Homework! A burden
13 Answers
Do you think children get too much homework!
apart from them it is a burden on parents {and grandparents} My granddaughter is in school form 9am to 3.30. and then comes home to do hours of homework! Granted they need to do revising but some of the work takes hours! They are all expected to have computers cameras etc! Reading is very important but they don't have time to read a book! Should homework be compulsory!

At the end of the lesson, our teachers would invariably announce that the last five questions on the page were homework. During class lessons, I started by answering the last 5 questions first; by the end of the lesson I had completed my homework.

If nothing else homework shows a commitment to work, an ability to self disipline, time management etc etc etc.
Sometimes it's not about what they learn but how they view learning.
Perhaps if you would prefer less homework then the school hours should be extended for an hour and a half then?! It would probably help working parents though lol
The attention span of the average student is about 10 seconds nowadays and they can't fit everything in in the school day.
We have the options of 1. Homework 2. Longer school hours 3. no homework and less educated people leaving school.
Let's vote shall we and see what happens in say ten years time... another social experiment doomed to failier I think.
