French primary schools saw homework banned in 1956. Only recently, LeMonde.fr published an article about this old debate which is now gaining force again due to a strike called by certain Parent's Association. It seems that besides being tiresome and boring, homework is a source of inequalities for children who do not have neither the time nor the help to do them and creates problems and stress for both children an parents.
On the other side of the argument, we read just a few days ago on theguardian.co.uk that "Two hours' homework a night is linked to better school results," or so it shows a study published by the Department for Education.
