

Asking for Help

If something is hard to understand, don’t be shy to ask for help. You can talk to your teacher, friends, or family. They can explain things in a different way that might make more sense to you.

Reviewing Often

Go over your notes a little bit every day. This is better than waiting until the day before a test. When you review often, the information stays fresh in your mind.

Rest and Health

Good sleep and eating healthy are part of studying well. Your brain needs rest to work at its best. Try to sleep enough and choose healthy snacks when you’re studying.

Remember, good study habits are about being regular, organized, and taking care of yourself. Stick to these simple rules, and you’ll be able to learn better and remember more.

500 Words Essay on Good Study Habits

Understanding good study habits.

Good study habits are like secret tools that help you learn better and faster. Imagine your brain as a garden. Just like a garden needs the right care to grow, your brain needs good habits to learn new things. These habits can make studying less hard and more fun.

Planning Your Study Time

One important habit is planning when to study. Think of it like setting up a playdate with your books. You choose a time when you can focus without being disturbed, maybe after a snack or playtime. Having a set time every day trains your brain to be ready to learn at that time.

Creating a Study Space

Your study space is like your personal learning zone. It should be quiet, tidy, and have everything you need, like pencils, paper, and your books. A good space helps you focus and keeps you from wasting time looking for things.

Setting Goals

Setting goals is like having a treasure map for your studies. You decide what you want to learn or how much you want to read each day. Small goals can lead to big wins, and when you reach your goal, it feels great!

Taking notes is like drawing your own learning map. When you write down important points from what you’re studying, it helps you remember them better. Your notes are a quick guide that you can look at before tests.

When you don’t understand something, asking questions is a super power. It’s okay not to know everything. Asking helps you learn, and teachers are there to help you understand.

Going over what you’ve learned, again and again, is like practicing a sport. The more you review, the better you remember. You can use flashcards, read your notes, or teach someone else what you’ve learned.

Staying Organized

Keeping your notes, books, and schedule organized is like keeping your toys in order. When everything is in the right place, you can find what you need quickly and it makes studying easier.

Just like you need rest after playing, your brain needs breaks during study time. Short breaks help you stay fresh and pay attention. You can stretch, walk around, or just close your eyes for a few minutes.

Staying Healthy

Eating well, sleeping enough, and moving your body keep your brain sharp. Think of healthy habits as fuel for your brain. Just like a car needs gas to run, your brain needs good food and rest to work best.

Getting Help When Needed

Sometimes, even with good habits, studying can be tough. It’s smart to ask for help when you need it. This could be from a teacher, a family member, or a friend. Everyone needs help sometimes, and it’s a part of learning.

In conclusion, good study habits are key to doing well in school and learning new things. By planning your time, setting up a nice study space, writing goals, taking notes, and asking questions, you can become a super learner. Remember to review what you’ve learned, stay organized, take breaks, stay healthy, and get help when you need it. These habits will make studying easier and more successful for you.

That’s it! I hope the essay helped you.

Homeschooling is the fastest-growing education setting in the United States. More than 3 million students were educated at home in the 2021-22 school year, up from 2.5 million in the spring of 2019. Current estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that there are 3.62 million students homeschooled in the United States . That’s a meteoric increase from about 1 million in 1997.

Some experts, including Harvard law professor Elizabeth Bartholet , find the increase a cause to call for greater regulation . University of Washington education policy professor David Knight agrees, citing a lack of accountability and measures of student progress. Knight also worries about an absence of certain disciplines such as social studies that public schools are required to teach.

For those of us who have researched the homeschool movement and studied its past, these are not new concerns. So what do we know about homeschooling and preparedness for college?

Data shows homeschooled students fare well

In 2020, we reviewed the evidence about how well homeschooling prepares people for college, career and life and published what we learned in a book chapter titled: “ Life after Homeschool .”

We found evidence that homeschooled students are just as prepared academically for higher education as traditionally schooled peers. In one study, researchers drew a sample of 825,672 students – including 732 students who had been homeschooled – and found the homeschooled group scored higher on several measures of college preparedness, including the SAT and first-year GPA in college.

Ave Maria University education professor Marc Snyder came to similar results in a 2013 study. Snyder compared homeschooled and traditional students at his Catholic university in Florida to find the average ACT scores for homeschooled students was 26. Public school students averaged 24.22, and students who attended Catholic schools averaged 24.53.

