Question

For most kids, homework is just part of their daily lives. but have you ever imagined that one day you won't need to do any homework at all? Such a thing just happened in a school in the UK.

Nottingham East Academay, a school in the UK has a non-homework policy(政策) recently. The school plans to make the students do more activities at school. So the students no longer need to do homework after class. When the school announced(宣布) it, students, teachers and parents were all surprised.

Barry Day, the president of the school, thinks that homework is unnecessary. He once told a local newspaper, " people give children homework to do simply because they think it should be given. In fact, homework doesn't help with education at all.

Letting kids leave their homework at school is becoming popular in the UK. Several other schools are welcoming the policy and doing something similar. Tiffin Boy's School has started giving students less homework. The time has dropped from two or three hours to just forty minutes a night. Nottingham East Academay is asking students to read for fun with their parents instead.
