No Homework podcast Here is proof that homework is either good or bad. Political standpoint Former president Brack Obama was a strong believer of no homework, he started a petition called “Stop giving students homework.” His main claim was, are we advancing in education or are students drowning in homework? Obama said “Here in America, you write your own destiny. “You make your own future.” and “If students want to be successful, they must take responsibility for getting the most out of their education. And in all, there have been many political figures in support of no homework.

He did some research and tests and concluded that “Too much homework can actually increase stress, have negative effects on personal life and sports. Duke University social psychologist Harris Cooper, Ph.D., one of the nation's leading homework researcher says that homework in high school helps verses I middle school it just stresses the child. He says that when you are in high school you should have a maximum of 2 hours of homework. Although too much homework is bad for you you should still have about 15 minutes plus studying.
