Kim Kardashian stirs controversy with claim she doesn't "believe in homework"

Los Angeles, Sep 6 (UNI) American media personality Kim Kardashian has reignited a perennial debate on the value of homework after unequivocally dismissing the practice during a Twitch livestream with streamer Kai Cenat.
Cenat got fired up talking about kids who dream of becoming streamers like him, urging them not to neglect school: "Before they get attached to a video game, they have to do their homework, damn it!"
At that point Kardashian interrupted him with a sharp stance: "I don't believe in homework," which shocked those present so much so that friend and fellow streamer RaKai burst out laughing, “Now that's a bombshell statement!”
Kardashian, who is raising four children, North (12), Saint (9), Chicago (7) and Psalm (6), elaborated that school hours already monopolise children's days. She argued, "Kids are in school eight hours a day. When they come home, they also have to play sports, live their lives, spend time with their families. I think homework should be left at school."
Her comments quickly reverbated across social media, igniting fierce debate. Supporters contended that excessive assignments rob children of vital family time and unstructured play, while detractors insisted homework is indispensable for reinforcing classroom knowledge and cultivating discipline, reports VANITY FAIR.
Kourtney Kardashian—mother of Mason, 15, Penelope, 13, Reign, 10 (had with ex Scott Disick) and baby Rocky Barker, 22 months, born of her marriage to Travis Barker—told the Khloe in Wonder Land podcast why she considers school "outdated": “I love going against the grain. I think living authentically means not conforming. If someone does the same thing every day, I tend to question everything. Even the school system. I really wonder: why do kids have to go to school? It's so outdated.” Khloé Kardashian, who has two children, True, 7, and Tatum, 3, whom she had with Tristan Thompson, added that she feels she is "a homeschooling person," preferring the DIY educational route.
