Kids shouldn't have homework on weekends for the following reasons, kids that are overworked lack sleep which can damage them in later life and kids that work too much and don't go outside can lack exercise which can lead to obesity.
In 2010 a survey was taken and it showed that About 45% of adolescents ages 11 to 17 get less than eight hours of sleep per day. Another survey was taken on how many parents do their childrens homework to make it easier for them to cope Forty-three percent of parents queried in a survey admitting to doing their childrens homework at least once to ease the strain. Almost half the dads, 47%, owned up to doing the homework, while 39% of mothers did so.
In 1995 the highest levels of obesity for boys occurred among the 15–17 year old age group (6.1%), therefore the obesity which is high in the older age groups for boys could be to do with how much time they spend inside studying and how much time is available to go outside and exercise.
In conclusion due to the information in the surveys kids should not have homework on the weekend to prevent these problems in later life.
