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!
