Yes Research: John Hartie (University of Auckland) meta-analysis of thousands of educational studies around the world published in a book 'Visible Learning'. He finds that homework, particularly in primary school is next to useless for improving learning outcomes. Primary and Intermediate teachers that enforce homework are simply wasting children's and parents' time that could be better spent ... doing almost anything. Especially as watching TV is shown to have a minimal negative educational effect and is much more enjoyable. Seriously though - kids should be allowed to spend their afternoons in sport and hobbies which can have very positive effects, and schools that persue disproven educational methods which prevent this should be told off by the Ministry of Education.

Nobody likes homework anyway...
Just protest to Juila GIllard and tell her HOMEWORK IS THE WORST
Obviously homework should NOT be banned because you need to learn how to write a debate.
No, homework is an intergral part of the learning experience. It should not be banned, but here is a tip: Pay close attention in class and ask questions if there is something you do not understand. The more you learn in class, the easier your homework will often be and the more time you will have to relax.
None. No schools or states have banned homework. Some schools have reduced the amount given but it is still given out.
Homework should be banned because it prevents children from playing outside and socialising more in the afternoon. Kids work hard at school, they shouldn't have to come home and keep working, they should rest.
Some might, but the vast majority of teachers understand that homework is an important part of the learning process. They would not want it to be banned.
You spelled "shouldn't" wrong twice?

Homework should not be banned in school as it reinforces learning, allows students to practice and apply what they have learned, and fosters responsibility and time management skills. Additionally, homework serves as a crucial tool for teachers to assess student understanding and provide personalized feedback.
