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

While

Firstly

Finally

is that it encourages independent learning and problem solving, as

are challenged to work through tasks alone and AT THEIR OWN PACE. In doing so, students must APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY LEARNT IN THE CLASSROOM.

For example
