5. There are a lot of discussions as to
whether children should be given
homework or not. Is it enough for
children having time to study at school or
do they need additional time at home for
study after school time?
Some people claim that children do
enough work in school already. They also
argue that children have hobbies that
they want to do after school, such as
sport or music. A further point they make
is that a lot of homework are pointless
and does not help the children learn at
all.

6. 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. It makes sense to
send home tasks like independent
reading or further writing task
which does not need the teacher’s
support.

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