Should homework be banned in secondary schools in Taiwan?
（台灣中學生應該禁止做家庭作業的原因和證據）
No
Children benefit from playing.（兒童從遊戲中受益。）
With too much homework, a child doesn’t have enough time to play and that can impact their learning and social development. Low levels of play are associated with lower academic achievement levels, lower safety awareness, less character development, and lower overall health.（家庭作業過多，孩子沒有足夠的時間玩耍，這會影響他們的學習和社會發展。玩耍水平低會與較低的學業成就水平，較低的安全意識，較少的性格發展以及較低的整體健康狀況相關。）
It encourages a sedentary lifestyle.（它鼓勵久坐的生活方式。）
A sedentary lifestyle has numerous direct associations with premature death as children age into adults. Obesity levels are already at or near record highs in many communities. Homework may reinforce certain skills and encourage knowledge retention, but it may come at a high price.（久坐的生活方式與兒童成年後的過早死亡有許多直接聯繫。在許多社區，肥胖水平已經達到或接近創紀錄的高位。家庭作業可能會增強某些技能並鼓勵知識的保留，但代價可能很高。）
Not every home is a beneficial environment.（並非每個家庭都是一個有利的環境。）
Sometimes parents may wish to be involved and support their child, but there are barriers in place that prevent this from happening. The bottom line is this: no every home life is equal.（有時，父母可能希望參與其中並撫養他們的孩子，但是有一些障礙可以阻止這種情況的發生。底線是：沒有每個家庭生活都是平等的。）
School is already a full-time job for kids.（學校已經是孩子們的全職工作。）
An elementary school day might start at 9:00am and end at 3:20pm. That’s more than 6 hours of work that kids as young as 5 are putting into their education every day. （小學一天的開始時間可能是9:00 am，然後是3:20 pm。每天5歲的孩子每天都要花超過6個小時的工作時間。）
There is no evidence that homework creates improvements.（沒有證據表明家庭作業可以改善生活。）
Survey after survey has found that the only thing that homework does is create a negative attitude toward schooling and education in general. Homework is not associated with a higher level of academic achievement on a national scale.（一項又一項的調查發現，家庭作業唯一要做的就是在總體上對學校教育產生消極態度。在全國范圍內，家庭作業與更高水平的學術成就無關。）
It discourages creative endeavors.（阻礙創造性的努力。）
If a student is spending 1 hour each day on homework, that’s an hour they are not spending pursuing something that is important to them. （如果學生每天要花1個小時做功課，那麼這就是一個小時，他們沒有在花費對他們來說很重要的事情。）
Homework is difficult to enforce.（家庭作業很難執行。）
There is no level of motivation that a parent or teacher can create that inspires some students to get involved with homework. There is no denying the fact that homework requires a certain amount of effort. Sometimes a child just doesn’t want to put in that effort.（父母或老師所創造的動機不會激發某些學生參與家庭作業。不可否認的是，家庭作業需要一定的努力。有時，一個孩子只是不想付出這種努力。）
Extra time in school does not equate to better grades.（額外的上學時間並不等於更高的成績。）
Students in the US spend more than 100 hours of extra time in school already compared to high-performing countries around the world, but that has not closed the educational gap between those countries and the United States.（與世界上表現良好的國家相比，美國的學生已經在學校花費了100多個小時的額外時間，但這並沒有彌合這些國家與美國之間的教育差距。）
Accurate practice may not be possible.（可能不行正確練習。）
Homework is often about practice, but if the core concepts of that information are not understood or inaccurately understood, then the results are the opposite of what is intended. （家庭作業通常是關於實踐的，但是如果對該信息的核心概念不了解或理解不正確，那麼結果將與預期相反。）
It may encourage cheating on multiple levels.（它可能鼓勵多層次的作弊。）
For families with multiple children, they may decide to copy off one another to minimize the time investment.（對於有多個孩子的家庭，他們可能會決定互相抄襲，以最大程度地減少時間投資。）
