The Proposition says that homework should be banned. The resolution should be debated because kids stress over homework, they feel like they don't have enough time. In 1901, the California legislature passed an act that effectively abolished homework for those who attended kindergarten through the eighth grade. But, in the 1950s, increasing pressure pushed the United States to stay ahead in the Cold War, homework started being given out again, and children were encouraged to keep up with their Russian counterparts. In a study done at the University of Michigan in 2007, research concluded that the amount of homework given is increasing over time. In a sample taken of students between the ages of 6 and 9, it was shown that students spend more than two hours a week on homework, as opposed to 44 minutes in 1981.
Affirmative: 1) Homework should be banned because, students family and enjoyment time is reduced. (This is so because they spend all their time after school on homework. Most people say they have from 3:30 P.M. - 9:00 P.M. Most kids have sports practice, and other commitments.) {Debate.org}
2) Homework should be banned because homework can encourage cheating. (Kids feel pressure to finish their mountain of homework, so they do anything to finish it and do something else){Debate.org}
3) Homework can keep students up late. (So they have hard time getting up in the morning, which leads to the being late, which leads to them being overwhelmed. Therefore their grades usually drop.){Debate.org}

2) Homework gives students the chance to re-learn what they have learned in a more comfortable environment. (You learn better when you are somewhere you are comfortable in.){Debate.org}
3) Homework gives parents a chance to see what their kids are doing in school. (Most parents are to busy to go to their kid's school and ask the teachers what they are doing. Homework is the perfect way to see with out going to their school.){Debate.org}
