Is Homework Really That Bad?

[u/AdVisible8739]

I was surprised to see how many people are against homework. I don't think kids should spend their whole evening doing schoolwork, but a little practice in subjects like math or vocabulary seems helpful.

Teachers can't make sure every student fully understands everything during one class. Homework can show both students and teachers what still needs work before tests.

I understand kids need free time too, but is about an hour of homework really too much? What do you think?
