Government scraps homework rules

Government scraps homework rules for English schools. Michael Gove, the man in charge of Education, says head teachers can now decide how much homework to set or whether to set any at all.

This is taking place because some parents complained that too much homework is set for childeren, this means kids did not have enough time to play, do sports or be with their family.

Before, five- to seven-year-olds were expected to do an hour a week, gradually increasing to 2.5 hours each night for pupils aged between 14 and 16.

Headteachers will now decide how much homework their pupils will do.

What are your thoughts?
