       Hello my name is Oliver Harris and this is David Christian and we would like to welcome you to our new debate.This house belives that home work should be banned .Homework is a task (often called an assignment) set by teachers for students to do outside normal lessons.
This is an irritating problem and our school educators will not sovle the problem,but our idea will

         Homework has little educational worth and adds nothing to the time spent in school. Some schools and some countries don't bother with homework at all, and their results do not seem to suffer from it. Studies show that homework adds nothing to standardised test scores for primary/ elementary pupils. As Alfie Kohn notes, no study has ever found a link between homework and better tests results in elementary school, and there is no reason to believe it is necessary in high school.Students in Japan and Denmark get little homework but score very well on tests.If anything, countries with more homework get worse results!

Homework takes a lot of time up. In America, they encourage the '10 minute rule', 10 minutes homework for every grade, meaning that high-school students are doing more than an hour of homework each night. 
Being young is not just about doing school work every night. It should also about being physically active, exploring the environment through play, doing creative things like music and art. It is also important for young people to build links with others, especially family and friends, but homework often takes the time available for all these things.
Homework puts students off learning. Studies have shown that many children find doing homework very stressful, boring and tiring. Often teachers underestimate how long a task will take, or set an unrealistic deadline. Sometimes because a teacher has not explained something new well in class, the homework task is impossible. So children end up paying with their free time for the failing of their teachers. They also get punishments if work is done badly or late. 
But Homework encourages students to work more independently, as they will have to at college and in their jobs. Everyone needs to devlop responsibility and skills in personal organization, working to deadlines, being able to research, etc.A gradual increase in homework responsibilities over the years allows these skills to develop . For instance, to read a novel or complete a research project, there is simply no time at school to do it properly. 
Having homework also allows students to really fix in their heads work they have done in school. Doing tasks linked to recent lessons helps students strengthen their understanding and become more confident in using new knowledge and skills. For younger children this could be practising reading or multiplication tables. For older ones it might be writing an experiment, revising for a test and reading in preparation for the next topic.
Education is a partnership between the child, the school and the home.Homework is one of the main ways in which the student’s family can be involved with their learning. Many parents value the chance to see what their child is studying and to support him in it.

    

        In my opinion we should ban the homework,because i,personally, hated to do homework.It never helped me when it was given by the teacher,i allways did some exercises alone without that anyone told me to do it and i enjoyed and loved it,so we should let the student choose when he wants to do exercise and when not.We have have to also ban the punishment,because the student will hate doing exercises after being punished and he will scamp it.
Thank you .
