Background
Children and teenagers are suffering from anxiety, depression and also stress. This can lead to students facing a lot of pressure if they want to receive a good life. Homework is also not good for teachers as they will also have to spend time marking each homework and potentially grade them as well. This will help both children and teachers from exhaust.
