Homework has been a long-standing tradition in schools, with the belief that it helps students

reinforce what they have learned in class. However, as the years go by, the amount of homework
assigned to students has increased significantly, leaving many students feeling overwhelmed and
stressed.

Many argue that the increasing amount of homework is beneficial for students as it helps them
develop time management skills and prepares them for the workload in college. However, with the
increasing pressure to excel in academics, students are often left with little to no time for
extracurricular activities, family time, and even much-needed rest.

Moreover, the quality of homework assignments is often questionable, with some students receiving
busy work that does not contribute to their learning. This can lead to frustration and a lack of
motivation to complete the tasks.

It is also important to consider the impact of excessive homework on students' mental health. With
the constant pressure to complete assignments and perform well, students may experience high levels
of stress and anxiety. This can have a negative effect on their overall well-being and academic
performance.

As a result, there has been a growing movement towards reducing the amount of homework assigned
to students. Many argue that schools should focus on quality over quantity, with more meaningful
and relevant assignments that truly enhance learning.
