Some people believe that school children should not be given homework by their teachers, while others argue that homework plays an important role in the education of children. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

A

school

of thought believes that teachers should not impose

homework

on

school

children.

However

, the other proportion of people tends to differ from

this

approach. In my opinion, I believe with the former view, as there are various other activities

besides

education, which should be given equal importance to pupils. On the one hand,

school

students should not be given

homework

by their teachers and I agree.

Firstly

, children must not be confined at home or

school

and they should be allowed some

time

to play outdoors, which reduces their stress.

For instance

, recent research by the UK government demonstrated that when students are allowed to play under the sun, they become stronger physically and mentally.

This

is out of the question if they are bombarded with assignments.

Further

, they get a chance to spend

time

with their family, which enhances family bonding.

Furthermore

, they become multitasking as they study at

school

for the

first

half of the day and practice cultural activities for the rest of the day.

On the other hand

,

homework

helps to recapitulate what they have learned at

school

.

For example

, a survey conducted by the World Education Council illustrated that the academic score of pupils increases if they are completely occupied with

homework

.

In addition

,

this

method will make them concentrate only on academics. To add on, the young children will not waste their leisure

time

and focus only on their education. In conclusion, even though few people debate that

homework

is vital for children's education. I strongly believe, there must be equal emphasis on sports, cultural activities and family

time

, which will be curbed if young students are assigned

homework

.
