Opening7.3
A lot of homework is now done by AI anyway, so it measures access to tools, not learning. For example, students already spend six or seven hours a day in class. Evenings should be for rest, sport and family. That is why I stand on this side.
Opening6.8
Homework teaches planning and working alone, which every job needs. For example, it shows parents what their kids are learning, which keeps families involved. That is why I stand on this side.

True, measures matters. But it does not decide this debate. Practice is how skills stick. Ten minutes of maths a day beats an hour once a week. Look at real examples and this is the pattern you see again and again.
Rebuttal8.0
You keep coming back to "examples", but that only tells half the story. A lot of homework is now done by AI anyway, so it measures access to tools, not learning. That matters because it is what happens in practice, not just in theory.
Closing6.4
Learn at school, live at home. Ban it. Remember, homework rewards kids with quiet rooms and helpful parents, which makes gaps between students bigger. For all these reasons, I stand by my side.
Closing7.4
Make homework shorter and better, but do not throw away practice. Remember, it shows parents what their kids are learning, which keeps families involved. For all these reasons, I stand by my side.
