I agree! I don't think there is much benefit to homework. I think there should be less. However, I say don't eliminate it completely. These kids will be used to not doing homework then all the sudden they have to. That'd be way too hard on them and be too sudden. My opinion is that we lessen the amount of homework in higher grades and gradually ease the younger ones into that amount.
