Selected claim, supporting its parent
Homework takes up a large amount of students' leisure time.
Pros
Cons
Pro claim 1, children below
Every child has the
right to rest, relax, play
, and to take part in cultural and creative activities. Homework may interfere with this right.
Pro claim 2, children below
Most students don't have school-life
balance
, which causes them stress. Banning homework would restore this balance.
Con claim 1, children below
Even if kids have to do a few hours of homework, they still often have enough time to spend time with family and do after-school activities.
Con claim 2, children below
Students do not just get their leisure after school. In fact, school is the
main place where students can spend time
with their close friends during the week.
