Homework is Important Christine Leprince from France In my opinion, homework is something very important for children. They need to review at home what they have learnt during the day at school. Consequently, I think they learn better with homework. But, it seems to me that children shouldn't have too much homework. They also need to play, to relax after school. Actually, it's crucial that children do something else at home; for instance, they can do some sports or other activities. The problem, today, is to look for a good balance between homework and no homework. I believe that the quantity of homework should depend on the child's age. For example, for a seven-year-old child, I think that half an hour a day is enough. Young children, actually, can't concentrate a long time. For older children, two hours a day is, for me, a maximum.
