Topic: Do you think students should do homework in primary school?

Qu Dongdong, 13

I think there is no need to do homework in primary school. Some research has shown that students' grades do not improve when they have a lot of homework. This means they are w1. their time. So why not let students do something they like? They can learn a musical instrument or read books. This at least allows them to master a s2. and broaden their horizons(视野).

Homework puts students under a lot of pressure. It is not good for kids' h3.. They may easily get sick. Besides, homework often takes up too much of their free time. They don't have enough time to spend with family and playing with friends. When I was growing up, I thought primary school might be the best time to have fun. Also, I think there must be better ways for kids to review their knowledge instead of homework. For example, they can learn t4. fun games.

He Yulu, 13

Homework can help us review after a day of learning. We can see whether we have mastered what we learned. To some extent(在某种程度上), it is hard for kids to make plans. But homework helps them develop good learning h5.. It will be useful for their future studies, or even their whole lives. Surely, homework does bring some pressure. But students will have to deal with it sooner or later. It encourages them to work harder.

Zhang Yuwenyao, 13

Students have l6. self-control(自控力). Without homework, they will freely play after school. I guess they will never open their books and review what they learned. So it is necessary for them to do homework, o7. they won't make any progress. Primary school studies are really important. They lay a foundation for future studies. If kids don't do well, it will have bad influence on their future.
