The Great Debate - The Not So Great Results!

Well, I'm sure we'll all be shocked to learn that, following our first debate, in which ideas were expressed vigorously but politely, the class voted by 21-0 in favour of banning homework. That was the easy bit; the hard bit will be convincing Mr Hugo to agree as well!

Although there were lots of reasons given in favour of banning homework (lack of time to play, repetitiveness, difficulty), the main reason for keeping it seemed to be that it makes you smarter. Perhaps we should perform an experiment; half the class do no homework and half do for 6 months and we'll see if there's any difference at the end of the year. Any volunteers?
