Poor‚ innocent kids get given infuriating work to do in their free time during the week‚ the only time they have to chill out and relax. Children shouldn’t have to waste their time doing school work all over again at home‚ when they could be having a go at a worthwhile activity. As I was saying earlier‚ homework minimises a child’s free time‚ which means they haven’t got an opportunity to play any
