Many people think the teachers give students too much homework. That say it is unnecessary for
children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly have to
repeat tasks which they have already done at school.

children. Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet and

television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at their
