Is homework hurting our children?

Created by S.C. on March 17, 2014

Homework throughout time has always been thought of as "good", or healthy for our brains. Though new research has concluded that homework can be harmful to our children's personality and academic performance. Due to the overwhelming amounts of homework students get in the 21st century, performance in schools have dropped and students have become depressed. Now I'm not asking to eliminate homework, but to lower the average amount due to the problems excessive amounts of homework have caused. Please, put this petition into consideration.
