Homework has always been a topic of debate among students, parents, and educators.

While some
argue that it is essential for reinforcing learning and developing good study habits, others believe that
it adds unnecessary stress and takes away from valuable family and leisure time. In recent years,
there has been a growing movement towards eliminating homework altogether. But what do experts
have to say about this controversial topic?

According to experts, the benefits of homework are highly dependent on the quality and quantity of
assignments given. In other words, not all homework is created equal. If homework is simply busy
work or repetitive tasks, it can be counterproductive and lead to frustration and disengagement from
learning. However, if homework is meaningful, challenging, and reinforces what has been taught in
class, it can be a valuable tool for academic success.

Additionally, experts suggest that the amount of homework given should be age-appropriate and
take into consideration the individual needs and abilities of students. Too much homework can lead
to burnout and negatively impact mental health, while too little can result in a lack of practice and
mastery of skills.

So, what is the expert opinion on no homework? While some argue that eliminating homework can
reduce stress and improve students' well-being, others believe that it can also hinder academic
progress and preparation for higher education. Ultimately, the best approach may be to find a balance
between the two.

kids should have reading homework and not written homework. 30 minutes of reading is good but 60
minutes of reading and writing is too much because then you're in a big rush to finish. For example,
an irritable child doesn't want to hear that it's homework time. What homework did you use to give
