Why homework should be banned.

   Why Homework Should be banned!

I hate homework and I agree with many others who think it should be banned. There are reasons why banning homework would make sense. Some schools already have a no homework rule - Why! Well then -  here are 5 reasons why homework should be banned.

  

WE ALREADY WORK HARD AT SCHOOL: Students spend six - seven hours during the day doing school work. They work hard at school all day - The rest of the day should belong to them

It is pointless to have students completing homework when they have been in class most of the day doing the same thing.

 AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES: Homework can make things challenging for students with  busy schedules of afterschool activities . There is not much time after school for homework especially for kids who do sports after school or Art classes. These are important  to refresh body and mind

Mistakes might go unnoticed at home  - then we are not really learning anything..

With homework you can make mistakes or complete a task incorrectly without realising

But  Doing a project in class is easier when learning something new. You can ask classmates or your teacher for help. Also  when you're at home, you could be completing your homework  incorrectly, and if your parent is not able to help you then you will have to wait till the next day of school to get the help you’ll need.

I think homework should be done in school and in class with peers to help students understand the ideas better. I think reading just 30 minutes a day is enough to do at home.

STRESS: too much homework or things to achieve after a long school day causes stress in kids. It can be too much after being tired at the end of the day and feeling another lot of work to complete is overwhelming

OVERLOAD / BURNOUT

Too much to do after school can lead to burnout  - and not getting anything done or learning much . The brain needs a rest and benefits from a break from school work after school

FAMILY TIME IS AS IMPORTANT AS HOMEWORK TIME FOR LEARNING. Homework is taking up all my spare time after school. But we NEED spare time because it refreshes our bodies and minds

Free time is also very important to help our minds be creative.
