Should Teachers assign homework
1st Main argument - Some kids lack the supplies at home to do homework
Computers
Phones
Internet
Dedicated study spaces
Even basic school supplies - like pencils, pens, paper etc.
Specialized Info
The vast majority of schools in the world hand out homework on a daily basis
Statistics have showed that homework has had a negative effect on students in a variety of ways
Homework was first used as a form of punishment for bad behaviour
Homework was invented in the early 1900s by an Italian teacher named Roberto Nevilis
History and Background
Homework has been created to further students understanding and education
Research shows that a significant amount of teachers hand out homework even when they believe that its not the most effective way to support their students learning.
Homework has it's roots in ancient educational practices
Thesis Statement
Teachers should not assign homework because it can build up stress in students, lead to mental health issues, and lead to sleep deprivation.
Also, too much homework can become a burden when you have extracurriculars, and you have to do homework on top of that, leaving now time for relaxation or family time.
Hook
Did you know that homework can create management challenges for kids??? Too much homework can make it difficult for students to balance their academic responsibilities with extracurriculars, relaxation time, and family time.
**"No kid should be getting three or four hours of homework a night. There's no breathing time, there's no family time, there are just extracurriculars and homework and then go to bed."

3rd main argument - When teachers assign homework it can create physical challenges for students at home
Stress
Anxiety
Sleep Deprivation
No time for other activities
Headaches
Exhaustion
No time for relaxation or family time
It can be challenging to complete homework at home.
They might not understand what they have been assigned to do
They cannot ask their teacher clarifying questions
When they don't understand how to do something, this can leave them feeling let down because they feel like they cannot succeed in this assignment
Lots of kids rush through their homework, to be able to do other things that are important to them, which means their work isn't as good of a quality as it could be
When students cannot understand their concepts, this can make it really hard to memorize and remember important information
