You're watching Newsround with me, Ricky. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
These students will be deciding whether they are four against home | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Find out why this woman is knitting needles. | :00:15. | :00:24. | |
And find out why this woman is knitting noodles. | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
First - it's probably the last thing you want to hear this morning! | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Homework, but we want to know what you thnk of it. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Should you have more, less or none at all? | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
It's something adults have been arguing about for years, | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
so we put two of them, with very different views | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
on the subject, to a panel of ten primary school students. | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
They will be listening to two different | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
arguments about homework and making a decision | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
about which side of the | :00:55. | :00:55. | |
The issue of homework has been debated for more | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
than 100 years, so let's hear what they've got to say. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Nancy is from one of the biggest teachers' unions | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
Traditional homework isn't necessarily helpful to you. | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
Sometimes, your parents can't get involved in it, because they're | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
Sometimes, they get too involved in it and so the teachers | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
don't know whether you did the homework or somebody | :01:17. | :01:17. | |
And sometimes, when they try and help you, | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
they can't and that help | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
On the other side of the argument is Chris, | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
from the campaign for real education. | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
If you like to learn things, it's a very good thing to do | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
homework, because what homework does is to support your learning. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
So whether you get home work from the school or not, many, | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
many parents will sit with their children and do work | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
with them, because they know it makes sense. | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
Let's do some homework and let's do some play. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
And then, they put our speakers to the test. | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
Do you think homework affected your learning? | :01:54. | :01:54. | |
I wish I had done better when I was at school. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
I wish I had done more homework, really. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
Homework at secondary school was a very good | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
At primary school, I don't think it made very much difference. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
To Nancy and Chris, did you agree with anything the other one said? | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Nancy wants you to have an enjoyable childhood and I would agree with | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
We disagree about how much time you should be working and how | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
We both talked about the importance of balance. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
What I disagree with his, I think children your age have to do | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
I think the balance is completely wrong. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
I really enjoy doing homework, especially on certain | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
subjects and I agreed with the things that Chris said. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
Today sort of confirmed what my opinion about | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
homework was, because Nancy said that home work has to be balanced | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
properly, but I don't think for me it is quite balanced. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Today, I changed my mind and I think homework is important, because | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
it will help you in tests and in your later life. | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
Some really interesting points raised today, but | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
now it is time for this panel to make their decision. | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
Of course, this is just a sample of opinions, but | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
today in this classroom, with eight for homework and two against it, | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
Now, last night, Barack Obama made an emotional final speech | :03:08. | :03:21. | |
Talking in Chicago, he thanked his wife Michelle, | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
as well as his family and staff, but asked the American people to put | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
aside their differences and work together in the future. | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
It has been the honour of my life to serve you. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
In fact, I will be right there with you as a | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
But for now, whether you are young or whether you are young at heart, I | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
do have one final ask of you as your president. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
The same thing I asked you when you took a chance on me eight | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Not in my ability to bring about change, but in yours. | :04:07. | :04:19. | |
Now if you've got oodles of noodles and you don't know what to do | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
That's what this lady in Singapore has done, | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
but she's not making a jumper, it's actually for an art exhibition. | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
Next up - what could you do in 11 hours? | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
How about pull off one of the greatest tricks of all time? | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
The clip starts with a golf club putting a ball, | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
and across ten pool tables by travelling over cues that have | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
A team from Bristol filmed this and put it online. | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
Come back in half an hour for more Newsround. | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
