Miss Jamieson’s, P6/7 class had a debate over whether homework is vital for a child’s education or not. Half of the class were in the pros team which were the team trying to keep homework. The other half were in the cons team which were the team trying to get rid of homework.

We had 4 pieces of card that said yes, no, abstain and request to speak. We gathered around the biggest table in our class and had a debate. You held your request to speak card when you wanted to speak.

In the end 3 went for abstain they didn’t want to vote

10 went for yes we would like homework

11 went for no, homework is boring.

Although the cons may have won we still get homework.
