We have totally enough time for doing work in school and stuff. If there is too much homework, we
wouldnt have time to do other stuff that we like and all. And those stuff may not necessary be able
to be taught well in school. Like for example piano or sports or whatever. If lets say, person A is
very good at soccer. But he cannot practice it and stuff because of too much homework. The world
have lost a wonderful soccer player. Also, mayb person A was only good at soccer and nothing else.
He might become jobless!
Another reason why i think hw should be banned is that if there is still alot of hw after a long day
of school, people might not have lots of enthusiasm doing it. And since they dont have much
enthusiasm, they would just rush through it , not remembering anything or revising it. Their goal is
just to finish it. They would not care how well they did.and so |

Homework takes up alot of time that we could be used for excersize. We sit in school for around
seven hours and when we are forced to go home and sit and do more homework it takes away our chance
of excercize. And children need excersize as does everybody.
Plus when we're at school we learn things and we spend an hour each day per class so i dont think
there is any need to make us come home and do more
also ive noticed that sometimes our teachers give our assignments at the end of class and we go home
and realize we dont understand some things. Thats why i belive homework should be banned:) |

Homework takes up way too much time when we can just be riding our bikes or making USE of our spare
time |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I think that homework should be banned or at least less of it .
Children between the ages 6-17 are getting less family time,health,and
sleep! I'm only a kid and i have frequently had breakdowns. So please, parents and teachers think
of your children and students from a child's view point |

I'm for because homework sucks |
| |
|

|

|
|

It depends, MOST schools (don't reply to this saying you aren't one of them) give reasonable HW.
However overachieving schools like TJ give way too much but the students who go there know that
prior to their enrollment so I'm not sure... |

Excess homework is unfair and stressful to kids.
Think about it in comparison to work: Once your shift ends, you can go home and do pretty much
whatever you want. You could sit around, drawing poodles on your hand until you had to go to work
again.
With school, though, once you get out, you have to then spend quite a bit of time doing mindless,
unintuitive worksheets. And, when you have a project, it can consume several days.
Free time helps keep people sane, so let them have it by cutting back on homework! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Sure I'm just a kid so I don't want homework |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
If we are forced to do homework without getting paid, then that's called slavery. If kids are
forced doing homework then they should be paid. |
| |
|
| |
|

|

I think it stupid to have homework because having to much homework causes the children to become
stressed |

Kids get too many work-burdens put on them already - no need to add more homework to the already
too-heavy load, including those heavy back-packs they have to tote around! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I could easily post on both sides of this particular fence, but select this side, because if a
teacher formats the information into more intense clumps of information and uses a lot of
visual-aids, homework is then made redundant.
No need to create homework: Unnecessary burden for children, it is a matter of over-kill. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
We need only a bit of home work. Not 15 bits of homework a day |
| |
|

Adults are allways telling us we need exercise but we cannot because we have to much homework! |

They should ban homework everyday kids and teens stress of homework its harder because when you get
out of school you are just tired and want 2 rest they don't wanna deal with more stuff its kinda
like you don't have any relax timesu just don't wanna do anything they if they r gonna give homework
only give it 1 or 2 days a week :D |

Why do we need homework if we already understand the topic? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

All homework does is stress out kids. It's just the stuff teachers are too lazy to teach during
class. |
| |

