Stop homework!

Many primary schools in New zealand have homework. In my school we have homework each week. They are maths, writing, literacy and mini inquiry. There are some reasons why I am against homework.

Firstly homework can stop you from doing chores (you might think that's cool but) Once you finish all your homework you’re going to be really tired from chores like dishes, laundry, cleaning, vacuuming, cleaning your bed and all the others. Next homework can take away family time for example “Naia time to go uncles house” then I say “I’m doing my homework” mum says “ok stay here” “NOOO!. I want to go!”

Secondly, homework can stop you from doing sports like soccer, rugby, netball, and basketball. It stops you from learning skills and you know what they say, practice makes perfect and if you don’t practice you can’t keep up with your skills. Sports can make you fit, strong and healthy.

Lastly, in homework there is no point because homework is work that students already know such as 15+5=20 too easy. Find 10 verbs and 10 nouns and put them in a wordsearch too easy.  Literacy, read a book and write about one character in a description then draw them, too easy!

Well, that's all the reasons why children should not do homework so they can have time with family, learn skills in sports and homework is making kids learn nothing.
