Exercise:
There are a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or not.
Some people claim that children to 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 give at the
weekend when children have more time.
