Yes, schools should eliminate homework because it causes many negative health effects to students if the homework is too much for said student to handle. The negative effects most commonly found are sleep deprivation, headaches, exhaustion, loss of weight, burnout and so much more. Homework becomes a primary stress on a student and can cause them mental health issues as well as physical ones. Homework also prevents students from having a healthy social life as it can clog up a student's time.
No: No homework should not be eliminated from schools because it helps students learn the concepts of the subjects that they are learning. This causes them to retain information better and be ready for when tests come around. Homework also improves a students ability to get tasks done so when they have a real job, they know how to do their work efficiently. Homework also helps students be mindful of time management and how they should spend their time.
My opinion: I believe that schools should eliminate homework, not because of how easier it would be on me, (although I guess that IS a plus) but because the negatives outweigh the positives. That being said, I do believe that students need someway to retain information that they learn at school so that it is stuck in their head. This will help them be prepared for tests and other big challenges. Homework however is not the way to do it. The cost of a social life and personal health are far too much for homework to be an okay way for students to learn.
