Ban Homework
by Perla, 10
We should not have homework. We get a lot of homework and that makes kids get stressed about finishing it all. We get too much homework,it brings stress and anxiety. Sometimes you have separate classes outside of school, like guitar dance or swimming class, or sometimes you even have guests coming over for dinner. You don’t always have the time to do the work that the teacher expects from you. It’s overwhelming. Sometimes kids have trouble sleeping either because they didnt have time to finish their homework or they are worried about their teacher telling them it isn’t good enough.
By the time you get back from school it is late, you are exhausted. When you come back from school, almost nine hours of work, you’re super tired, that’s not even the end of school - you still need to work even more. By the time you come back from school it is late, your parents, most of the time, are already making dinner when you arrive at home, and that’s when the stress comes in. Your mom or dad is almost finished making the food for the guests when they come over or maybe you have piano class or even on a normal day, you only have like ten minutes to do all your homework.
We already have almost nine hours of work per day! We already work at school thirty six hours per week! And to add it up we have homework every day, even on weekends. Instead, they must make us do the work that the teacher wants us to do at home in class. We should not have homework. All the homework should be schoolwork. Homework leads to stress and anxiety which leads to no sleep which leads to being scared to go to school.
