Loads of you have been getting in touch today | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
We've been asking if primary schools should be doing any at all. | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
One half times by one quarter equals one eighth. | :00:20. | :00:31. | |
Homework - it's given out in most of the primary | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
schools in the UK but, for more than 100 years, | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
experts have been trying to decide whether or not it's a good thing | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Some people think homework puts too much pressure on kids. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
They say research suggests homework in primary school isn't | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
And, because of this, some teachers and heads want it | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
But others say homework is an important part of you learning | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
how to work on your own and gives you the chance to practise what | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
you've learnt in the classroom - like times tables, reading, | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
At this school, the students are given written and number | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
Homework is a good thing because it might help children | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
who are struggling or just need a bit more information to help them, | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
and I think all children should be doing it. | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
I don't like homework because I feel, after | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
I think it's beneficial because you are re-capping | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
and you are revising what you've just done. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Sometimes, I get really stressed when I don't have it all done. | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
The government says head teachers can make their own decision | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
about whether or not to set homework. | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
So why does this school, like many others, think it's important? | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Basically, we give them homework because we want them to reaffirm | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
what they've learnt that week and enjoy what they are learning. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
And we also want them to be ready for when they go | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
They will be getting homework on a regular basis | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
I would like homework to be a bit more varied and I'd like there to be | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
If homework was taken away, I'd feel glad but also sad | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
because homework helps me know what I'm doing and makes | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
But I would be happy as well because I would have more time to spend with | :02:25. | :02:33. | |
my family. Over at Newsround online | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
today, you've been busy Amelie, who's eight, | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
thinks homework is good as it helps you to remember what you've | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
learnt in class. But nine-year-old Edward says, | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
sometimes, when you're doing your homework, | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
you can get very stressed. But Callum loves homework, | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
saying he likes learning and, if you use a laptop or read, | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
then you are practising Thanks for getting in touch with us, | :02:53. | :02:55. | |

scrapped maths and English homework I fit my entire body into a piece of | :03:05. | :03:22. | |

who might need help. This starts with ensuring that | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
children and teenagers get the help and support they need and deserve. | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
