Is homework harmful or helpful?

Homework for me really helps the student to know more about the topic. but we need to observe first the student if they were able to understand the topic, if yes there willl be no homework but if they didnt understood the topic that the time homework will be given. I think this is the main reason why there is a homework.

There's no easy to answer to that. Research has shown that it depends on how old the kids are, what kind of homework they're given and what's done with it afterwards.

I think it is good. It can help parents identify where their children can be in need of extra help or struggling. Teachers in big classrooms don't have the time to identify a child starting to fall behind so I think homework has a purpose.

I think suitable homework is OK. At least the students can spend a little time on study after school. And it is helpful for them to review the lessons by doing some homework.

I believe it is helpful but that sometimes too much is given!

Yes I do believe it really help coz once their at home ready and just think play and play they would forget right away what they tackle on that day, giving them homework would refresh their mind what they did today,or either giving them the chance to do advance study on the nxt lesson for tomorrow.
