Homework should definitely reduced because kids now never have the opportunity to play outside or relax because we spend our nights doing homework! Because clearly some teachers think “seven hours of school isn’t enough!” Parents also most of the time need to help kids with homework so they have to spend nights doing homework with their kids and they don’t have the chance to cook dinner or do anything for themselves because of the amount of homework! Adults always complain that kids spend too much time on their phone, iPad, etc. But if we would be given less homework then we would at least have the opportunity to play outside and spend time with our families. Homework should definitely be reduced for sure!
I KNOW! Y’all don’t like this homework we be getting from these schools! *clears throat Sorry but still we NEED to reduce this demon called homework because it stresses everyone. Homework must be reduced because of all the stress it puts on kids, teachers and parents. Imagine you have to go home and do all this homework from some teacher and your sitting there like “man I ain’t doing this thing y’all teachers be getting up in my grill” and then your parents are watching thinking we need to call the asylu-er we need to help our child, but it doesn’t stop there your teacher still needs to organize and correct all these papers it must be so aggravating. But then even when the stress dies down, you constantly worry about the next class it’s just a vicious cycle that will take your life away. One marvelous study showed that two experts observed that homework in large quantities can reduce students family time and stress. In conclusion we need to stop the demonic creature called “homework”.
ABSOLUTELY. I totally agree with you. Homework is stressing us out way too much. I like how you said that it's a vicious cycle cause it is. The emotion you put in this blog shows people how much you're passionate to reduce homework. Amazing blog!
You blog is hilarious mostly the part when you called homework a demon! I agree the amount of homework we get should be reduced. Great blog! -Isabella DiMarco
I know for a fact that homework should be reduced, my fact would be from the website: http://www.christineduvivier.com/2011/02/3-reasons-to-reduce-homework/ and this website states that homework is very stressful. On this website I have just stated it has been proven, and this website explains that homework should be reduced for 3 main reasons; the first reason is; if teachers reduce the amount of homework that students get every night, every day, every weekend then the children with bond more with their family and friends, the second reason why teachers should reduce homework and this website explains is that it will reduce the family’s stress and the child/teen/adults stress! The final reason why homework should be reduced and that this website explains is that the children need to have time for activities, like I know I couldn’t keep up with the homework in grade six because I was a gymnast and I had trained for 12 hours a week, another example would be a teenager’s life; by that I mean every school is always asking you to get more involved like at St.Thomas High School there are many activities that everyone wants to join but if they have too much work to do they won't do one and which do you think a child would pick? That's right, the activity! This is why I know that homework should be reduced!
“I say give the kids a break...Let the kids enjoy life before life gets too tough.”Monica Pelerin. Homework is a constant complaint by children and young adults. The stress is growing by people at a younger age than normal. If you ask your parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, they will all tell you that after school they would go play outside and relax. In this day and age people are getting more homework especially on the computer. More electronic devices for homework means less time outside. Kids will get distracted by being on the computer or phone and will waste time. Even after doing all the homework, kids have to study, read, find a place to print information, kids deserve a break. Kids should be able to go home and act like children while they can...before they turn into independent, responsible adults.
With being in school all day, we shouldn't have to do more work at home. I have a lot of classes and get homework in almost everyone of them. When I get home I don’t want to be spending time doing homework, I’d rather be with my friends and having fun.
We should not have any homework. We are in school all day, listening to teachers and doing work in class. Once we get home we should have the chance to do what we want. Homework should be reduced too much is not good for us. There are no benefits to homework studies shown that homework does not help us learn. Homework is a waste of time and we should have the right to be kids.
Quote: Dear Math solve your own problems I’m tired of solving them for you.
Everybody hates homework! Most teachers give way too much! After a full day at school, learning, listening and working, kids should be let off the hook once the school day is done. Kids stay up all hours of the night studying and stressing for upcoming tests and working on unending assignments. Kids don’t get enough time just to be kids. We hear all the time that the younger generation is becoming more obese and that it doesn’t get enough exercise. Yet, how are kids supposed to fit in a healthy lifestyle if all they have is homework? In addition to keeping enough time aside for physical activity, children also need their downtime. What is so wrong with watching an hour or so of TV or just hanging out on social media? Perhaps some teachers are either just too busy in their own lives and don’t realise the importance of a balanced lifestyle. In conclusion, students should work hard at school, play hard, get enough sleep and relaxation, and learn that everything has its place and importance in life.
I believe that homework should be reduced. There are so many reasons why I feel this way. Firstly, us teenagers are always busy and stressed out because of all the homework we get in all of our classes. Secondly, because we’re always so busy with our homework, we don’t have a lot of time to do other activities; such as sports, playing video games, sleep and hanging out with friends. Like Mr. Katz says “It’s your job to be mature in school, but when it’s after 2:25, it’s your job to be kids”. So let us be kids and give us less homework!
As a student in St.Thomas high school I get a lot of homework. I have 6 periods a day and in almost every period I get at least 3 pages of homework. There are 9 periods in total and most teachers act as if we don’t have any other homework. At debate.org they state that homework is a waste of time. 91 % of debate.org says yes homework should be reduced. “Homework creates stress among students, it creates more work for teachers, and it separates children and their parents. Decreasing homework will ameliorate these problems.” says chicagotribune.com. This evidence proves that homework should be reduced.
Teachers give kids too much homework because at their age they should be JUST kids after the six (6) and a half (½) hours that they spend in school! Kids are so stressed with the amount of homework that they get from their teachers, that they can’t fall asleep at night. Also with the amount of homework they get from all eight teachers, they find it is so overwhelming that when they TRY to study for tests they usually get distracted and scared that they are not going to finish all the projects and other homework they get from their other teachers. If homework is reduced kids will get better marks in school. I think that because they won’t be so stressed that they will actually think about what they are doing. I think that homework should be reduced.
