8. Read Text 2. Text 2. Homework: is it good for you? Do You Like Homework? Did It Help You in School?

Is Homework a Waste of Time?

In the middle of the 1980s, a commission conducted a survey of American education and concluded that pupils were ‘at risk’: they were not getting a good education and not performing well in school. One easy way to improve was to increase the amount of homework.

But now, some educators think homework has gone too far. Even six-year-old pupils get homework. In some schools in California, primary school pupils do an average of two hours a week. Educators disagree on homework. There are two main issues they disagree on. The first issue is whether or not homework actually improves your studies. The second issue is whether or not homework is fair.
