There are a lot of discussions 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 makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading or
further writing tasks that don't need teacher's support.

On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but that it should only given at
the weekend when children have more time.
