    Homework has long been a part of education, aimed at reinforcing learning beyond the classroom. But in today’s fast-paced and pressure-filled environment, many students feel overwhelmed by the amount of homework they receive.

    While some homework can support practice and responsibility, too much of it may lead to stress, lack of sleep, and reduced time for hobbies or family. For younger students especially, long assignments may not add real value to learning.

    As teachers, we need to ask: Are we assigning homework with purpose, or just out of habit? Quality matters more than quantity. Thoughtfully designed tasks that encourage creativity, reflection, or real-life application can be far more effective than repetitive worksheets.
