A primary school scraps written homework because it adds to "stress" - a good move? Or should we encourage our children to toughen up?

An English primary school has scrapped written homework for nearly all its pupils because it adds to "stress." All year groups, apart from Year 6 in Littletown Primary Academy in Devon will be encouraged to do 20 minutes of reading every night instead. The change is aimed at reducing teachers' workloads as well as taking the pressure off children and their families. So, should we stop homework because it's adding to the stress in our children's lives? Or should we encourage our children to toughen up?
