Well the work si required by teh natinal corriculm, althogh insted of homework they could ad an exstar hour on the the school day to make up for it. or posibly ad a week or 2 on to a term. or just do homework, i doubt many peple would wnayt an exstar hour of scholl over homework, athogh an exstar week or so of school a year doesnt soudn link to bader trade of?

The idea of homework is that students learn to study on their own as well as in a classroom environment, but it doesn't always work as wonderfully as planned. There is no reason why homework should have to be done at home, as long as pupils work on their own then it really should not matter. Therefore maybe it would be an idea to have an extra study period maybe on the end of school, where pupils sat in silence and did the work they had been set. This would mean they wouldn't be able to avoid doing it, and would give more free time after school to play :eusa_ange

I do not believe in homework
My dad does not believe in homework (He's a teacher ya know!)

Teachers set work for the sake of it, or because they can. I agree with Concentric, up to a point. I think it's stupid that the Govenment are going mad with us for not exercising when they're telling the schools to keep setting homework. In my homework planner, it says that I should only do 1 & 1/2 hrs per night. I get home at 4.00 - after I relax a bit (Till 5.30) I go upstairs to do my homework, which should take me up till 7.00 .

There are 3 problems with this:
1) It always takes me OVER 1hr & 1/2 to do my homework, up to 7.30/8.00 depending what I have to do.
2) I have a busy schedule, I do a lot of activities out of school aswell, that adds an extra hour on sometimes - taking me to 9.00 .
3) I need time to eat and wash - taking me to 9.30

9.30 is when I can relax after a busy night. Come on! I dont find THAT fair. I go to bed at 10.00 so I have 2 hrs to myself, everyday.

Its now getting so bad, I get up at 5.00am and do some homework then, and I'm absolutely shattered. Roll on Christmas...

thet ultenitiuve id guess would simply be add another hour on to the school day, i think the rediculs amount of hw is just becuse the govemnt are cramming to much in to the corriculam

Last year i had a science teacher who gave us a report to write EVERY NIGHT! And that was just for him. it wasnt in the curriculum. But I think we should have homework. not too much though.
when I was in year 6 we had blizzards near SATs and we had loads of homework to do i had like 15 pieces! but now i dont get much and the stuff i do get i do learn from. i think everyone learns from their homework.
i disagree with Concentric saying that ppl should do their homework by themselves. I ask for homework help off my mum and dad quite a lot (dispite being top set for everything) they don't give me the answer they just help me figure it out.

We do enough at school, and that takes up half the day already, so we should atleast have the rest of the day left to 'exercise', wash, have dinner, have fun and of course sleep, there's been many mornings where I've come in late to school as a result of too much homework the night before.

Well I think homework is to see if you understand it well. Some people are too shy to ask their teachers questions and with homework, the teacher can see if the student needs help or not and if he sees the homework is really bad, he'll try to go steps to steps to the student and watch if he needs help and if so, he'll/she'll help him. Of course, if the teacher don't check out the homework the next day, it isn't worth nothing. But I think it's a great contribution of the understanding of someone.

Yes, we should have homework.
As much as I hate it, it really does help. What if we never had homework? Would we really ever know how to do anything like in math?

The only sort of homework we should have are things like Coursework and reseraching, something easy and fun.

but if you havn't worked on your own before, i.e. homework, then you'll be duff at coursework and researching without help.

Homework is very useful as it helps you learn, but I do think some teachers need to cut down on the amount of homework they give. Lotsa homework lowers my motivation which lowers my grade :(

I usually have double the homework i'm meant to have coz my classes never do any work in school so we get it all to do at home. :(

I dont think we should because most people copy off others anyway

I think some homework is good, but not 4 pieces a night! :o

I think after school is a time to relax, and do what you want, not to do more school work, which you have been doing all day! :$

Dont Do Homework the teachers dont care Theyve already been to university, theyve got a degree, they earn enough money to live in a house and run a car and eat food every day. They dont care if you dont wanna learn. If you live in a flat for the rest of your life they dont loose anything. If you dont do your homework thats fine, thats your choice, no one can MAKE you. However if you do then you can cover more work quicker, get better grades, go to the university you want and therefore feel comfortable in, therefore youll do better in your studies because your comfortable in your environment, therefore youll get a better degree therefore youll get a better job with more money and a better car than your teacher will ever have.

But as I said, its up to you.
