Good Times!! A School In The UK Is Banning Homework Forever

A school in Britain is now taking the initiative to ban homework for students, permanently.

A headmistress in Britain has now become the first school in the country to ban homeworks for students.

Her reason? Catherine Hutley says this line of action is to give teachers time to plan more inspiring lessons.

She believes time used in preparing and marking homework could be spent on more productive activities.

She added that while homework is banned, after-school activities would still be encouraged with tasks on the school’s website and prizes to be won as motivation for students.

But there are mixed feelings among parents regarding this move.

One mother said:-

“My daughter has never been a big fan of homework so she’s really chuffed about the new policy.

But I’ve told her that it doesn’t meant she’s off the hook as I am going to make sure she’s still studying for a couple of nights each week.”
Another dad said:-

“As usual the kids who want to work hard and succeed will still do well. My worry is for the youngsters who need to study harder to get the results.

It could be that they are the ones who suffer.”