Snyder’s study reinforces data from the ACT itself. The testing outlet reported that from 2001-2019, the average ACT scores for homeschooled students trended up , while public school students’ scores declined slightly. In 2023, the national average on the ACT was 19.9 ; the average for homeschoolers was 22.8.

Areas of concern abound as homeschool growth accelerates

Still, calls for regulation persist because of a host of challenges homeschooled students present. The Coalition for Responsible Home Education wants states to require minimal qualifications of a high school diploma or GED for the parent providing primary instruction, instruction for students in the same subjects as in public schools, and annual standardized assessments. In some states, they note, parents don’t even have to tell their local school district of their intent to homeschool.

The pro-regulation side points to studies showing homeschooled students feel less prepared for college and are four times less likely to go to college after high school. Homeschool students also take an average of one fewer math and science course than traditional peers.

Homeschooled students also often lack resources and guidance provided in traditional high schools for college prep. And social challenges abound when these students transition; a study of seven homeschooled graduates in Pennsylvania found students struggling to maintain their existing moral beliefs related to drinking, drug use and sexual norms, with the majority admitting they changed some beliefs and practices.

There’s also data that shows homeschooled students find the more structured academic environment on university campuses to be difficult to adjust to after a more lax experience learning at home.

Still, efforts to regulate homeschooling face opposition from parents as well as advocacy groups such as the Home School Legal Defense Association . In March 2024, for example, these forces defeated an attempt in New Hampshire to require homeschool students to take a statewide exam.

3 ways to improve homeschooling

To help homeschooled students transition to college, we recommend parents take three steps to better prepare their kids.

Prioritize math and science to help address the math and science gap. Parents can use online courses offered through virtual high schools or employ tutors.

Enroll in dual-credit or community college courses to provide a taste of the structure of college life and to interact with peers from diverse backgrounds.

Talk to children about the diversity of perspectives they will encounter at college. This can help prepare them for how to negotiate and respect the opinions of others.

Homeschooled students can successfully transition to college and compete with their peers. The challenges they face are entirely foreseeable, which means they can be addressed easily.

Distractions are another common hurdle. With the advent of technology, there are now more distractions than ever before. It can be all too easy to get sucked into browsing the internet, playing games, or watching TV when you should be studying.

A lack of motivation is also a common hurdle. This can be caused by many things such as stress, boredom, or a lack of interest in the subject. When students are not motivated to study, it can be difficult to get them to do any work at all.

In order to study effectively, there are a few things that students can do. Firstly, they should create a dedicated study space which is free from distractions. Secondly, they should make use of resources such as books, websites, and apps to help them learn. Finally, they should make a study schedule and stick to it. By following these tips, students can ensure that they are getting the most out of their studies.

The Impact and Mechanics of Propaganda: Case Studies Across History and Media

This essay about the pervasive role of propaganda throughout history examines how it shapes societies, politics, and media. It discusses historical instances, such as Nazi Germany and the Cold War, highlighting propaganda’s role in shaping ideologies and manipulating public perception. The text also explores propaganda’s evolution in the digital age and its potential for both harmful manipulation and beneficial advocacy. Finally, it advocates for ethical propaganda use to ensure it supports truth and democratic values.

How it works

Propaganda, both subtle and potent, has intricately woven itself into the fabric of human history, profoundly influencing societies, shaping political arenas, and altering media narratives worldwide. Its pervasive impact reverberates through time and space, molding beliefs, directing ideologies, and steering historical events. A deeper examination into the complex machinery and diverse instances of propaganda reveals a compelling narrative of human persuasion, where facts and distortions often engage in a nuanced and elusive dance.

At its core, propaganda functions as a sophisticated ensemble, expertly directing emotions, beliefs, and prejudices to create a powerful symphony of influence that deeply resonates with its target audience.

It employs the selective disclosure of facts, the crafting of compelling narratives, and the strategic vilification of opponents, enabling propagandists to shape perceptions as deftly as sculptors mold their creations.

Historically, one of the most chilling examples of propaganda is seen in Nazi Germany during Adolf Hitler’s reign. Spearheaded by Joseph Goebbels, the Reich Minister of Propaganda, the regime skillfully used media tools such as radio, film, and print, along with massive public gatherings, to propagate a terrifying narrative of hate and deception. This propaganda championed Aryan supremacy, demonized Jews and other marginalized communities, and exalted the Nazi ideology, ultimately facilitating horrific acts of violence and marking one of humanity’s darkest periods.

