How Should Homework Be Changed

Decent Essays
As you can see I'm not a huge fan on the idea of “homework” and I really do believe it should be changed because if you think about it it’s basically child abuse, kids having to stop doing their sports outside of school, increasing kids stress level, turning children to antisocial monsters. I think it’s cruel and should be changed. Are you happy watching your child stress over their time wasting on homework?

Are you proud that you hardly socialize with your child because they are covered with work to complete?I strongly believe that there should be no more than two homework for a child to complete because most kids do sports or an activity of some sort after school and have no time to do their homework in time and they should have time to concentrate on their sports. And don't forget when they tired children get home from school they want to relax from working hard at school, but the work doesn't stop because they have a ton of more work to complete.

The worst part is teachers don't understand that kids barely have enough time to do our works and we are still being punished, and wait, this the best part, consequences are getting more severe. I think this extremely unfair, teachers encourage kids to be more active and do sports and we definitely shouldn't be getting

    First of all, homework causes stress on students. We may as well just spend all day at school if we are having school at home anyways. Students should go to school, work on “school” work, then come home and not do “school” work at home. This would increase the productivity and attitudes of students. I, for one, would be in a much better mood concerning school if I knew that I didn’t have to look forward to coming home to more school work.…

    In Jodi Meltzer Darter’s very direct and informative Huffington Post article “No Homework Policy Lets Elementary School Kids Be Kids”, Darter informs the reader that before her children's school changed to a ‘No Homework Policy’, her children would get off the bus and immediately start an hours worth of homework. She acknowledged that she has always been a critic of the demands of elementary school children. Darter then goes into details, explaining that her kids don’t really get the chance to expel their energy during school other than the 20 minute recess. Because of the ‘No Homework Policy’ now implemented at her children's school, Darter then concludes that her children have better grades, they have the chance to be who they want to be,…

    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.

    Another example is that, after school, kids just need to relax and cool down from having a long tiring day of school. At this age (12-16…) kids are in high school and they will start to get heaps of homework from every subject, that’s like 1 hour for every subject! Some night’s kids have to study for exams/tests/naplan and still having homework piling up on their backs.…

    Students, teachers, and parents are still arguing that kids have too much homework. Kids are arguing that it’s a waste of time. Parents are arguing that it takes away the time they could be spending with family. Teachers are arguing that it’s more work on them because they have to grade multiple sheets of homework they give out. Kids should have less homework because it takes away valuable time that could be spent with family and too much homework can cause a lot of stress and students barely get any sleep.…

    Well obviously we all know that but we are taught it's because of bullies but lots of times it's because they don’t want to have to deal with a test, quizzes, or homework they forgot to do . This stressed kids and teens way more than they should be. They already have to deal with their outside lives. Though when you think about it studies show students spend about 900-1,000 hours of a year in a classroom.…

    For example, check out this video on the impacts of homework . This video does not only talk about the amount of time homework students have per night, but also talks about the activities and time spent with friends and family. Students need time to do their homework well and thoroughly and if they rush to get to activities they enjoy doing, they may not be doing their best job. Teachers probably have some sort of superpower regarding kids who stay up late. In fact anyone can tell.…

    Research has not consistently shown a positive correlation between homework and academic success. During elementary school, I believe students should be able to go home to their families and friends in the evenings after spending seven to eight hours in school. When I get home from my long work day, it is a struggle to get started on homework or housework. All I want to do is spend quality time with my family and friends and to take part in activities that capture my interest. I believe young students need time to unwind from the demands that school can bring.…

    No homework I think if kids don't have homework the student and the teacher would not be so stress and school will be easier. If kids have homework, the student will never get to be relaxed because they’re stressing over homework. No family time! When kids get home, they will never get to spend time with their family because they have to get their homework done.…

    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.…
