Ask yourself this “Do kids need homework?”.  According to the National Education Association “There are only so many hours in a day. If they are consumed by extra assignments and activities, the student has less time to spend on developing non-cognitive or “soft” skills—skills that can be aided by relaxing, socializing and—yes, even sleeping.  

There can be good sides to homework. Coming from the website Vocal media “Homework can improve academic performance”. Yes homework can be beneficial to students educationally but remember does adding more school work at the end of the day really help. After learning for six to eight hours don’t you think these kids have had enough for the day.
