Question

ASASP PLZZ HELP What is the counterclaim of this paragraph? [1] It's all over the news: kids are spending a lot of time on homework. [2] With the current emphasis on high-stakes testing, educators are trying to do more with less, which can result in an overabundance of schoolwork outside of school.

[5] On the contrary, homework is necessary and helpful, designed so students can practice the concepts taught in class, build good study habits, and reflect on their own learning.
