Closed Minimise homework for Primary School children. They need family time play and early nights. Research shows this is more benficial than homework

Closed on

Young children need time to learn of course but they also need lots of learning through play and time spent with family and friends learning all about life. They should all get plenty of sleep for healthy growth and rest. If they are at school and then spending all their time between school and bed time doing homework they are missing out on so many important things and it is detrimental to their learning in the long run.
