Good evening Mr Oates, Parents and Teachers. My name is Noah Lea , and I am a Year 9 student here at South Coast Baptist College. Today I will be addressing the issues of why homework can be detrimental to students from all year levels. I'd now like to share some of my ideas with you, so that teachers can lower the homework given to students.
Homework is a everyday thing for students like me all over the world, recently I have done some research on this ever growing topic. What I had found was that more than 60% of all students across the globe have had some sort of depression. This was included in the 2016 world student council. Stress can cause headaches, exhaustion, sleep deprivation, weight loss, and stomach problems. Fortunately, there are a number of schools across the globe lowering the amount of homework given to students to provide them with more time to spend with family and …show more content…
Less time studying means more time with friends and family. Even though the world is a vast place with many possibilities, students stay locked up in their room at their desk finishing homework. Although good grades might be a good repay of kindness, these children should have the opportunity to explore and to socialise. Therefor I believe homework should be gone.
And you teachers know that students aren't the only ones that have homework ,many teachers have some sort of 'homework' that they receive on a daily. Even though a average school day goes on for 6.7 hours, many teachers spend much more time after the bell has gone. The Washington Post claim that teachers work up to 53 hours a week. In their service hours, they might grade tests or assign homework. If a average school week goes on for around 33.5 hours, that means that teachers spend more than 20.5 hours additional work after the school day. Don't you think it is time to stop homework