Although i am for getting rid of homework, i think there needs to be some exceptions... I mean
everyone at some point in the High school career has a class where there is a disruptive little
street punk who thinks that he is the sh*t and that he'll kill anyone and everyone if he has to and
they cant do anything in class. With this in mind i have thought of, in my opinion, a brilliant
idea... Homework should only be given to those who have less then a C which would be in America, 69%
or lower. In this situation i believe that the teacher should talk to the student and asses what
they don't get in class. I also believe that many teachers use homework as a grade booster, which
defeats the purpose. I also think that teachers don't do this because they don't have the proper
motivation so all this ties back to teacher pay... |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Homework doesn't show what you know, but what you do not know, therefore should not be graded. I
don't mind it being given, but it shouldn't be graded. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Homework should be illegal. We go to school for most of our day and when we get home we have chores
and or a job to work. I get home from school then go to work till 8:00. I have 6 classes and I
always have homework. No that I'm talking but I might not get it or I need some help or I just
didn't have enough time to finish it but doing homework there's more of a chance that we can
misunderstand it and fail that assignment. There should be no homework. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes there should not be any more homework because kids can get tired while teachers are laughing. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I don't know about America but I think they passed a law now that kids should not have homework for
weekends or holidays. They shouldn't remove it, but they shouldn't give it to us in excess. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I think Homework is completely useless!!!!
WASTE OF TIME! |
| |

I think homework should be banned in Winnipeg because i have like seven classes a day and when i get
home i have seven homework or less i wont have time to finish it and it makes me really mad so i
think homework should be banned or they should give us less homework |
| |
|

I hated homework when i was in school and I hate it even more now when both my sons bring it home
EVERYDAY! My son even tried to do his homework at school during some down time and they made him
stop! What the hellen?! I am seeing too much pressure on these kids, which in turn adds pressure
on the parents who give a c r a p about their children's education. Pile homework on top of other
activities children deserve the chance to have and also on top of the parents work schedule and you
have some stress involved. I feel anxiety about it as I write this!, because I know what I have to
look forward to when I get home. |

I am a student in high school. I don't mind homework as long as it is in moderation. But no homework
altogether?
Homework plays an important role in a student's education. It fosters independent learning, it
develops one's study habits and it reinforces learning. How can students complain about not having
not enough recreation time? A student could create some time within 24 hours for their recreation or
relaxing.
Homework can also be proof that a student is up to date with their curriculum. It helps memorise
information and other work. If a student attends class and then goes home free of homework, what he
previously learned in class that day could have been forgotten, so homework will then bring that
knowledge keep it memorised.
Homework increases your chance of future success and also 'practice makes perfect.' |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
It is essential for your life because if you don't get education you can get poor and not live in a
home and you don't get a job.Children should be encouraged to have it! BTW how do you get
points?
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I don't like it but it does teach people to not get distracted... Wow look at that! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
As much as we hate homework, it is essential. It reinforces the lessons we learned in class, and
gives us extra practice. The only way you can get out of homework is to convince your parents to
homeschool you. It rocks!! (That is just my point of view, no one needs to debate it) |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Well this is how you know that the majority of this site is made up of pre teens and
kids....homework, although hard and undesireable i know i hate it too, helps you reinforce
everything./....without homework everything would be half assed knowledge that we cant
remember......how many times did you say you countries anthem before you remember it, erpitition is
the key to memory unfortunately.,.
When you play soccer and you practice and practice you get better until game day where you kill
it....practice is just another way of saying homework....casue practice makes perfect |
| |

If there's no homework there might be more time in school because there has to be more work in
school |

