Is homework a waste of time?

Newsday

Available for over a year

Is giving homework to kids a waste of time? That's the conclusion of a book published in Germany, called "Home work - no thanks", by Armin Himmelratth. His research found that children would go into school the next day unmotivated and reluctant to learn after spending the evening doing homework. We got the opinions of some of the children of the journalists on Newsday - see what you think. (Photo: A girl is doing her homework near her brother in Sale, near Rabat, Morocco.)
