Since we started our path in education, it is very common to be used to having homework to do after school. From kindergarten, teachers make or design a plan that includes work for their students to reinforce the activities they did in class.
The workload and little rest that many children have at home has always been a subject of debate and controversy, but the other side of the coin also exists and is present in various educational systems around the world; Sometimes, the lack of commitment of students and teachers or the crisis of school dropouts for different reasons, obscures the panorama of education.
Currently, many parents are in favor of not leaving so much homework to students, since they think that school time is enough for teaching, while the remaining time should be dedicated to being with the family.
A teacher revived the debate after uploading a TikTok where she expressed her disagreement with teachers leaving homework. She shared a proposal that was quickly turned around.

She decided that her students would not have homework after school and that after that, they could spend quality time with their loved ones, something very necessary for the education of children.
Thousands of users celebrated his decision and assured that after-school work takes up a lot of time for children, and that’s not counting the extracurricular activities that many do.
The teacher revealed that before becoming a mother, she was one of those who left mountains of homework but later she realized many things and reflected on her way of working.
“The house should be specifically for the family,” said the teacher, supported by many parents.
Educational authorities have not commented on the matter, but the teacher’s controversial proposal is an example that something is wrong in the educational system or in the families’ homes.
