Description

Hey, Gemma here!
I’ll be arguing for the motion that homework should be optional for students.
While homework can help reinforce lessons, it often causes unnecessary stress and takes away time from personal growth, creativity, and family.
I look forward to hearing my opponent’s view and learning from this debate.

Mental Health - Students already spend 6 to 8 hours in school every day. Adding extra work on top of that doesn’t strengthen learning — it causes stress, burnout, and takes away valuable family and rest time. In fact, research shows that excessive homework often hurts students’ motivation and mental health rather than helping them succeed. Can't wait to hear your rebuttle.
