National No Housework Day – April 7, 2024

April 7 is a chance  to revel in National No Housework Day.  Put down the laundry and toss out the to-do list. For this one day, we can give ourselves a break and do what we want around the house. Maintaining a clean and liveable home can sometimes feel like a never-ending chore. As soon as you have finished the washing and the cleaning, it all needs doing again, and again, and again. Well, that’s why National No Housework Day is here, to allow yourself a break, meaning that  for one day at least, you don’t need to worry about the housework.

History of National No Housework Day

The history of housework and its perception as a largely female job dates back to the nineteenth century. As men began to specialize in paid work, housework became increasingly linked to women. The home was viewed as a pure, serene, and secure place, as opposed to the impure, unsympathetic, and uncertain world of work. Nowadays of course society tends to have a much more open mind to gender roles and the duty of upkeep in most households is seen as a shared responsibility. 

Innovation in household appliance technology has increased the efficiency with which work is carried out but also prompted higher standards of cleanliness. The self-contained electric or gas-powered appliances are a uniquely American innovation that began emerging a hundred years ago. During this time the washing machine, the refrigerator, the kettle, the iron, and the sewing machine were all invented as families sought ways of creating more free time in their lives. 

Housework has become so ingrained in our lives that Thomas and Ruth Roy felt it necessary to create a holiday where we don’t do any chores. They chose April 7 as National No Housework Day and encouraged people to “leave it all for tomorrow.”

National No Housework Day timeline

Thomas Roy started to create and patent his quirky holiday, one of which is National No Housework Day.

Thomas Roy, the creator of National No Housework Day, is born

More men began leaving the home for paid work. This often results in women remaining at home and being expected to do the housework.

Most workers and staff are dedicated to the upkeep of their own homes as they are the main sources of income and education.

A lot of cleaning

Toy-cleaning tip

Instead of cleaning your children’s toys one by one, check if they are dishwasher safe and tackle the whole chore at once.

Why we love National No Housework Day

It gives us a pause.

Life can get hectic and out of control. Sometimes putting the tools and appliances down and relaxing is the healthiest option. Some responsibilities can wait until tomorrow, including housework.

The freedom

Knowing that you can ignore all household chores for a day is a freeing feeling. Soak up that feeling and enjoy focussing your efforts and energy and the things that matter to you.

Housework is boring

Whilst there will be some who disagree with us, most people will be on our side. Housework is boring and a day where we don’t have to do any is a big win.

No Homework Day - Monday, May 6, 2024

Homework can be a pain, whether you’re still in school or not. No one likes doing homework every day. In fact it can be so stressful that can hamper learning rather than improve it.

No Homework Day is here to save you from those long hours. It gives you just the excuse to do what you please! Let’s learn more about the history of No Homework Day and how to celebrate it here at Days of the Year!

History of No Homework Day

Created by Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat.com, No Homework Day was created to help students focus on activities other than homework. This a time for parents to consider giving their children a break for the day and for schools to not assign homework on this day.

According to some studies on the topic homework can lead to stress, can be counterproductive to learning. It can consume any free time for other activities, and make it hard to see its importance in learning. Professors at Duke University suggest that the 10-minute rule should apply to homework.

They also feel that the homework should vary according to the individual student. No Homework Day isn’t about removing homework completely from the picture, but to take a step back and relax. No Homework Day is all about giving children a break to do whatever they like.

No Homework Day encourages parents and students to take a break from homework for a day to do whatever they like. Whether that means sleeping, reading a good novel, creating art, playing a sport, or any other hobby/activity.

This is the perfect excuse to do what you want, whenever you want. Because while homework can be a useful tool for learning, doing homework for the sake of homework just doesn’t work. Homework can be stressful, so a break from homework is well-deserved. It allows people to explore their lives and do what they wish.

How to Celebrate No Homework Day

Make good use of this time today to explore other interests that you’ve been putting off due to school, or just go out and have a good time. Volunteer for a charity organization to help your local community.