Homework is essential. |

|

We've had this debate many times before. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I think it must be important to education because it allows more and additional knowledge to be used
and acquired within a specific subject and/ or topic area. Also it could be a way for a routine to
be established. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I would agree they shouldn't get some types of homework. There are some assignments they may need
school resources to do properly, and/or some may demand an unrealistic time commitment. However,
there will always be something justified to send home as an assignment. Even a basic show-and-tell
in grade school is technically a homework assignment yet it's fun and everyone may learn and benefit
from it. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I'm a student, but, No, I don't believe in banning homework. Not because I believe that more
homework is good or that we have enough homework, but because I believe that the grading aspect of
A-F for homework should be banned and that schools should change homework assignments to be more
creative. Homework should require. I thinking i and innovating (something like
painting, writing a poem, or conducting an experiment) rather than just drilling and memorizing and
writing information on a piece of paper. This way students that need more than just classwork to
help them understand subject matter can use homework as a different avenue to enlighten them even
more on the subject. The work should be made more open-ended to have a student to be able to
learn and understand a topic using their own interest and style of learning, and
without the stress of forcibly memorizing something that would eventually be forgotten with time. I
do believe that many teachers/schools assign too much homework, but like i said homework just needs
to be "more interactive, less drilling." That way kids learn HOW to learn. Not
WHAT to learn. Homework should be banned for Elementary Schools and Middle schools should get
a limited amount of work.
These are some good articles about the topic at question. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Homework shouldn't be bane completely because it helps kids to get ready for any thing and you have
to have the brains to get a good job. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I saw this debate before, do your homework!
I think the great thing about home work is that it builds on what you have learned in the day,
and the sleeping mind has a chance to digest it all, and put it all into prospective. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
So it's a good thing to coddle you now so feel better, thereby leaving you completely unprepared for
additional schooling or job training later on? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Well if you ban homework then seven classes won't be enough. Homework is vital in allowing students
to develop independent study habits and build on work in class. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Homework shows the teachers who need help and who doesn't. I understand the never-ending homework,
but it shows how you working under high-pressure. I understand as I am still in school. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Nope. Keeps you off ForAndAgainst. |

The problem isn't that there's too much work. The problem is there's not enough.
The material taught to children in elementary, junior and high school could be taught in 10 years,
not 12. All kids are capable of learning it within that time instead of spinning their wheels for
two more years.
What's needed is more reading, more thinking, and more evaluation by kids. The school systems fail
in two ways: They are teaching kids what to think instead of _how_ to think, and they are stifling
curiosity by putting the carrots in front of the kids instead of making them want it by working.
We should be making kids want to learn instead of learning to want. More homework that requires
they think, instead of tedious time wasting, would do far more good.
Edit:
The purpose of "stick and carrot" is to make the donkey go forward to try and get it. If you put
the carrot in the donkey's mouth, is it going to move?
Except in real life, the kids are given the answers instead of the skills to find the answers for
themselves. |

Homework most certainly should be given - it gives children responsibility and allow them to work at
their own pace, spending, in some cases, as long as they want on a subject, and more on the subjects
they like or are good at. |

No homework helps people learn |
| |
|
| |
|

Excessive homework should be banned, but every now and then, a project or a report might fairly
require some independent, after school work. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

I think if you don't finish your work at school you need to finish it at home. I don't like it when
teachers just make u do it for no reason other than to occupy yourself |
| |

No a lot of people in a world our dumb enough taking homework away would lead to a population of

I think they should too. |
| |

Even though I'm a student I don't think homework should get banned because it gives the student time
to study outside of school and time to work on stuff they didn't finish in school. |

Homework is at all times necessary to perform better. This is the fundamental part of anybody’s
process of education. Homework is always beneficiary to students or to sportsman as well. Homework
is the most important stake of his or her forthcoming performance. It helps to enhance the skill of
people to their respective fields. Basically the child students need the homework very much as they
do not comprehend the inevitability of their studies. Homework makes them to recall the studies what
they learn from their school. The regular practice of homework assists to prepare a student for his
forthcoming exams which he faces everyday. Thus homework means to me the base of anyone’s future
footmarks in social life. It should not be banned in any sense and in any time. It is should be
always maintained to get the highest success. |

Homework not only teaches kids about the things they're currently learning in school, but also
teaches them responsibility, independence, and self-reliance. The children have to be responsible to
do homework or else they won't do well in school. If a child/teen can't pay attention in class, take
an assignment home and finish it, then there is no hope for them in the real world and in their
future.
Kids also need a way to sort of test themselves and see if they really understand what they
discussed in class that day, to see of they've really learned. If kids knew all they had to do to
pass a class was go to class and sit, they wouldn;t bother paying attention because they wouldn't be
graded. If all they had was a test, they wouldn't know until it was too late that they don't
understand the material. |

There is no need to ban homework. 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 tend to 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. Also, homework should not keep the child occupied for more than two hours at home. |
