2. Introduction
Some parents and PTAs want to
ban homework.
According to a 1999 study by King’s
College, London found that 9 year
olds who did math homework twice
a week did no better than those
who did the same task
occasionally.

3. Would Only Certain Grades
Have No Homework?
Christina Harris(National PTA)
thinks that kindergartners
shouldn’t have to do
homework.
The National PTA & NEA say
that students should have 10
minutes of homework a night
per week.

4. What’s Homework’s
Purpose?
Some parents think that
homework is a complete
waste of childhood.
Some parents even think that
homework is a disadvantage.

5. Is Homework Unfair?
Julie Henry(NEA) thinks that
school days should be
lengthened.
Other parents and PTAs also
think that school days should
be lengthened.

6. Is Homework Too
Overwhelming to Children?
Some parents think that homework
is mindless busy work.
According to Etta Kravolec (co-
author of The End of Homework),
found that high school blamed
falling behind in homework as a
major de-motivator.
Dr.Harris Cooper of University of
Missouri states that overloading
children in early years can ruin
motivation.