Take an extra-curricular class such as cooking or art to improve your skills. Go out for a walk and maybe head on over to the fitness center to exercise. Take this time to clean up around your home and make your home look beautiful.

You can also just sleep, watch movies, and relax because you deserve it. Share this holiday with friends and family and help them take a break from homework for the day!

The problem with homework - and no homework days

The Taoiseach opened a can of worms earlier this year when he told kids across Ireland they could have the day off from homework. He also helped restart an age-old debate - what is the point of homework?

• 14:31, 20 APR 2022

To celebrate National Confidence Day back in March, An Taoiseach , while isolating in New York had a special video message to school kids in Ireland.

“There is so much more we can all achieve if we believe in ourselves more and I’m asking you to believe in yourself today and every day.

“I’ve been speaking to your teachers, and they’re happy to let you off your homework for one day,” Micheál Martin said.

Happy days, or day, you might think.

Except it wasn’t, because what actually transpired is that for thousands of students across Ireland they still had homework - despite what the Taoiseach said.

While Micheál Martin is the leader of the country, he doesn’t rule over every class and school in Ireland. Rather, the “no homework” day was an initiative cooked up by Starcamp, who had contacted the Taoiseach’s office as well as schools across Ireland to inform them about National Confidence Day, part of which involved getting homework off.

But it was still down to the individual schools to decide whether they wanted to grant what the Taoiseach had commanded, and while many schools did, many others didn’t. This led to a lot of confusion and a lot of unhappy kids, parents and teachers.

It also dragged up a perennial debate about homework, which boils down to this: What is the point of homework? Do we have too much of it? Should we be following Finland’s lead and doing a lot less of it?

What happened on ‘no homework’ day?

Aideen O' Grady, founder and managing director of Starcamp , an educational company which organises camps for students throughout the year, told Buzz that she created National Confidence Day as a response to all the hardships that kids faced throughout the pandemic .

O’Grady created an educational package which featured Will Sliney, Keith Barry and Rory’s Stories. That package was then sent to schools throughout the country for free and the event was publicised widely.

"Basically I wanted to create something we could give to kids and teachers on national No Confidence Day," O’Grady said. No homework was part and parcel of it.

O’Grady said she thinks about 85 per cent of schools ran with the no homework day “but obviously the more vocal ones didn’t.”

She acknowledged that it’s entirely up to schools to decide if they want to grant a no homework day or to take part in the activities that Starcamp compiled

The response from schools was "insane," O'Grady said.

"It’s been such an incredible response to it that I hope it will continue and that schools will do a little more with it.”

Starcamp, based in Cork, also ran a No Homework Day in 2021 in which the Taoiseach also granted homework off to kids around St. Patrick’s Day.

O’Grady said she spoke to the Taoiseach’s press secretary and his team liked the message around National Confidence Day and that’s why he got on board.

The office of the Taoiseach may have been on board, but others most definitely were not.

On Twitter, Simon Lewis , an education podcaster and principal of Carlow Educate Together primary school called it "nonsense" adding, "most children don't get daily homework if they get homework at all. Another example of how out of touch these companies and the politicians are.”

However, Lewis was quickly schooled on the first part of his tweet: Kids in Ireland by and large do get homework on a daily basis, even if many parents and teachers would happily see homework ditched or substantially reduced.

“I’d have a fairly strong reaction to this kind of thing,” Lewis told Buzz, adding that he was surprised how things have gone back to “normal” post Covid.

“In Covid times, things like homework seemed to be disappearing from our world which I was very happy about.”

“Our concept of homework is always seen as a negative thing. Why do we look at homework as a negative thing?”

"When giving [homework] off is a kind of a prize, it just seems to me a bizarre thing, when the purpose of homework is to help children learn what they may not have caught or to reinforce what they learned in school," Lewis said.

He was also critical of how the March "no homework day" transpired, questioning the role of "commercial entities and politicians and celebrities" in giving homework off.

