Should homework just be done away with altogether?

Pupils at a comprehensive school are considering themselves the luckiest 12-year-olds in Britain after all homework was scrapped for them. The head called homework a 'dinosaur' and insists the move will encourage students to 'love learning for its own sake'. Dr Patrick Hazlewood told the Daily Telegraph he thinks pupils should 'manage their own learning'. 'Homework, like the national curriculum, is a dinosaur. It is repetitious, generates marking that is often just a load of ticks and causes conflict at home. The time has come to let sunshine flood through the classroom window and place the learner at the centre of all endeavour.'
