Students spend around six hours each day at school. Many students spend extra time after school doing extracurricular activities, like band or dance. After practice, they are exhausted, but need to get started on homework. Is assigning homework doing more harm than good?

Extra practice is great!Homework sucks
Teachers give homework for a reason: it helps students practice skills that they learn in class. Then, the teacher can review the homework and return it to students. This extra practice allows students to be more prepared for tests.Research shows that homework does not improve knowledge. Students are in school for hours everyday. They should go home and relax, not continue to study. Staying inside buildings all day working is not good for students’ health.
