why there should be no homework

http://www.mathprepa.com/top-5-good-reasons-why-kids-should-not-have-homework.html

- Kids are at school for eight hours a day and go home exhausted, therefor it makes it harder for kids at night to focus on their homework.
- Kids are studying for at least 5-6 hours out of the day while at school.
- Having time outside to exercise and play is important for a developing child. If a kid is stuck inside after a full day of learning at school, they should be able to have time to run around.
- Having a social life and family life is very important, there should be a balance.
