The question of the necessity of homework at school during the weekends has aroused heated debates.Some people have no doubt that students should be enabled to spend their days off from school without having to do any homework assignments, whereas others believe that it is crucial for pupils to study during the weekends.

Personally, I hold to the opinion that pupils should be assigned homework for the weekends. Firstly, school students tend to be forgetful and have problems with memorising everything they learn at school. Homework assignments given for the days off can help students to keep up with the school curriculum and not fall behind with the schoolwork. Secondly, tests are often held on Monday, so in order to pass them with flying colours one should revise the materials at the weekends.
