Poll: Should homework be banned at primary school level?
THE GREEN PARTY’S election manifesto was launched at the weekend, and one of its standout points was a proposal to phase out homework for primary school pupils.
Some academics have argued that there is no evidence to support the benefits of giving young children homework, and others have suggested that it may even be detrimental to their development.

But what do you think? Should primary schools stop giving pupils homework?
