I do not completely agree with this news article but homework is what student refer to as a chore. Homework takes up a large part of our time after school. As if afternoon lessons and cca are not enough, we have the added burden of having extra homework to do. Added with the tests we have to study for, we hardly have time to rest. Homework is useful as we can self study and learn to be independent when we tackle questions asked. For example, when a math homeowrk is assigned, i try to answer the question myself but if i cannot get the answer, i will ask my friends. asking the teacher is the last resort. However, there is a certain limit as to how much homework should be given to students.
