Help me

I’m sure you’re going to agree with me on this one. Teachers are being forced to give out homework, everybody clearly knows no one does homework and we are being punished for not doing homework when we have the right no to do it. I believe that it’s a waste of paper to give out homework because no one ever does it. We have 6hrs of work and 2 breaks in the middle, having to do homework is just annoying for everyone. Most us 13-14 year olds have chores to do after school before settling down after…

then goes to explain that it doesn’t matter each student is different and needs different amount of time, so instead of quantitative homework; students need qualitative homework (Wilson). Another part of the argument is that homework does nothing to help students grades, but some authors have proof from studies that says otherwise. Alfie Kohn, contradiction himself, says some studies show that there is a correlation between homework and test scores, showing that there is a point to homework no…

lose their funding because of it. When students receive any form of financial aid they should also get an e-mail or something containing the information they need to know to keep that financial aid. This could help reduce the number of students who lose grants and other scholarships and help them have a better chance at obtaining a college degree. I can relate to having to maintain a GPA because I have to maintain a GPA of 3.5 or higher to stay in the honors program. Also, I have to maintain a…

Firsthand college freshman, recent high school graduates, still have the mind set of being in high school. It is their initiation of becoming adults and having to constantly have mixed feelings about their new journey. College is hard to sometimes hard for some people, since students have been accustomed to high school for four years. It is students’ first experience and can be intimidating for some scholars. It is not like school, where everything is handed to you as to where college is more…

mentor. Because of my experience at orientation, I will be able to notice the students that may be feeling the way I did, and I can help them realize that they are doing what is best for them. Once I got to college and had some experiences, I realized that I really did love it here. However, my first month was very rough, and I begged my mom multiple times to let me come home. I want to share my experiences with students, and prepare them for the possibility that, in the beginning, college may…

For one hundred years in this country, homework has come and gone. It started in 1901 when the state of California abolished homework but then in the 1950’s there was once again pressure on the need of homework. One hundred years later, American students’ have homework. The effect and pressure of homework has crippled the average American student for a while now, nowhere to go to for comfort and understanding. We find ourselves exiled in our rooms for hours with no contact to the outside world.…

To me, homework is many hours of my time wasted on relearning the stuff we did in class. Students come home every day with tons of books in their backpacks. Schools shouldn’t give out homework anymore. Children get less sleep and their social life deteriorates. Homework only makes a small impact on their performance. Kids tend to score lower on standardized tests. Obviously, schools shouldn’t give homeworks because their health decreases, it barely makes an impact, and it actually makes the…

beginning of my first semester at the University of Akron, has been a complete roller coaster. I have made friends, lost friends, dropped classes and of course, slept through classes. Being five hours away from my home in South Bend, Indiana has affected me more than I thought it would. I came into college thinking that I would make a ton of friends, get excellent grades and maybe even go to a few parties. I did not think that I would be close to almost dropping out of college as a whole.…
