Host

Welcome back. Today's question: should schools ban homework? Kai, you say yes.

Kai

I do. Students already spend seven hours at school. Homework takes away time for sport, family and sleep, and some students have no quiet place to work at home.

Host

Zoe, you disagree.

Zoe

I do. Practice is how you remember things. If we only learn in class, we forget half of it by the next lesson. Maybe less homework, but not none.

Kai

Fair point. So what if it was optional?

Zoe

Then the students who need it most would skip it.

And that's where we'll stop. What do you think?
