Homework, it's a burden, yet it helps us prepare for exams and tests. I would dislike homework , but it's very helpful for studying. There's even a website: http://www.banhomework.org/ on banning homework. Would you ban homework if you could?

That's an interesting site. I think I'm going to spend some time there instead of doing my homework. As for banning homework, I think many students, including myself, still don't know how to manage their time efficiently so we need homework to help our learning. I would like to not go to school if I could but since I do, homework is pretty important

I think some amount of homework is needed to reinforce what is taught during class time. However, teachers that don't adequately cover the required curriculum sometimes dump more homework on the students to make up for their shortcomings. This is totally unacceptable and puts a great deal of stress on the kids. There must be a balance between classwork and homework and I feel that the majority of the required study elements must be accomplished during class time. A good teacher will be able to recognize this and use his/her time wisely to cover the necessary material for students to be successful in the course. However, when your kid gets stuck with a poorly organized teacher, it can be a tremendous burden on the entire family, when your child is bogged down with too much homework.

No i do not think so that i will not ban home work. As that is a part of academics. There should be less work that is too be given to the students.

I won't. Homeworks can be very annoying sometimes but they help us greatly in our studies. By doing homeworks, you train your brain to think harder and more critically. Every homework is a challenge.
