Stop the setting of homework for children until the age of 14 in the UK.

I do believe that work beyond the classroom becomes relevant and important as children embark on their GCSE and A Levels. I also believe that there is an argument for determined practice but this needs to be driven from within and a desire to learn and succeed; not a product of relentless persuasion from a parent. Unfortunately, by the time children reach GCSE, homework has become an arduous task with little meaning or benefit. It is purely a task which has to be endured; there is no investment or passion.