Meanwhile, the Cold War era saw the American and Soviet governments engage in intense propaganda efforts. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) covertly supported cultural endeavors, media, and political movements to promote capitalism and democracy and counteract communism. Conversely, the Soviet Union employed its vast media network to promote Marxist-Leninist ideals and depict the West as corrupt and greedy.

However, the reach of propaganda extends beyond political spheres, infiltrating commercial and social domains. In advertising, it transforms into a tool of consumer persuasion, drawing individuals towards brands through emotionally charged narratives and compelling visuals. Likewise, social media has become a modern arena for ideological conflicts, with algorithms often prioritizing sensational content that may lack factual accuracy.

In today’s digital realm, the dynamics of propaganda have evolved dramatically. The spread of misinformation and disinformation risks overwhelming genuine discourse, with advanced technologies like deepfakes further obscuring the line between reality and fabrication, fostering doubt and discord.

Nevertheless, there remains a beacon of hope. Propaganda is not inherently malevolent and can be used to promote beneficial causes such as public health, social justice, and humanitarian efforts. The ethical application of propaganda, however, requires a commitment to transparency, integrity, and truth, ensuring it serves to enlighten rather than deceive.

Ultimately, the fight against manipulative propaganda is a crusade for humanity’s soul, aiming to wrest control of the narrative from the hands of deceit and reestablish truth’s dominance in public discourse. By remaining vigilant, embracing education, and adhering to democratic values and personal freedoms, society can navigate towards a future lit by reason and understanding.

Tiny home villages more effective than group shelters at getting formerly homeless people permanently housed, study finds

• Updated: May. 12, 2024, 10:04 p.m. |
• Published: May. 12, 2024, 5:30 a.m.

Portland's Clinton Triangle mass tiny home site is location just off of Powell Boulevard in Southeast Portland. While creation of a mass outdoor living site was initially criticized by some local policymakers, it has proved effective at helping get many of its residents into permanent housing.

• Nicole Hayden | The Oregonian/OregonLive

Alisha Wilks was severely ill, living in a truck with her boyfriend and unable to keep a steady job. With crippling pain and disease, she wasn’t sure how she would afford a home. And without a home , she wasn’t sure her body would ever heal.

She has lupus, heart disease, a thyroid disorder and a hernia.

In July, however, the couple was offered a tiny home at Portland’s Clinton Triangle mass sleeping pod site on the Central Eastside. They eagerly became two of the triangle’s 203 residents, living in a 10 x 10 tiny home with a locking door, bed and a heating and cooling unit.

“Each day I rest and take care of myself, I can feel and see myself getting better,” said Wilks, 37. “I want to make sure I am healthy before I get housing because I don’t want a home to get taken away from me because I am too sick to take care of it or afford it.”

Wilks has found the support she needs to do just that, she said.

She isn’t alone. Tiny homes outperform mass shelters, according to a Portland State University study. The study found houseless individuals are more likely to move into permanent housing if they seek shelter in a tiny home community instead of being consigned to a congregate shelter, which had long been considered the solution for getting people off the streets.

Wilks said she and her partner felt supported to tackle their most challenging housing barriers in a safe place without being rushed through hard stages, such as addressing health concerns.

Of those who stayed in a Portland area tiny home village in the past several years, 36% of the county tiny home village residents and 16% of the city’s safe rest village residents, moved on to permanent housing, according to the study. Just 12% of congregate shelter guests achieved that same outcome. The data reflect people who moved in or out of shelters of either type in Multnomah County between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2023.

“This may be due in part to the shorter stays in adult congregate shelters, which limits the time available to connect someone with an extremely constrained supply of affordable or supportive housing,” the report said.

The village model is also faster to build and more attractive to occupants, as it offers greater privacy. Villages have the lowest initial capital cost per unit, if the land on which they stand is provided for free, the study found. But over the long term, they may be more expensive than motel or congregate shelters if the tiny homes must be replaced due to wear and tear, it said. And operating costs are higher for villages than congregate shelters despite similar staffing levels.

“While total staffing ratios were similar across shelter types, villages had more staff committed to case management and housing placement,” said Jacen Greene, who was on the Portland State research team. “While we didn’t have enough detail to determine if this accounted for the cost difference, it’s reasonable to assume that these staff are paid better than staff who are responsible for, say, cleaning.”

