Homework should not be banned

Homework should be banned or at least should only be classwork that isn't finished in class."Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school." ~ Albert EinsteinIf one of the smartest people in history says school isn't good system, then there is obviously a lot wrong with it, and one of those things is homework and I'll explain why. Not all students learn the same. Some students already master the subject when first learning about it and having extra homework is unnecessary and just wastes their time when the can be a learning new things, or just enjoying their free time, and for the students who are struggling with the material, teachers should personally help the kids who are struggling instead of spending 3-15 (depending on the grade level and how fast they grade it) hours a week grading homework and failing kids who do not understand the subject. Also from personal experience, I believe homework is bad because of the many nights that I stay up to work on it mainly because I procrastinate at everything I do including this debate., and I'm a good student, I usually always have straight A's (except for this semester I have two B's, the lowest my grades have ever been) and am in honors classes, because of homework I usually get little sleep causing me not be able to pay attention in my first two periods of the day, so from experience I do not belive homework has benifited me in any way. Don't get me wrong I love learning I just don't think homework and even school (but that's another subject) teach well or interests someone in the thing they are learning. Also, I usually always ace quizzes and tests and I never study, so saying that all students need to review subjects is also a myth. ""the average homework completer had higher unit test scores than 73 percent of non-completers (Cooper, Robinson, & Patall, 2006)"" I do not believe that homework is helping them learn better, this is because students who get good grades on tests are usually the type of students who care about their grades, so they do their homework fearing their grades will go down, these kids aren't caring about their education they are just caring about their score, which proves why homework is harmful.You go to schools 6 hours a day for a reason, and school shouldn't be treated as a job.6 hours is more than enough to learn everything you need to learn on that particular day, and if there isn't enough they should just remove classes that don't need to make time, and just make them temporary. Like history(my fav subject by the way) and PE should be optional only if the students really want to do that class. Free time should be removed as much as possible, students should spend all their time working and learning instead of doing useless crap and socializing and leave that for after school finishes instead of having to work a little in school than have free time a little, and then having to go home and spend the rest of your time working while you already spent 6 hours in school. Also, schools shouldn't be treated like jobs. You shouldn't be graded on how much work you get done, but how much you learn and how smart you are, so even if you somehow convince me that homework is a good thing there's is no way it should be graded for it.Let us look at statistics.Finland gives out far less homework than the United States and students there rank better than US students ("In the most recent assessment in 2009, they ranked sixth in math, second in science and third in reading. By comparison, U.S. students ranked 30th, 23rd and 17th, respectively, of the 65 tested countries/economies." (Stanford News)), and this is not just the case with just Finland. Japan, Denmark, and the Czech Republic, countries who give little homework, outperform those who give a lot, like Greece, Iran, and Thailand.This is why I believe that Homework should be gotten rid of.I'm sorry if I have grammar issues or if my statement sounds a little rushed I haven't had much time to spend on Debate.org because and school and stuff, but spring break is coming soon so I will be able to (hopefully) debate better next time.Good luck, and may the best debater win.
