Many people now think that teachers give pupils too much homework. They say that it is unnecessary for
children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the
homework tasks they give to pupils. The result is that pupils have to repeat tasks which they have already done
at school.
Recently in Greece many parents complained about the difficult homework which teachers gave to their
children. The parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted to stop it. Spain
and Turkey are two countries which stopped homework recently. In Denmark, Germany and several countries
in Europe, teachers can’t set homework at weekends. In Holland, teachers allow pupils to stay at school to do
their homework. The children are free to help one another. Similar arrangements also exist in some British
schools.
Most people agree that homework is unfair. A pupil who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable
room is in a much better position than a pupil who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the
television on. Some parents help children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at all in their
children’s homework.
It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher should suggest suitable tasks
for parents to do with their children, parents are often better at teaching their own children!
