4. 17 Facts of Why Homework
Should Be Banned
Let’s start with the first Points
5. “ These seventeen reasons why
homework should be banned
aren’t enough to convince
school and universities to
stop assigning homework
after class:

6. Students are given way too much homework
It is an important part of why homework should be banned. Homework is an
essential element of being successful both in and out of the classroom, but too
much of it can destroy your progress. Students who invest too much time on
homework may find it challenging to meet other demands, such as staying
physically and socially engaged.
The national parent-teacher association and The national education association
have agreed on a “ten-minute rule” for how long students should spend on
homework. The guideline specifies that children should work on homework for
10 minutes per grade level per night.

7. School is a full-time job.
In Taiwan, most children’s school days begin at 8 a.m. or even
earlier and end around 5 p.m. or later. Every day, children spend
approximately 9 hours of their time on their schooling. When you
add in the extracurricular activities that kids are required to
participate in to complete and thrive in society, such as cram
school, studying musical instruments, and participating in sports,
children might easily spend more than 10 hours per day on school-
related activities.

8. Homework stresses students out.
This is the third fact of why homework should be banned. Homework
is a source of stress. According to a stanford university survey, 56
percent of students regard homework as a significant source of
stress. In contrast, only 1% of students believe homework is not a
substantial source of stress.
Furthermore, more than 80% of students exhibit stress-related
symptoms such as headaches, tiredness, sleep deprivation, weight
loss, and stomach issues. Homework is to blame for all of these
irritating stress and health difficulties.

9. Homework provides no real benefit.
This is the fourth fact of why homework should be banned.
Teachers assume that giving students extra homework would help
them improve and remember what they have learned faster. That
is not the case, however. The more homework students have, the
less motivated they are to learn. As a result, homework becomes
a devil, driving students into a corner of worry rather than a tool
for motivating them to learn more.

10. Too much homework means not quite enough time for yourself.
This is the fifth fact of why homework should be banned. Students who
invest too much time in homework do not reach their developmental needs
or develop other essential life skills. Students who have too much
homework are less likely to participate in extracurricular activities such
as athletics, musical instruments, and other activities.
Furthermore, if kids spend all of their time doing homework, they may be
unable to gain essential life skills such as independence, learning to cook,
time management, or even mingling with others.

11. No family time
This is the sixth fact of why homework should be banned. The most
significant difficulty for today’s parents is that they don’t spend
nearly enough time with their children. Kids begin working on their
homework and projects as soon as they get home, and they barely
have time to chat with their families because they’re too tired. Those
continuously working on homework miss out on family time, shared
evenings, weekend activities, and dinners. However, without
homework, there would be more time for family bonding, which would
bring families closer together.

12. Normal sleep cycle
This is the seventh of why homework should be banned. When
students are overburdened with homework and assignments, their
sleep cycles become irregular, disturbing their biological clocks
and decreasing the quality of their sleep. For example, they may
stay up until two a.m. to finish a single report. Then they pass out
when they arrive home the next night, only to wake up late the
next night to complete their homework. These cycles frequently
repeat in the lives of students.
12
13. Downtime at home
This is the eighth fact of why homework should be banned. 2
hours of homework after 8 hours in class is a punishment.
Going outside, spending time with friends, joining hobby clubs,
assisting parents, and yes, watching TV and playing video
games all help children feel like children. Their professors
should provide kids with more unstructured time.
13
14. Negative impact on tests
This is the ninth fact of why homework should be banned. Should
schools ban students from doing homework to improve their exam
grades? Yes, it is correct. Students risk failing to pass their
exams if they focus on homework assignments. Complicated,
time-consuming chores, as well as mobile gadgets, video games,
television, friends, domestic responsibilities, and so on, appear to
be distractions.

15. Threat to kid’s nerves
This is the tenth of why homework should be banned.
Why should homework in schools be prohibited for
the sake of mental health? Teachers are
unconcerned about the negative consequences of
after-school activities on a child’s brain and mental
health.

16. Should
Homework be
Banned Pros and
Cons?

We will list why homework should not be banned below to
show that this post attempts to assess things objectively. To
be clear, we do not insist on homework being avoided at any
cost. We try to figure out if youngsters would be better off
alone with little responsibilities or hectic routines.
17. Minimizing screen time
Without homework, a student can spend up to 8 hours
every day in front of the computer. The recommended
average duration is no more than 3 hours: it makes young
people lazy and damages their vision. The benefits of doing
homework include improved study and living habits.

18. Improving time management
Every professional needs to be able to manage
their time. It is hard to assign 24 hours per
day without it.
18
19. Developed sense of independence
The majority of children aspire to have more
independence. The youngster is allowed to work
independently while analyzing personal flaws and
threats.
19
20. Enhanced research skills
To accomplish their tasks, students must conduct
in-depth investigations. They will learn how to
choose sources and gather proof.
20
21. Learning to multitask
A student develops multitasking skills by having several things
to do in one right. A single task may necessitate research,
writing, and analysis abilities, as well as computer knowledge.

22. The downsides of homework are apparent to everyone: tiredness, frustration, loss of time to
pursue other interests, and often a decrease in interest in studying.” he said… “doing
homework is similar to taking medicine. It has no effect if you consume too little. It can kill
you if you consume too much, “ Cooper explained.
There are numerous articles on the subject because practically everyone despises homework.
Denise Pope, a senior lecturer at the Stanford graduate school of education and a co-author
of a study published in the journal of experimental education, commented, “our findings on
the impacts of homework challenge the traditional notion that homework is fundamentally
positive.” – Stanford university news.
