HOMEWORKS boon or bane?

I do not see the use of home works or of writing class works because they not only take away lot of time from the students life but also put stress on them.When students do not complete their home works they are punished severely.This may also be the reason for the growing obesity cases among students because when there are a lot of home works students skip the little time they for exercising.This is also the main reason for the falling standards of morals among today's youth because these damn home works take away the little time teenagers get to spend with family.This is also the cause for students becoming slow learners because when students are given a lot of  writing work they do not find enough time to learn as their basics are not strong because of this they become slow learners.Some people defend this by saying the writing works improve the students writing skills and handwriting.But in this age of internet and computers there is no use of handwriting as what can be written can be typed.
                                                       
                                          

                                                                         Teachers defend writing saying that "WRITING ONCE IS EQUAL TO READING A HUNDRED TIMES" but instead of wasting time on writing students can spend their time learning.What teachers fail to understand is that the age has changed and writing is fast becoming a thing of past.this home works and so called assignments also take away the the time students spend reading book,newspapers,spending time with buddies etc.The question that still haunts us is ARE HOME WORKS NEEDED???????????????