Lets all be honest here, homework sucks! Our job when we return home is to be a child we don't spend 6 hours at school and spend another at home doing 2 more hours of work. Teachers need to realise that some of us are losing sleep because of it. I am completely against homework. Homework puts à lot of stress on children which causes migraines, loss of sleep and irritation. I myself am guilty of pulling tantrums while doing my homework, kids mainly do this because they are irritated of parents bugging them and asking if they're done there work yet. But most of all, 90% of homework given to children kill trees! Were lucky that we live in à world were at least 10% of are homework is online but we really need to cut down on using trees, trees should only be for helping people breath but at the rate we're going, we're gonna loose à bunch of trees. We all need to reduce stress, Tantrums and gain more trees.
This is what I know about homework.First you have to do the work at home all by yourself when you literally just finished going to school for six and half hours.That’s really long and well not just that but I have to wake up at six in the morning and get off the bus at three in the afternoon. After a long day mostly every kid wants to sleep, eat, play, go to a party, play sports and etc.. Second thing homework gets me so stress out and it gets me really bored. In elementary school I was complaining that I had so much things to do but I actually only one thing to do in total. Now that I am in high school I have nine class and I think I have homework from all of the class and also tests and projects. Third thing is that my “childhood” is wasted by doing homework all the time. If I didn’t have all these things to do my life would have been much happier! Knowing that I wouldn’t have homework would be greater than good it would be amazing because that means that I have more opportunities to be with my family, friends, and more.After all there is so many people in the world that hate homework and i’m so happy that people can understand why homework sucks.
After going to school for 6 hours, you don't want to do even more work! Homework should be reduced because according to the research conducted in Stanford University in 2013, students that spend too much time on homework experience more stress and have a lack of balance in their lives. This even happened to me. I had a whole bunch of homework and I had to finish it because the next day we were going to Toronto. I was so stressed and I couldn't concentrate, I just wanted to finish it all. I finished it in the end, but I don't like it when I get stressed over homework.
When we get home we should be able to play, not work. We spend hours listening to our teacher and doing work everyday. We don't get enough sleep each night because we are too busy doing our homework. When we get home we should be able to relax and not stress out about homework. We spend 3 hours a night doing homework that is too way much. If teacher reduce the level of homework the students’ stress will go down. We all need a break.
We all really do need a break! I go to bed so late that the evening after school I just want to sleep, but I can't because I still need to do all my homework. Good blog!
All day, everyday, we sit through 6 hours of work and listen to our teachers go on and on about work and then the last thing we wanna do when we get home, is do more work! some kids spend 2-3 hours doing homework each night!!! That barely gives you enough time to spend time with your family! I think we all need a break of homework.
Homework should be reduced because it causes so much stress on children, teens and adults. As a high school student, I wake up at 6:20 and go to bed at around 10:00 because I have so much homework. That means I only get around seven and a half or eight hours of sleep, and the average teenager is supposed to get nine and a half. The only way that I will be functional the next day is if I get my nine and a half hours of sleep, and time to have fun and relax the night after school. This is so important because kids need to learn that there is more to life then sitting down at a desk working like a crazy machine. If we reduce the amount of homework that children get, we will eliminate unnecessary anxiety and stress so that everyone can be happy and free.
How much can you take!? I think homework should be reduced. I believe it is too much stress at such a young age. Homework takes time away from being outside, with your family or doing a hobby/sport. We hear that adults should have a balanced life. How can kids learn how to do this if we don’t have the time to? Homework should be done in class and if you do not finish than you can do it at home. The teachers pack on too much every day. Each one does not know what the other assign. It affects our sleep since sometimes we are up late still doing homework. Then we cannot think straight the next day during class where it really matters and where you really have to pay attention to everything. We already spend 6 hours 5 days a week devoted to learning and I think that is good enough for one day. That is 1200 hours in a school year of learning. 6000 hours will be spent in class in all 5 years of high school. Let’s not forget we still have CEGEP and university ahead of us.
Well in college you can apply to a specific amount of studies as long as you have the grades. So that type homework is to prepare you for your degrees. And degrees are needed for good the job(s) you want.
Homework, a natural necessity for future success and a test of how well you can cope whilst balancing your life. Homework is undoubtedly key to success. Why? You may ask well, homework can be either study or practice and develops your knowledge of the study. If you are given a lot of homework that can be beneficial in the sense that you will be prepared for when in the future you receive a massive workload. To back my opinion, a quote from Teach-nology “Doing homework will prepare students for the big end tests. If a child does poorly on an assignment then they will learn what is necessary to do well on the next test without being punished”
I KNOW homework shoud be reduced. Not to nothing but reduced. Kids should be allowed to have time to themselves without stress or anxiety. We should be allowed time to oursleves to socialise, relax, be kids, etc without the stress and anxiety of homework. Homework is scientifically proven to create stress, anxiety, depression, anti-socialness, etc. Homework should be reuced but not wiped out. We need homework to practice a subject without 20 plus other kids in the room while doing something to help us remember example: it is scientifically proven that people with ADHD work better with music on. I can tell you from personal experience its true. But in a classroom enviorment you can’t do that in a normal situation with most teachers. “Inundating children with hours of homework each night is detrimental, the research suggests, while an hour or two per week usually doesn't impact test scores one way or the other. However, homework only bolsters students' academic performance during their last three years of grade school.” -www.livescience.com (So sorry this is late. I have been having problems with the wifi)
