Is homework in schools really beneficial to students? Or does it cause too much stress and time to be wasted? 

If there is going to be homework assigned in schools, I believe it should be limited. This is because students have multiple classes in school and they’re all different subjects. On top of this homework and school, each student has a personal life.

After a student goes home, teachers really don’t know what’s going on. There could be the oldest sibling who has to take care of their younger siblings, not being selfish and taking care of their needs before their own. This by itself can cause lots of stress depending on what they have to do to make sure their siblings are taken care of.

Adding homework on top of this can be too much.

On the other hand, it can be helpful because it can help the student practice what they could be struggling with and help them remember how to do it. It can also help them study for upcoming tests that the dates are coming up. Overall there is a lot of controversy if homework is helpful or too much. They both have their ups and downs and this can also depend on the students and teachers preferences.
