The text is for number 7-10
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 sports or music. A
further point they make is that a lot of homework is pointless and doesn’t help the child learn
at all.
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 that needs doing and it makes sense
to send home tasks like independent reading or further writing tasks that don’t need teacher’s
support.
On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but that it should only be
given at the weekend when children have more time.
