Homework, helpful or harmful?

Are you a fan of homework? Children need a well balanced life - spiritual, physical, intellectual and emotional. Many attend religious education, participate in sports and scouts, and more. By the time they arrive home, it is late. Many skimp on sleep to do homework.

Is homework more harmful than helpful? Should we encourage schools to lessen or eliminate most homework except for reading. Children can read before they fall asleep.

For an interesting, well-researched and thorough discussion of the issue, you may want to visit this page from the Center for Public Education.

We would love to hear your thoughts on the matter and any additional suggested content to review  in the comment section below.
