Should homework be banned? A Lot of students would say yes and as more studies about the effectiveness of homework come out Adults are starting to agree. Duke Professor Harris Cooper found a correlation between completing homework and getting good grades. He recommended that in first grade students should have 10 minutes of homework and every year it goes up ten minutes. So that would mean that by the time a student is in twelfth grade they would have two hours of homework every night.
I have noticed that when I do homework I do get better grades and I think doing the homework does help because if you don't understand something on the homework. Then you can go to the teacher and get help. I think homework is essential for school. When you do good on homework you do good on tests.
Do you think homework should be banned?
Do you do better on tests when you do homework?

I am glad you got this posted Bradlee! With that said, it is a topic that has been done several times before and your summary is also brief overall. It was also posted four days late.
Any student hates homework. But I do think that giving homework sometimes isnt the key to success. I think learning and doing everything face to face helps a ton. Students are easily over worked in school and I dont think teachers realize that.
i agree that learning face to face does help but you still have to practice the things you learn.
I think that kids are tied down with a lot of different things. Because of all the things during the day I think that they should'nt have to have to do homework. I think that kids should be able to go home and relax and not constantly have to worry about school.
I don't think it should be completely banned. I think it's good practice for the ones who don't understand the topic well. It does timeo out of your day, and that is why I think it should be optional for the people who don't need it.
I personally do not believe that homework should be banned. Homework can be used as an extremely beneficial tool to aid learning. Although, I can see why some people would want to ban homework. I personally think that I do preform significantly better when I do the homework.
I don't think that homework should be banned because it helps a lot of students understand the content better. I can see why people might want it banned, but I personally don't want it banned. I also do better on tests when I do homework.
