Imagine a world where students come home from school and take the time to unwind and relax. It has been proven that almost three quarters of Canadian parents think that homework is a household stress. So why is homework still being assigned at schools, especially for younger grades? In recent years, the question of whether or not homework should be banned from elementary schools and limited to one hour per weekday in high school has been widely discussed. According to a Stanford Researcher, too much homework can negatively children. It takes their lives away from school, where family, friends, and social activities matter (Parker). The opponents of this educational approach argue that if students are not given homework to do, they will not become successful in the future. However, banning homework from elementary school and limiting it to one hour per weekday in high school is beneficial in terms of health, academics, and real world experiences.…
Everyone has a different point of view on the homework. The majority of people say homework should be banned but they never really tell why it’s mostly just because they don’t like it or it’s boring. I’m here to explain that homework is a good thing.…
It is necessary for a person to want to get rid of a force controlling them. Also, it is commonly known that with growing up, homework should be expected in order to receive a full education. This meaning, every child for twelve years is supposed to make school a priority, and then get an occupation once they are an adult. While I accept this, every student should have the right to pursue other aptitudes which they will use late in life as a career. That being said, homework has caused a great problem in my day to day life.…

Since Roberto Nevilis introduced it to the world as a punishment in 1905, there have been many arguments to whether or not homework should be required. What initially started as punishment for kids who messed around in class has become a mandatory task that all students are required to do daily. I’m here to end that, I intend to show you that students should not be required to complete homework for a grade. Homework consumes too much time and leaves no space for extracurricular activities and causes health problems. On top of that, many students don’t even have the resources required to complete the homework. Despite these things, homework is still a graded assignment that if failed to complete, can drastically bring down a student's grade.…
Do you think kids should have homework? I don’t know because sometimes it takes hours to do. Right now I usually have homework in math science and English everyday. I don’t think we should have homework because it’s too much work to start and it gets in the way of after school activities and most importantly can cause some health problems.…
Once again in the article “Back to School: Why Homework Is Bad for Kids” by John Buell. John informs that “Harris Cooper, a close student of the subject, reports that "The conclusions of past reviewers of homework research show extraordinary variability... Even in regard to specific areas of application such as within different subject areas, grades or student ability levels, the reviews often directly contradict one another."” This is also is important because the various studies have never proven that the increase in homework mean nothing but more work for the students.…
But does homework have any sort of impact, negative or positive for students ages four through eight? “For elementary students, no amount of homework -large or small- affects achievement (Cooper 88). This means that children are often given homework assignments that have no value at all. On average my son receives 6-8 different types of homework sheets. I’ve mentioned before, homework makes my son uncomfortable. Looking at the homework closely I concluded that four of the sheets had minimum correlation to what the study plan was in school. No wonder my 1st grade child is confused and nervous when it comes to homework hour. It is obvious to me that children at a younger age are not capable of completing homework because they simply don’t understand. Keep in mind that not all homes are created equal and not all parents have the luxury to help their child in detail when they get stuck with their home assignments, obviously all children come from different backgrounds and it would only be fair if homework was looked at a little closer in a equally matter for all young…
Billions of homework assignments are handed out each day. It’s become a part of our everyday lives. But, is it really all that great? A lot of people are debating on whether or not kids and teens ages 5-18 should be given homework. Students should not be given homework because kids need time to relax their minds after having 7 hours of school, too much homework can encourage cheating, and finally they could be practicing bad habits if they are doing it wrong.…
I am a student at Rancho Milpitas Middle School. I have noticed that there is a lot of homework given to kids these days in America and around the world. Since I’m a student, I would like to remind the adults that not only do we don’t like homework, we all agree that homework makes our lives stressful, since almost every student has to worry about projects, assignments, and tests that we have to Ace or our parents will start to get angry. I also have 2 more reasons why homework should be stopped.…
Also, based on the article, “No More Homework?,” in paragraph 3, the author states that parents have been pushing back against homework. They believe that their children need more time for family and other activities. Sometimes my parents do not appreciate that fact that I have a lot of homework because it means I have less time for my family and activities, such as going to parties and going out. Finally, homework often has a bad effect on students. According to the article “No More Homework?,” in paragraph 8, the author says, “The disadvantages of homework are clear to everyone such as exhaustion, frustration, loss of time to pursue other interests, and often a decrease of interest in learning."…

Kid can be anti-social or un-active that way.Student should have no homework at all. Parents do the homework anyways and Kid already have enough work to do at school.…

Shouldn’t the district or teachers assign students less homework?
