Should kids get less homework ? In my class, 23 out 30 Parents say yes, and 7 out of 30 say no. Parents say no, because homework is good for the intellectual mind. Kids say yes, because of the fact that less homework doesn’t stress them out as much as much as more homework. After considering both sides, I think students should get less homework.
One reason is that teachers won’t have to correct much homework. Instead, teachers can have fun with schoolboys and girls. Also, teachers can sopor (sleep) and get enough vim (energy) for the next day. Next, they have more time to do activities at home.
Another reason is that kids get a relaxed day at home. They can work on long term projects as well as watch TV

    Most people would agree that more homework would be a less than desirable, but if we started schools later students would pay more attention and if students payed more attention in class then maybe less homework would be assigned because they would have already covered it in class.
