Selected claim, opposing its parent

A lack of teacher supervision is not an advantage of homework, it is a disadvantage.

Pros

Cons

  • Pro claim 1

    If teachers are not present, some students might decide to copy their work from the internet or a friend.

  • Pro claim 2, children below

    Parents who can afford it often hire private tutors to help their children with homework. Many families cannot afford these.

  • Con claim 1

    If students only learn to work and learn when they are being supervised, they will not learn to be independent.
