RE: The reason why teachers should not give homework to their students
How can parents support or guide their children in school matters if there is no homework?

Parents have their own tasks at their jobs. School is totally for children and their responsibility. Whether they have homework or not. My parents never did anything more than visit school meetings.
I would like to follow my kids very closely. Homeworks consist of a good way for that.
Parents can chat informally about the subjects their children are learning at school. Or even go through their books and check with them what they already know or where do they need help... I agree that mandatory homework can be harmful for children. There are lighter and funnier ways to guide children's formal education.
Study is not about task or home work. We can ask anything to my children about his school what his study without homework. Let them learn all they want not slaved by task.
Here in the Philippines teachers are encouraged to not give homework during weekends (non-school day). So that children can enjoy their weekend school break.
