I agree with Hive account@tecnosgirl, homework serves only to educate children to serve the economy, in my view children should be learning life skills for independent living, most when adults are ignorant of the skills needed for interaction with others. It should be a requirement for every child to travel the world (the government should fund this..ha!ha!.:) to broaden their perspective of life in general. I say this as a lecturer who use to teach in a London, UK college. Peace.
