Less Homework, Yes

     Some students who get lots of homework also get things taken back. Such as having fun at home after coming back from a hard day of school, not liking school anymore, no time to hang out with friends, or even no time to watch t.v., use the internet, or play the d.s. etc. I adore school but as soon as I come home, I have to finish a tremendous amount of homework. It takes approximately two hours to finish my homework each school day, especially since I always take breaks. Let kids be kids without coming home with a big stack of homework to finish.
     Did you know that all of this homework is now causing some students to get sick? Well, it is and that is really bad. Since too much homework assignments are given, the students are getting lots of school related headaches, stomachaches, sleep problems, and depression than ever before. A lot of pressure and thinking is being held because of all the hard and confusing problems on their homework. The students strength, natural curiosity, and love of learning is being weak and not strong. Other people who disagree with me would say, students should learn and homework is a huge part of learning. Getting sick is usual, plus, it doesn’t have to mean the students got sick cause of school. This is wrong because a professor of psychology at the City College of New York studied and examined this and the results were students got sick because of the homework.
     Students throughout the world who get lots of homework get family time and enjoyment taken back. Did you know that students got so much homework in elementary school that they couldn’t take any breaks or simply just enjoy the evening? Those poor little kids, they were only in elementary school. Some students in all grade levels get lots of homework during the holidays and breaks. Even then on the holidays they could not enjoy their time with family. I think this part is really wrong because breaks are for enjoyment and school free. Instead of enjoying, you’d be doing your homework. Others would say, family is with you all the time and you go to school only eight hours. This is wrong because too much homework is being given that even if family is with you, you have to focus on your homework.
     Too much homework is been given that students can’t attend other activities. (Playing instruments, athletic sports etc.) When this happens, students can’t do or learn anything besides their big stacks of homework. Most activities involve staying healthy such as sports. Without doing these activities, we won’t stay that healthy. Staying healthy is really important for both parents and kids. People who disagree would say, homework is more important than activities. I disagree because learning new things is important too. Without learning new things, you wouldn’t be able to do other things since you’ve never tried it.
     All in all, too much homework should be banned from schools. With this rule, students would not get sick, get family time and enjoyment, and would get to attend other activities. At this moment, the whole day is spent with learning new things at school and homework at night. Kids don’t have the time to be free and out of the school session. I hope you understand what I am trying to say. When thinking about the homework tomorrow, make sure its less instead of a lot!

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS AFTER THANKSGIVING!

     The holiday season has finally appeared. First, comes Thanksgiving in November and then comes Christmas in December. They are both astonishing holidays that I adore! Lot of people put their Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving even comes. Some people agree to doing that and some people don't, I am one of the people who don't agree to that.
     Well, Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful for things not to play Christmas songs and waste your time putting up Christmas decorations. If you want to put any decorations, you might as well just put up Thanksgiving decorations. This time of fall should be spent with family and having an awesome day. It should not be a day thinking about Christmas. also, the radio shouldn't be putting Christmas carols such as "Walking in a Winter Wonderland". They should be putting Thanksgiving songs. 
     On the other hand, some people have really important jobs and work to do. They can't waste their time and they have to spend it wisely. Those people who spend their  Thanksgiving time on Christmas decorations are wrong. What about the weekends? You can spend your weekends doing some or few Christmas decorations. Also, let Thanksgiving pass first and then do stuff for Christmas. It isn't like the world is ending tomorrow. Now you know what to do, if you are one of those people who put up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving.
     All in all, I am trying to say you should put up Christmas decorations after Thanksgiving. You don't want to miss a holiday that comes only once every year. Hopefully, you follow what I say next year!!!!

My Gift For Christmas This Year

     The holiday of Christmas is only coming up! On the night of Christmas, Santa Claus comes to town and gives everyone precious, delightful, and loving gifts/presents. As a wish for my present this year, i am requesting Santa to put a brand, new ipad under my Christmas tree. I know and can prove to you that I'm worthy for getting this astonishing gift.
     Currently, I have an ipod at my house. I use my ipod to listen to songs and play games such as "Brick" when I am bored or tired.  However, an ipad would be much easier to handle. Also, my sister and me are always arguing about who should get to use the ipod first. Once I get an ipad, my sister and me won't argue which always leads to fighting in the house. 
      As you can see, I am worthy of getting this admirable gift in many ways. I am certainly really focused, concerned, and serious about my education because I would ruin my future life. If I stick on getting a good education, I can be successful when i grow up.  I also get really good grades in all classes. If Christmas wouldn't be coming up about a month from now, I would have taken my parents to a store and bought it with my own money that I have been saving for about four months now. as you can see, I am really desperate and looking forth to getting an ipad.
     i know at this time of year, you are engaged at work with a bundle of requests from people throughout the world. With many wishes of mine, I chose this one because it is the most important one of all and I like it the most! Once again I know you will be really busy so whether or not you are going to bring this gift i have chosen, thank you for all the gifts you have given in the past!
