Should homework be banned?
Loading Discussion
Selected claim, supporting its parent
Not all families can provide sufficient support for students at home.
Pros
Cons
Pro claim 1, children below
Students who perform better with homework often have
access
to support that not all families can afford.
Pro claim 2, children below
It may be hard for many students to find an appropriate
space
and sufficient time to complete their homework.
Pro claim 3
Many children come from immigrant families that do not speak the official language of the country they are in. These parents struggle to help their children with homework.
Con claim 1, children below
Homework allows students from underfunded schools to take their learning into their own hands.
Con claim 2
The solution to this problem would be to dedicate more resources to support these students, not to ban homework.