It may encourage cheating on multiple levels.（作業通常給學生太多。）
the amount of time children spent playing outdoors has decreased by 40% over the past 30 years.For high school students, it is even worse at high performing schools in the US where 90% of graduates go onto college, the average amount of homework assigned per night was 3 hours per student.（在過去30年中，孩子們在戶外玩的時間減少了40％。對於高中生來說，在美國90％的畢業生上大學的高性能學校中，情況甚至更糟，每個學生每個夜晚分配的平均家庭作業量為3個小時。）
Homework is often geared toward benchmarks.（家庭作業通常是被當作基準的。）
Homework is often assigned to improve test scores. Although this can provide positive outcomes, including better study skills or habits, the fact is that when children are tired, they do not absorb much information. When children have more homework than recommended, test scores actually go down. Stress levels go up. Burnout on the curriculum occurs.（通常分配家庭作業以提高考試成績。儘管這可以帶來積極的結果，包括更好的學習技能或習慣，但事實是，當孩子疲倦時，他們不會吸收太多信息。當孩子做的功課比建議的多時，考試成績實際上就會下降。壓力水平上升。課程出現倦怠感。）
Yes
It encourages the discipline of practice.
（它鼓勵實踐紀律。）
Repeating the same problems over and over can be boring and difficult, but it also reinforces the practice of discipline. （一遍又一遍地重複同樣的問題可能很無聊而且很困難，但同時也加強了紀律性。）
It gets parents involved with a child’s life.
（它使父母參與孩子的生活。）
Many parents actually want homework sent so they can see what their children are being taught in the classroom.（實際上，許多父母希望發送家庭作業，以便他們可以看到他們的孩子在教室裡正在教什麼。）
It teaches time management skills.（它教授時間管理技能。）
Homework goes beyond completing a task. It forces children (and parents, to some extent) to develop time management skills（作業不僅僅是完成任務。它迫使兒童（和父母在一定程度上）發展時間管理技能。）
Homework creates a communication network.（作業會建立一個交流網絡。）
It allows parents to find out their child’s strengths and weaknesses. Together, an educational plan can be developed that encourages the best possible learning environment.
（它可以讓父母找出孩子的長處和短處。共同製作教育計劃，以鼓勵最佳的學習環境。）
It allows for a comfortable place to study.（它提供了一個舒適的學習場所。）
Classrooms have evolved over the years to be a warmer and welcoming environment, but there is nothing like the comfort that is felt at home or in a safe space.（多年來，教室已經發展成為一個溫暖宜人的環境，但沒有什麼比在家中或安全空間中所能感受到的舒適感更合適了。）
It provides more time to complete the learning process.（它提供了更多的時間來完成學習過程。）
By creating specific homework assignments which address these deficiencies, it becomes possible to counter the effects of the time shortages. That can benefit students greatly over time.（通過創建解決這些不足的特定作業，可以抵消時間緊迫的影響。隨著時間的推移，這可以使學生受益匪淺。）
It reduces screen time.（減少屏幕時間。）
On the average school night, a student in the US might get 3-4 hours of screen time in per day. When that student isn’t in school, that figure doubles to 7-8 hours of screen time. （在平均的上學之夜，美國的學生每天可能會有3-4個小時的放映時間。當那個學生不在學校時，這個數字會翻倍，達到7-8個小時的屏幕播放時間。）
It can be treated like any other extracurricular activity.（可以像其他任何課外活動一樣對待它。）
Students can easily have more than 40 hours per week, from clubs to sports, that fall outside of regular school hours. Homework can be treated as one of these activities, fitting into the schedule where there is extra time. As an added benefit, some homework can even be completed on the way to or from some activities.（從俱樂部到體育運動，學生每週很容易有40多個小時不屬於正常的上課時間。家庭作業可以被視為這些活動之一，適合有額外時間的日程安排。另外一個好處是，一些作業甚至可以在往返某些活動的途中完成。）
