American media personality Kim Kardashian has revealed that she’s not a fan of homework, explaining why she feels kids should focus on life outside school once classes end.
Kim Kardashian Reveals Why She’s Against Schools Giving Kids Homework
The reality star and mother of four shared her thoughts on Monday, September 1, during Kai Cenat’s ongoing “Mafiathon 3” livestream.
Kardashian, who recently sat for the California bar exam, said she believes children already spend enough time in school and should use their free hours for other activities.
“I don’t believe in homework. Seriously, seriously,” she said. “But I’m gonna tell you why. Because kids are in school for eight hours a day. When they come home, they need to also do sports, have a life, spend time with their family. I think the homework should be left for in school.”
Kim Kardashian clarified that she isn’t against students doing assignments altogether, but stressed that it should be a teacher-led process within school hours.
“If you go into school or you stay online and you’re doing your school eight hours a day, the last thing you wanna do is then get off of your school program and then do a book report.
“You should be doing that with your professor and with your teacher and eight hours a day is enough of schoolwork, in my opinion,” she said.
Speaking about her own children, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West, Kardashian said she tries to make learning enjoyable, especially for one of her kids who struggles with school.
Instead of pushing traditional methods, the mother of four encourages creative alternatives like Japanese lessons or fashion design, while still making sure they cover the basics.
“They need to know the basics, obviously, but I have one child who really hates school,” she explained. “So you have to get creative. So instead she takes Japanese class or fashion design and has to do more tallying up of different numbers in other ways. But she still goes to school. But it’s a fight. So if you find something that you really love to do and figure out how to make it fun, t’s just a challenge.”
