Students already spend a great deal of their lives doing school work. It is not fair that students must spend extra time at home on tasks that could be done during school hours. Firstly, students need a break from school work when they come home. They should be allowed to unwind by playing with friends, spending time with the family and just relaxing. Secondly, students should have the time to participate in other activities after school that are also educational. Playing sport, learning a musical instrument or joining a community group are just a few ways that students could be learning new skills… if they didn’t have to do homework! Thirdly, all families are different. Some students might need to help out after school and may genuinely not have time to do their homework. In conclusion, schools should not be sending homework. There are much better ways that students could be using this time after school, such as relaxing, learning new skills and helping their families.
