Limiting the Amount of Homework
Your school is reviewing its homework policy and has asked for your recommendation whether there should be a limit on the amount of homework assigned by teachers. Some students feel that the amount of homework should be limited to allow more time for other extracurricular activities.? Some teachers, however, are opposed to limits on the amount of homework they can assign and believe that they are in the best position to decide how much homework is required for learning.
Do you feel that the amount of homework assigned by teachers should be limited? Write an essay supporting or opposing a policy to limit the amount of homework assigned to students.
As you write, remember your essay will be scored based on how well you:
