Homework Is Necessary.
Homework is an important part of education system because it helps students to remember what they have learned and learn more.

Homework is an essential attempt to direct information to the hippocampus. Studying will also help to raise grades because the act of studying reinforces the knowledge needed to succesfully pass tests. For all you who insult me, I am backed by scientific studies.

Good morning\afternoon teachers, students and other visiting members. I am here today because I strongly disagree that homework is unnecessary. However it should be limited. Recently there has been a debate in the
media about the level of homework given to students by schools.
Homework helps teachers evaluate how much students understand or even how much they've been listening. It is proven fact, that schools which give homework have better exams results than schools that don't.

Homework helps develop you're brain and you're self into a more responsible person, because if you hand your homework in on time, it will help you with future references, jobs and other future exams.

Homework should not be banned – however I think it should be limited to 45 minutes every day. But it should not be so they do it in a few minutes or rush it to get finished

Of course it should be there! I, as a student, have reason to believe that having homework is necessary for students to be able to grasp an individual understanding as well as a personalised revision of the day’s class.

Homework is apart of our studying so it helps us pass and also homework helps us make up small notes that we could remember.

Homework is deffinately necassary not only because it is a perfect opportunity for teachers to check on how much students know, it is also perfect practice for students when they dont understand something.

Yes, Home Work is necessary since it helps you review what you learn in school today, and it also makes you a better student

Yes.

However, an overwhelming amount of homework can induce boredom and stress. I support homework but not large amounts of it.

Yes, Homework is necessary. 'Cause reviewing is very important. But, many kids don't review their materials. So, enough amount of homework can make them to review their classes. However, homework should be creative and have fun. Many of homework is just filling of dull textbook. That can cause trouble between the child and his or her parents. And it lowers child's interest in the subject, too.

Homework is for childrens own good.when u get older u would probably get forms tht u have to fill in its just like homework if u start doing homework now then it would help a lot wen u grow up u won't get stressed out on filling in forms and homework helps u remember all the stuff u did at school and if u think homework is bad for ur brain then wat about computer games and video games etc u just get to much addicted to games and parties etc and forget all the things u learnt at school and if u think homework is just a waste of time its just the same thing u learn at school then ur wrong cuz even if the homework is same as the work in school u'd still learn a lot more and u could even be the best out of ur class if u keep doing ur homework and if u always forget to do ur homework or leave it at home etc tht means u r a very unorganized person and doing homework will also help u be organized wen ur older.Doing homework just shows u how much u learnt at school and why should it be hard if u already learnt it at school if u think it is too hard tht means u don't learn at school u just go to play or chat to ur friends or u just like to be naughty at school so homework is just a way tht teachers like to see who has been working hard at school and learning,not just chatting etc if u are annoyed of homework now then u won't get a good job wen u get older and homework also is something u can do wen ur bored or have nothing to do and if u learn a lot then u would be able to help ur children with their homework wen they grow up or otherwise ur childrens could even not get a good job so if anyone thinks home is a waste of time than u r just TOO LAZY TO DO HOMEWORK life isnt just for having fun god never told us life would be easy

Home work is basic practice session at home.
It makes the child confidant .
No need to mug up more for the tests if we do sufficient home work to sharpen our minds by the guidelines given by our teachers.
It helps us to remember what we learnt in school

Just because you hate homework does not mean it is unneccessary.
Homework is like practice for students, it refreshes their memory and helps them memorize the info.

We need homework. It's nessessary for practice and preparation of what you've done in school. Also, there's only 6 hours of school, not including lunch and recess (I'm in elementary school here), so 5 hours to learn.

Homework is very useful....i realised that in secondary in school now as it really helps you refresh what u learnt at school so you won't forget what has been taught at school...especially in secondary school when u have 8-9subjects u need to keep refreshing yourself to cope

Homework helps us to refresh on what we have learnt in class. Sometimes, questions from tests do come from our homework, thus, if we are able to understand the contents of our homework, we should be able to do pretty well in our tests. Teachers do not give homework just because they have nothing better to do, they just want us to do better in our studies, that's all.

Do your children enjoy homework? I know that i love doing book work , math , and history. Homework is very nessecary for all schools and having homework teaches you how to be organized and gives you problem solving skills. Also,it lets children who don't work fast work at their own pace. So, in my defense homework is a very useful thing and i have given you many elaborate reasons why homework is nessecary so take my opinion into consideration and still givew homework to all your students or children.

Homework it totaly needed, all children need to revise what they have learnt for the day before they go to bed. Homework keeps the students in touch with the concepts that they have learned at school. They get to practice at home and learn on their own. It is homework that puts the child in charge of his learning and when given the responsibility most kids learn and retain better. The only reason students dislike homework is because of the boring and repetitive nature of it. Interesting activities and exercises should be added to the daily homework to generate some interest.

