Homework is a task (often called an assignment) set by teachers for pupils to do outside normal school time. Schools have been setting homework for many years however the debate regarding the usefulness of it has been debated for a long time.

Homework has been given to pupils because teachers believe it helps them retain what they learn at school and helps them master concept better. “Homework is super helpful in helping me with my learning and processing the material that my teacher taught in class,” said a year six pupil.
