Homework has been a part of the education system for decades.

It is seen as a way to reinforce

learning, develop study habits, and prepare students for academic success. However, there is a
growing movement against homework, led by author and parent advocate Sara Bennett. Bennett
argues that homework is not only unnecessary, but harmful to students and their families.

The Harmful Effects of Homework

Bennett believes that homework puts too much pressure on students, causing stress and anxiety. It
also takes away from valuable family time and extracurricular activities. Students are often
overwhelmed with homework and have little time for rest and relaxation, which is crucial for their
mental and emotional well-being.

Furthermore, Bennett argues that homework is not an effective way to reinforce learning. Many
students simply rush through their homework to get it done, without truly understanding the material.
This leads to a cycle of memorization and regurgitation, rather than true learning and critical thinking
skills.

The Importance of Family Time

Bennett also emphasizes the importance of family time and how homework interferes with it. With
the increasing demands of schoolwork, children have less time to spend with their families. This can
lead to strained relationships and a lack of connection between parents and children. Bennett believes
that family time is crucial for a child's development and should not be sacrificed for the sake of
homework.

misdirected and falsely attributed to homework and teachers. There is no mention, for example, of
