If the is not given, put a question mark (?). Many people think that teachers give pupils too much homework. They say that it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they are argue that most teachers don’t properly plan the homework tasks they give to pupils. The result is that pupils repeat tasks which they have already done at school Recently in Greece, many parents complained about the difficult homework which teachers gave to their children. The parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted to stop it. Spain and Turkey are two countries which stopped homework recently. In Denmark, West Germany and several other countries in Europe, teachers can’t set homework at weekends. In Holland, teachers allow pupils to stay at school to do their homework. The children are free to help one another. Similar arrangements also exist some British schools. Most people agree that homework is unfair. A pupil who can do his homework in a quiet an comfortable room is in a much better position than a pupil who does in a small, noisy room with TV on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at all in their children’s homework..
