No homework during weekends policy

Yes I think this memo should be implemented because there things more important than assignments (especially for kids). They need time for play, for family, for other activities not just doing homework. I don't want my kids to have a miserable life doing studies all the time.... Life is too short. Make the best out of it. Assignments on weekdays and attending classes are necessary for the kids and their future...but let the weekends be for fun activities only.

Ever heard of the saying 'all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy?' A growing up child needs some play time if they are to come better individuals. Without play time they may score in examinations, but fail to shine in other areas. Playing with friends gives rise to creativity, exposes the child to other experiences, enhances social skills, understanding the value of team work, and develops leadership skills. I never gave lots of homework or assignments to my students. Yet they scored as well as other students who were given extra work. That was years ago Now the government is not encouraging teachers to give lots of homework to the students. Study smart, and have more time for other activities.

I don't know about where you are, but here the kids have so much homework they don't have much time for anything else. I think weekends off is good for them, just like weekends (or other days) off are good for anyone else. No one should have to be stressed about working every day of their lives.
