Homework keeps students from doing after school activities, because we don't have time for both. In her article Sara Bennett states “Study after study shows that homework is not much more beneficial in middle school either. Even in high school, where there can be benefits, they start to decline when kids overload on homework” (3). This quote shows that having too much homework shows less benefits for the teens which is giving us less time to do other things. Teens need more time after school to be able to participate with other activities and we can't do that if we have a ton of homework to do. Since homework is already not beneficial for students, there is no need for students to keep doing it.
