Teachers and students, more than 50%
Homework is one more this that replays the idea of early stress for the teenager. Homework is something that should not be provided. High school students should have the liberty to go home for family and self-dedicated time just like the rest of the family members that no longer attend high school. Some teachers assigned homework and set due dates too soon for the amount of work provided with not…
My Declaration of Independence I am here today to announce my frustration with the amount of homework given on any day. The problem with all of the homework is that some people have other things to do, and may not have time to complete all of the given homework. I think it’s safe to say that the amount of homework is just a bit too much, and not completing all of it seriously can bring down some grades for people. People do not deserve to have homework in every class, almost every day.…
A Relentless Burden Various levels of government, including at the state and local level, impose guidelines on the curriculum for our public schools. The purpose of the curriculum is to establish an equal footing among students for their continued studies for college and the workforce. Homework is incorporated in the agenda and committee teachers impose a minimum requirement every night. With differing amounts in certain areas and days, people question whether a significant amount of homework does more harm than good in our modern societies. The U.S News & World Report conducted a survey on over 1,000 students and confirmed that “teachers on average assign about 3.5 hours of homework each week.…
On average, high school students spend up to 17.5 hours a week on homework (Bidwell). Combine that with five days a week with three hours of practice in each. Adds up to a grand total of 32 hours of your precious seven day week, gone. For me, living 45 minutes away from the school decreases the already cramped amount of time I have for homework. After an almost three hour practice and then getting home around eight, I do not have the motivation to even…
The time for homework will vary among students; however, the average of assigned homework will come around four hours per week. It may not sound that like much at first, but four hours can be a lot to some students, especially in college. In high school, college was glorified by mass media- everything seemed so much easier. Some students may not be able to study or do homework but once a week with a full time job along with other responsibilities. If students are expected to do four hours of assignments a week, it can force them to have to do it all in one or two days.…
Causing to have a late night and the cycle repeats on and on for the rest of the week. For athletes in particular, going to practice and coming home after a couple hours of strenuous activity and a long day of school the last thing on their minds is to solve for x. I believe teachers should be forced to limit the amount of homework…
Abeles writes, " daily homework of many students is as long as lawyers, teachers, medical residents. " I agree many students get a lot of homework in a day from all the classes combined. To a teacher assigning homework may think that he/she is not giving a lot of homework for the night, but combined with all the other teacher's homework kids get overworked. I can remember a time in high school when I got math homework about 20 questions. Then I went to my English class and had to read a chapter from a book and answer a few questions.…
How Homework is Affecting America There is one word in the English language that constantly keeps American children up all night, cheating off other peers, fighting with their family, but most of all, creates so much stress kids have developed unhealthy habits and disorders . Homework. The meek word children in America cringe to hear. The argument of homework has been going for a while now, whether is it is improving education or “busy work” to make the teachers look innocent.…
You wake up at six in the morning, get dressed, brush your teeth, and eat breakfast. Your eyes droop as you try to sit through the seven hour school day. Teachers constantly nag at you to stay awake and at the end of the day, assign two to three hours of homework assignments. After an unpleasant day at school you have to go to soccer practice. The coach yells at you because you don 't look alive.…
Students already spend a third of their day working hard at school, and another third of their day sleeping. They deserve to have the remaining time to enjoy more important things such as time with their families. The most important reason homework for students should be banned is because it interferes with invaluable, quality family time. Many students do not have enough time to have a break let alone time to spend with their families.…
Which means no family time because when homework is done its bedtime, and every kid that age should have time with their family and friends it’s an important part of growing up. There is also the fact about the stress placed on these students and their parents. When a child needs help with homework they ask their parents or teacher. They can’t ask their teacher from home or their parents if they are at work. The argument of “why can’t they ask the teacher during class for help?”.…
With all of the stress that is already coming from school, homework only emphasizes that. There should be less homework because it takes up students time, causes a lot of stress, and causes many personal and social problems. A primary reason that students have less free time is that teachers assign an excessive amount of homework. Some students have said “Homework is all I have time for; there’s never…
Students get up early, get ready for school, then are at school for seven hours; they then have after school sports, jobs, and homework. Homework overload is one of the bigger problems with the system. When I was in ninth and tenth grade, I would come home with 2-3 hours of homework. I struggled with keeping up my grades and staying focused on my homework. I would get distracted because it was hard to stay focused on something for so long, especially when it was something I didn’t enjoy.…
56% of people say that homework should be abolished while 44% say it shouldn 't be (Suhay). Majority parents want their child to have a free lifestyle with an education. Abolishing homework would not only make the students happy, but the parents because they expect their children to be doing well while being able to hang out with their family and friends. Homework from elementary to middle school has increased an hour more and has students staying up late. Parents noticed that their children have been bringing in about 2 or 3 hours.…
Homework has been linked to achieving better results and better grades, so why are some schools banning it? Studies have shown the positive and negative effects of homework, and with a moderate amount, the positive effects outweigh the negative ones. Homework should not be banned, as it teaches discipline and time management skills, as well as supplements and accelerates learning. It is also needed in order to meet international education standards. Homework is important for numerous reasons, one of which being that it helps teach time management skills and discipline, especially in young children.…
