Some people share a perspective that

children should not be given

homework

by their teachers, while others argue that

homework

plays an important role in the education of children. In my opinion, I strongly believe that a little bit of

homework

which would not take their entire

time

is fine as kids require

time

for playing and other activities along with studies. The essay below delves into both views,

first

explaining why some people feel

homework

should not be given

then

discussing why others feel the necessity for it. The essay

explains my point of view and ends, summarising all points in the conclusion.

time

for other activities as well. To illustrate, youngsters spend almost half of their day at

studying so the rest of the

time

should be for playing and exploring other interests like learning music, painting, basketball, football and so on. Studying all day does not enhance a child's intelligence level, participating in

On the contrary

this

is because