TIME TO HEAL

Since Wilks moved into the large sleeping pod site about 10 months ago, she has been hospitalized twice but has “never felt so loved,” she said.

“Urban Alchemy staff came and got me from the hospital and they made me feel cared about and like it is worth living,” Wilks said. “This is really a place you can restart and see a light at the end of the tunnel.”

Before she feels comfortable actively seeking permanent housing, she needs hernia surgery and to finish applying for federal disability payments, which often takes multiple attempts, she said. A caseworker at the Clinton Triangle village is helping her.

The Portland State study documented similar experiences of other Multnomah County tiny home residents.

“It feels like I’m a step closer to my ultimate goal of stable housing,” an unnamed person l iving at a county tiny home shelter told researchers. “It’s definitely a step above being in a (congregate) shelter where … just your basic needs” are met.

Wilks spends her days taking care of her dog Mocha, an 8-year-old Chihuahua, while her boyfriend works. Since his worksite is nearby, he often checks on her to make sure she is feeling well during the day and, until recently, largely took care of her while she recovered from medical procedures. Now that Wilks is starting to feel better, she has become more social in the village, participating in community meals and doing art projects.

While she thinks the shelter staff are supportive, she is sometimes bothered by other village residents going through their own hard experiences. But she said that’s just part of the experience of living in a community of individuals who are working to overcome challenges that led to their homelessness.

“It can feel rough around here since some people are dealing with mental illness and substance use and that sometimes results in people yelling and screaming which can impact other people’s (post-traumatic stress disorder). But the staff deal with everyone with such patience,” she said.

The Clinton Triangle community provides a nurse, peer support, employment help, case management for housing and mental health services. Ten couches in the center of the site’s central building act as a community space where people can eat, commune, watch television or find a more sprawling space than their tiny home offers.

In just under two years, the city has served 1,212 people across the Clinton Triangle and seven other tiny home villages. Of the 459 people who have left the villages, 69% exited to permanent housing, said villages spokesperson Bryan Aptekar. He said that success rate is both higher and more up-to-date than what the Portland State study reported, as it includes people who left villages as recently as March 2024.

MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE

Just outside the Clinton Triangle’s central building, residents find a dog park that serves about 50 dogs, including a dozen puppies that were born at the village.

“We are trying to meet people where they are at, and we are one of the lowest barrier shelters” in the Portland area, said Jeff Dickey, Urban Alchemy’s operations director for Portland. “People won’t come without their pets, and really, all of the dogs offer emotional support.”

The shelter receives pet food donations and free vet services from a local nonprofit called the Portland Animal Welfare Team, which provides free or low-cost vet services to people who are unhoused.

Robin Leisure, 54, wouldn’t have moved into one of the tiny homes in January if she couldn’t have brought her 3-year-old pit bull, Luchi, with her.

“Life is much better here than outside,” she said. She said she no longer fears someone will throw a firework or other explosive underneath the trailer that served as their home.

“We don’t have to worry about people breaking into the trailer either,” she said. “It was very scary out there.”

Leisure said she was unhoused for five years, most recently living in a trailer with her 30-year-old daughter, when an outreach worker asked if they would both be interested in moving to the Clinton Triangle. The next day, she and her daughter picked up what they could carry and made the life-changing transition. Now, she has her own tiny home just a few steps away from her daughter’s.

“The staff here are pretty wonderful,” she said. “There is a lot of stress people are experiencing here, and many different situations people come from, but how the staff responds is calm and just phenomenal.”

Leisure is already deep into the process of finding an apartment of her own.

She receives $1,049 a month in Social Security disability payments but became unhoused because it wasn’t enough to make ends meet. Now she is afraid to sign a lease because a housing voucher that will cover her full rent will end in a year.

“I need to be able to afford the rent when the voucher ends,” she said. “It is hard to find a studio for even $1,000 and then you still need money left over for food and other bills.”

Before Leisure moved into the Clinton Triangle, she already had medical care established and had secured identification and other necessary documents. She just needed a home she could afford.

“If people sincerely want to get off the street, this is the place to come,” she said. “It is a safe place to be and what more could you ask for? I have heat, a/c and light. It is small, but it is your own space with a lock.”
