Schools Without Homework (200 Words)
Imagine a school with no homework. Children would come home and play, rest and spend time with their family. They would have time to read, draw or help at home.
Some schools in the world have tried this idea. They found that students felt less stress and slept better.
But there are also problems. Homework helps us to practise what we learn. Without it, some children may forget lessons. Homework also builds the habit of studying on our own.
A good answer may lie in the middle. Less homework, but good homework, can help. It should be short, clear and fun. Projects and reading can replace long copy work.
Teachers and parents should work together. Children need rest, but they also need practice.