Teachers Buzz spoke with, who didn't give homework off on National Confidence Day said it was partly because they didn't know anything about the event. Others pointed out that they have their homework schedule mapped out weeks in advance, and the impromptu break was an annoyance.

Buzz contacted the Department of Education for comment about the no homework day in March as well as for information about policies and guidelines around granting a national no homework day.

A spokesperson for the Department told Buzz that "organisers of the Starcamp had requested all schools participating to take part in a no homework day in exchange for a good deed," but that "this was not a wider policy, it was for those involved with the Starcamp’s National Confidence Day initiative only.

As to the wider debate around homework and its place in the curriculum, a spokesperson for the Irish National Teachers' Organisation told Buzz that there are no motions around homework scheduled for discussion at this week's national conference, which concluded today in Killarney.

The problem(s) with homework

Lewis is likely not alone with the list of problems he has identified with "traditional" homework: It's boring and often too lengthy

“What’s the point in sending kids home with a page of maths, a page of spellings, a page of this, a page of that? That’s not proper homework," Lewis said, adding that it's more like "punishment"

He thinks that where and when it's given, homework needs to be meaningful, not a chore, there needs to be choice and it needs to be interesting. Lewis is something of an anti-homework apostle; since 2011 he's been on a mission to get rid of all homework in primary schools.

At his own school he leaves it up to the teachers what to give and how much to give, "as they know best."

"But I try to encourage them that the homework is meaningful and is completely optional, so that if the child doesn’t do it that’s OK," he said.

That's a message that most parents could get behind, especially parents of primary school children as it often falls to parents, especially mums, to become the support teacher at home.

Finish-ing with homework

O'Grady from Starcamp, says that a survey carried out by Starcamp found that 50 per cent of respondents wanted "homework to be radically changed and decreased."

A quarter of the parents surveyed wanted homework abolished completely.

O'Grady, a parent of four school-age children, said she would be in favour of having it "deceased massively and changed."

By example, she cites the homework her 10-year-old son got the previous day to our interview which dragged on for the best part of two hours.

"He had no time (to play) with his friends at this crucial time in his life," she said, adding that she'd happily sit down with the Department of Education and discuss this.

Like many, O'Grady singled out Finland, an education pioneer which has been experimenting with reducing homework.

According to the OECD - a club of mostly rich countries - pupils in Finland have the least amount of outside work and homework than any other students in the world.

What's more, the less is OK model they are trialling hasn't impacted Finland's standings in the international academic rankings : in reading, mathematics and science, students in Finland still perform better than average for OECD countries.

Homefun - an alternative?

Ciara Byrne, a primary school teacher in Scoil Eimhín Naofa, Monasterevin, trialled an alternative to homework in her school in 2020 which she called 'homefun'.

Writing in the INTO magazine In Touch , Byrne writes that: "...international evidence would strongly suggest that homework does not improve academic performance – it actually might be counterproductive, and evidence has shown that homework can harm family life, can be a cause of worry for children and increase stress in their homes."

Byrne, instead, set out to devise an alternative to homework centred on physical activities and gratitude over a month long period. Traditional homework such as spellings, tables and prescribed reading was ditched in favour of a more flexible regime.

"Children were encouraged to read, undertake physical activity and perform a gratitude task daily. In addition to this, they were given a menu of optional tasks," Byrne writes.

"These tasks were to provide ideas for parents, to help realise the potential for home learning, which is removed from the traditional type of homework. The idea was that families wouldn’t need to go home after collecting their child at school and sit at the kitchen table.

"Homefun was designed to give families much more flexibility and freedom in the evenings.

"The evidence from my research echoed that of the international data. The vast majority (62 per cent) of parents surveyed said that homework led to tension in their homes. The vast majority (78 per cent) of the children surveyed reported getting upset when doing their homework. The majority of teachers surveyed (53 per cent) did not believe homework was an enjoyable activity for their class.

