| If you find homework a drag you’re not alone… turns out many teachers, parents and even principals do too.
A rising number of schools are ditching homework, a move many households are welcoming with open arms.
Former principal and founder of RealSchools Adam Voigt felt homework not only failed to improve learning, but it hindered education - especially for younger students.
“It quite significantly distracts teachers who should be building fantastic classroom experiences,” Mr Voigt told Yahoo7.
“They spend a lot of time marking and chasing up homework and most of the time they find out how good the parents are at it”.
In 2014 a parliamentary inquiry found homework had very little academic benefits for primary school students.
