There are parent groups in Australia that want to ban homework for the early years of a kids school career. If you want to teach your child to be irresponsible, not challenge their mind, or give them deadlines, then go for it. Just remember that your child will end up being a moron who will most likely have a dead end job and be begging Democratic types to raise the minimum wage laws so they can afford the basic necessities in life.
Homework is important from first grade on towards the end of an academic career. It teaches a child that they have responsibilities. It teaches them how to think, how to have their parents help, how to research problems that they don't know the answer to. If you ban that, then a child will only learn in the short amount of time that teachers have to teach.
So what happens if a child is being disruptive in the class? I know that's a bit of a stretch, but hear me out. If one child is being disruptive, then that child is literally robbing the other children of the education that they would get that day. Homework is an extension of the classroom materials. With teachers already stretched to the limits, banning homework will force the teacher to cram more material into a shorter timeframe. If you do that, you risk them learning nothing.