"Yet, 100 per cent of teachers surveyed believed Homefun was enjoyable for their class."

Bottom line

"Homework is a hugely emotive thing," Lewis, the Carlow Educate Together principal said.

"There’s a reason why it becomes a big news story we need to look at it in-depth: Why we give it and how we give it and what’s the purpose?

Taoiseach announces no homework for children across the country to mark National Confidence Day

Taoiseach Micheal Martin has given children in Ireland a no homework day on Thursday.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has sent a special message from Washington to the children of Ireland for National Confidence Day giving students a no homework day.

To mark National Confidence Day on Thursday Mr Martin, who is still in isolation in Washington, asked children to “believe in yourself and your abilities” and thanked them for all their hard work.

“There is so much more we can all achieve if we believe in ourselves more and I’m asking you to believe in yourself today and every day.

“I’ve been speaking to your teachers, and they’re happy to let you off your homework for one day.

All you have to do is one kind deed instead of your homework. That could be looking out for a friend, looking after someone in your family, it’s up to you, you choose. So please enjoy.

Others to take part in a special show created by Starcamp entitled I Believe in Me and which will be shown in classrooms on Thursday, were Rory’s Stories, Colette Fitzpatrick, Will Sliney and Keith Barry.

Rory O' Connor, AKA Rory's Stories said: "You should never compare yourself to anyone else, the sun and the moonrise at different times but both are equally important.” 

The show was created on the back of a survey carried out by Starcamp which showed that almost 50% of parents feel that their children have become less sociable since the introduction of restrictions and 43% have been experiencing new anxieties, fears or worries.

The one-off show, 500,000 children are expected to tune into, consists of uplifting song, dance, games, magic and art along with some inspiring interviews and chats.

Director of Starcamp, Aideen O’ Grady, said: “This show was created for children who have had a harrowing two years, we want to give children confidence and self-esteem building tips that will stay with them for life.”

No Homework Day 2025 – March 6, 2025

No Homework Day, celebrated on March 6, is a holiday that seeks to give students a break from homework assignments. Homework refers to a set of tasks assigned to students by their teachers to be completed outside the classroom. Common homework could include any of a variety of required reading, mathematical exercises to be completed, information to be reviewed before a test, or other skills to be practiced, depending on the discretion of the teacher involved. The issue of how effective homework assignments are has been debated over the years. In a general sense, homework does not particularly improve the academic performance of students.

History of No Homework Day

No Homework Day was created by couple Thomas and Ruth Roy as a means to help students focus on activities other than homework. It is expected that on this day, parents give their children a break from homework and that teachers at school equally take a break from giving homework.Research has shown that homework can lead to stress, thereby being counterproductive to the learning process. Homework eats up children’s free time for other activities necessary for development, and its importance in learning is rather obscure. Professors at Duke University have suggested that the 10-minute rule should apply to homework.The No Homework Day isn’t about removing homework completely from the picture, but it is meant for everyone involved to take a step back and relax. It is about giving children a break. No Homework Day encourages students to take a break from homework for a day and focus on other rewarding activities like sleeping, reading a good novel, creating art, playing a sport, or any other such activity.

Homework affects students’ social lives

Homework usually gets in the way of students having an active social life, and if it gets too overwhelming, it could have negative effects on the students.

International No Housework Day

Origin of No Housework Day It is not known who started No Housework day, or when it was first celebrated. However, genius was him/her who first celebrated this day, hats off to him or her! What we can imagine is that this unique day was probably started by an over-worked woman who was tired of her daily chores. Additionally, maybe she had been more than likely taken for granted, and just raised her arms up in the air, announcing rather loudly, “Aarrgghh! I am tired, I seriously need a break and I declare this day, April 7, to henceforth be a No Housework Day!”

Who else will do the chores for a day? There is no need to get into the household activities on April 7 as it is all about you. Come on, it is a rest day to acknowledge your contribution in daily household activities.
