Still our schools today are rushing to crunch and cram as much information into their student’s minds as possible in the limited time allowed to the teachers, and our nation needed a way to extend the education past the normal school hours, so our nation turned to homework.

There is no longer a need for excessive amounts of homework. Homework is no longer an effective way of helping students raise their poor grade in a teacher’s class. Society today tells teens and children that they will never be good enough, and a poor grade may just further justify that statement. Teachers most of the time want to give students every possible chance to succeed
