Homework shouldn't be necessary

Should homework be compulsory in schools?

At school we had to pick one of three choices we have been given to write about. They are, ‘Should pitbulls be banned in Nz? ‘Should homework be compulsory in school? and should Pt England be a single gender school. I chose should homework be compulsory in school.

I think that homework should not be compulsory in schools because it is our time at home and work is for school. The kids can decide if they want to try harder and do extra work. Another reason why homework is because some kids probably couldn't finish it because of other reasons, that the teachers might not believe and then they might get put on detention. I think that homework should be a choice to do it or not so the kids can focus on other things.

I think that kids from like a certain age that I don’t know shouldn't need to have homework.

But homework should still be encouraged at schools so the kids can keep what they have learnt in their brains. Homework or just reading books at home can increase reading age or maths age. Homework is a great way to keep your maths and reading stuff kept in your brain, but I still think that it doesn't NEED to be handed in.
