Who invented homework and when? Those who found out about it were furious, do you know the name of that person?

Are you also one of those people who were troubled with studies during school days? Were you also troubled by the study methods and cursed the person who invented studies or homework? If you do not know already, then recently its information has been shared on social media. It has been told on this Instagram post that it was invented by Italian teacher Roberto Navolis. Most people give him credit for this, but all the experts are not unanimous on this. Still, many people have vented their anger on him on this post.

The concept of homework has come up in the field of education at different times and places. But in history, two special people are given more credit for this. The first and most frequently mentioned name is of the Italian teacher Roberto Nevilis who lived in the 20th century. Roberto Nevilis is believed to have been a school teacher in Venice and it is said that he had the idea of ​​assigning work to students outside of regular class hours.

In the post shared on the Instagram account Amazing Fact, the name of Nevils has been mentioned and his picture has also been shared. It is told that Nevils invented homework in 1905 and he started it as a punishment to his students.

The caption of the post read, “What do you think of homework? He is an inventor.” It was not surprising that the comments section was filled with people cursing him. A user from the Brothers Little Girl account wrote, “He must not have thought that this would become a punishment for the whole world.” Luigi Torrisi wrote, “He has a special place in hell.” While Aldrich Fernandes says, “Some children must be wishing they could get Doraemon’s time machine.”

But homework found its place in various education systems in various ways and at different times. Gradually it became a positive part of education in most systems. In America it was controversial from the very beginning and remains a matter of controversy even today.
