i personally think that children should not have homework over holidays because children do not have their mind focused on work instead they be continuously focused on the upcoming event

Definitely not! We spend the whole time traveling to different family locations and there is no time for homework of any kind! Let alone the quiet you need to concentrate on it.

Absolutely not! Kids already have to much as it is! Home is for family time! Should adults be forced to bring work home? Why do kids always have to be forced to sacrifice their precious family time to do more school work after school?

NO, HOLIDAYS ARE FOR FAMILY UNITY AND CELEBRATION. FAMILIES ARE THHE CORE OF MUCH EDUCTION TOO & R becoming secondary to school.Too much homework & 2 working parents plus lack of love & togetherness has caused divorce to be common & kids suffer it,

In older grades, I don't mind some homework and projects, but the presumption that kids will be home and parents are there the whole time to supervise is optimistic at best. Moderation, please.
