There are a lot of discussion as to whether children should be given homework or not.

Some people claim that children to enough work in school already. They also argue that children have
hobbies that they want to do after school, such as sports or music. A further point they make is that a
lot of homework is pointless and doesn’t help the child learn at all.

However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and teachers argue that it
is important to find out whether children can work on their own without the support from the teacher.
They say that the evening is a good time for children to sit down and think about what they have
learned in school.

Furthermore they claim that the school day is too short to get anything done that needs doing and it
make sense to send home tasks like independent reading or further writing tasks that don’t need
teacher’s support.
