Modified on Fri, 11 Oct at 4:24 PM

No. Schools need to consider the type of homework they give. The evidence hints that the probability is that homework as we traditionally do it in primary schools may have a low impact so it is worth checking. Homework needs to be:

  • Linked to the lesson;
  • Monitored by the teacher;
  • Short in duration;
  • and, Not include new learning as this disadvantages those who most need a professional teacher.
