Homework do or don't

Ugh homework not again, what every kid says when they get home. Most kids including me think its unfair because we are in school for 7 hours of the day 5 days a week. But there are some good points in homework, homework helps you prepare for test and quizzes because most kids get the stuff there learning when there actually are listing to a lesson but when they get home they completely forget. But there are some down falls kids get so distracted by sports and technology and forget or just don't do there homework. I think that we could fix some of these problems by having a packet of hw and the kids get to do it on there own time in the week!
