- Up to one hour: I think the should because it helps them to work independently (although they have their parents). And they cant be distracted by other classmates. 8-14 years. 21 October
- Teacher decides: I had homework in primary school, just like everyone else in my cohort. Why can't this tradition continue and establish good habits for High School and any Tertiary Study these students may wish to pursue? 15-17 years. 19 October
- No: My mum works and is very busy at night cooking dinner and doing washing and would rather sit with me and talk about our day than do homework. She gets stressed! 8-14 years. 17 October
