Grade 10
Should Students Have Less Homework?
Many students argue that too much
homework causes stress and limits time for rest or
hobbies. While homework reinforces learning, excessive
amounts may do more harm than good. Studies suggest
that quality matters more than quantity. Meaningful
assignments help students think critically, but repetitive
tasks often lead to frustration. Some educators advocate
for reduced homework to promote well-being. Others
believe it builds discipline. Striking a balance is key.
Homework should support learning—not overwhelm
students. In today’s fast-paced world, a thoughtful
approach to homework is not just helpful; it is necessary.
