Should homework be banned

        “Roberto Nevelis of Venice, Italy is often credited with having invented homework in 1905.”  He says, “Its purpose was to be used as a punishment for students who were lazy in class or for those who were disobedient or rude to their teacher.” Homework is given out every school day by at least one teacher. There is a scientific study saying that students should have 10 minutes of homework for every grade starting at grade level 10. That means if you are a senior you should have about 2 hour of homework given to you by the teachers. Most teachers give homework for another way of studying, and they give it if you have bad grades to learn about the topic more.

         Also the people that have after school activities, don't have much time to do their homework. The people in band and choir have to practice at their house and if they have homework then might not get it done. All of the football player have practice they have to go to and then they have to stay up late to do the homework, And with all of that they will not perform the best for football games, same with volleyball, soccer, track and cross country.

         I think that homework should be banned. I think that the students should just have assignments in school.  You can get information and help with your class by doing homework, but if you are doing well in your class, then you should not have to do the homework. That is why I think homework should be banned.



Do you think that homework should be banned?

 

Do you think homework is worth doing or do you get information out of it?

  • I beleive that homwork shouldn't be banned, I beleive in some situations homework is good to have. I think homework should be aloud but only for certain classes. Some students could need homework for extra credit if they are failing a class. Homework is a good way for a student to keep up on work and get things done outside of school.

    • I think that homework should be limited becasue yes it helps some people in school and for the other people it does nothing for them. With people in sport and have work it is hard for them to get all of there homework done and stay in those activitys.