I don’t think doing homework is necessary because in will waste time. We spent 7.5 hours in school per day, we spent 5 out of 7 days per week , that is 37.5 hours, and we have 47 weeks , in total is 1762.5 hours at school per year. The time we spent in school is more than we spent with our family. What do you think is more important? Spent your precious time with your family , or waste your time on the homework.

Homework should be banned because it is a way of killing a child's freedom. A child needs to time to be a child, a teen also needs time to be a teen and do things such as pleasure themself or make love. Children are in school 7 hours a day 5 days a week. They are away from their family and obeying big brother state rules enough, there shouldn't be an excuse for them to have some kind of school intervention in their home life. For the benefit of the child/teen it is vitally important that school and home are kept seperate. Homework does not allow that and it kills free time.

No, homework is not necessary because we spend 6 hours and 5 days, learning and working.
We don't need anymore work.
We should get a little time off when we get home.

It is a true fact that homework takes some of our free time. It is especially frustrating when you joined some sort of co curricular activity and when you get home you still have work to do. By the time you're done with all things related to school (including a co curricular activity) it's already nearly 6 or 7 pm. Plus a good thing about doing all the work at school is that it helps you focus. Most people study right in their room, and when you see your bed you feel like dropping down. But doing work in school is different. If your class is orderly enough then you will be able to work with no problems/distractions.

No. Homework will create pressure in students, and if you're saying that homework affects grades, you're wrong. Pressure makes bad results, that creates a very contrasting result.

I believe it's time that adults finally listen
to the youth and take there word for it that
homework SUCKS. Therefore, teachers should not issue
studying, homework etc. Be done at HOME. School takes a
large portion of our lives as it is, and half of our
bloody day. So what I'm saying is that once school is
over for the day - that is IT! No homework or anything
to do with school until we go to school the next day.
Studying for tests should only be done at school, period.
Why do I think it should be this way? Because I believe
this will SIGNIFICANTLY end students from skipping school.
Homework = skipping school, no homework = ends skipping
school significantly (not completely because of bullying
etc. Etc).
Take the message from the Media themselves for example,
"ReFresh". They are telling employees to Relax more
during lunch our and STOP over working. Its the same
thing with education and you people who think its right have like 2 reasons for it, it helps organisation skills and it helps you revise and look how many good reasons we have, and the thing about us is we are taking in yjour good points but your not looking at out points coz you dont listen to kids

 it doesn't really mattr if it sucks or not. school takes a quarter of your day. thts bout it. you can go do whatever you like after that. Studying time may not be enough and plus your in a more quieter comfortable place to be able to study in. Your own personal space at home so you can complete your work in any which way you like as long as you get it done! THE REASON THEY SKIP is cause of the BULLYING or cause they are bored. not the homework.

Homework should be just that........HOMEwork! I used to homeschool my kids and we had time to do chores and have fun family time. Now that they're in public school they don't have time to clean their room much less play in the dirt, which I know is important! I also have to pry them away from cooing over their baby brother.....it should be the parent's decision, what takes place at home!!

 But when they get into secondary school studying will be more crucial because if they don't study then they will not pass their exams and homework is not really for the teachers to see how much you know it is also apart of studying.

Homework is only relevant for when you need to do revision but that isn't set by the teachers it is common sense, also you spend from 9 till half three working so when you go home you don't need more work because then you can't easily function your social life

I'm against it due to many reasons!
1) If our ancestors could survive without homework we could too
2) Homework wastes tree
3) We learn already to much at school
4) Causes stress and pain
5) Homework vs Classwork, Classwork is enough!
6) I go to an after school program and they never let me have enough time to finish my homework, projects same as well.
7) Some adults don't have homework, for example Athletes. Even though they have to practice sport, they chose to become athletes and it's fun for them
8) Homework makes more kids get grounded. I heard a story of an animal, the animal was forced to death because of homework! This is animal cruelty!
9) Kids could do suicide!
10) Kids won't have enough time to enjoy with their friends and relatives!
11) Kids return to school at 3:00 PM regularly, they have at least 1 and 30 min to do hw, including reading! They'd be done at 5:00 to be exact. They'd only have 4 hrs to enjoy! They have to go to sleep at 9-10:00 NO FAIR! Adults go to work after kids go to school or before (several). Adults could sleep whenever they want because nobody bosses them at home. Some do overtime... Then they could what they want to do!!! Some adults don't want to even work and they don't have too!!!!! Some adults live with their parents still... Adults are not forced to work, but KIDS ARE FORCED TO WORK!!! NO FAIR, NO FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully they could just keep classwork, but no homework. PLZ, IM ONLY A KID!!!
