Draft Argument
Homework is a task schools give children to study and complete after school. We think homework should be banned here are some reasons why: Ø Some countries/schools don’t bother about homework and their results don’t suffer Ø Studies show homework does not help standardised test scores. Ø Similar studies show that homework actually produces worse results! Ø Homework ends up being done by students fighting fatigue so they have to stay up late, affecting their schoolwork. Ø Marking it takes time Ø Some teachers do not explain it properly so students end up suffering for their teachers mistakes Ø Many students find it stressful, tired and boring But also: Ø Marking it is hard on teachers Ø Some teachers set unrealistic goals Ø Most students would rather spend the time playing Ø Being young is not all about schoolwork Ø Some students do not have the resources for it  Ø  If they do not have time, they could be punished for badly done work In conclusion, we think homework should be banned. Most schoolchildren would agree, but it is up to you if you agree or not.
