Research shows little learning benefit before secondary school, while tired children and stressed parents are a daily cost.

Children need free play, reading for pleasure and sleep. Homework competes with all three.

Ten minutes of reading or practice at home builds the routine children need later, and it shows parents what is being taught.

Without any homework, the gap between children with supportive homes and those without grows, because only the first group will study anyway.
