The debate over whether schools should ban homework hinges on several key points. Proponents argue that homework reinforces what students learn in class, aids in test preparation, and fosters essential skills such as research, presentation, and tidiness.
Some children who do not do homework often fail tests whereas those who do succeed making students who don't complete homework less intelligent and less likely to succeed in their life.
Homework gives children time to revise what they've done in school and prepare for a test coming up.
Homework gives pupils a chance to learn because they get to research on additional facts which may have not been covered in their lessons and they can access extra material to learn with.
Some children are unable to complete their homework.
If children are unable to complete there homework they will face repercussions in spite of if the situation is within their control.
Children with various commitments often fall back in their education as the homework which they were unable to complete proved fundamental which often leads to poor test results.
An excessive workload disrupts sleep.
If children are given homework it can disrupt their daily routine as, for example, if they have sporting commitments after school they have significantly less time to do the prep which can encourage them to produce work of low standards or cause them to loose sleep as they are trying to complete the homework they've missed due to reason outside their control.
Empirical studies have linked excessive homework with sleep disruption. This can cause a decline in physical health.
Homework can cause children stress
A heavy workload can cause a child to become stressed due to emotions such as frustration
Spanish law dictates that homework be banned due to the stress caused by it.
This helps because if they missed a lesson but they get homework, they get to catch up a bit so they don't fall back.
Homework increases presentation and tidiness for the children so when they are older, if they do a work review they would most likely succeed in what they want to be.
Homework enhances the child's ability and capacity to excel.
Some children feel uncomfortable doing school work in class because of the environment so homework gives those children a chance to work in a comfortable and familiar environment and to do school work comfortably.
