Homework Writing
Homework, a word that makes every student cringe. The life of a student is actually fairly simple. Wake up, go to school for hours, come home and work on hours of homework. This is not the way things should be in life. We all spend countless hours during the day working hard to grasp the concepts of the new curriculum. Then, after all the hard work at school we have to go home and do a mountain as big as Everest of homework. This barely gives us a chance to recuperate after the busy day at school. Homework is not necessary and should only be given in limited amounts. Time should specifically be allotted for work in class, and limited homework should be given.
HOMEWORK WRITING only seems to promote stress in the lives of students everywhere and physically, emotionally, and physically drains us. Society also wants us to become well rounded individuals, yet how can we do this when all we do is schoolwork? Something has to be done, things have to change.
Think about it, school should be the place for work and after school should be personal time. Isn’t that the way things are suppose to be? Limited homework would change the lives of students everywhere. It seems today, the difficult curriculum is stressful enough for students. We need time to relax and unwind from our day after school. Sadly, this isn’t a reality. Homework makes us stressed out physically, emotionally, and mentally. For the well being of students everywhere, we need a break. We aren’t machines that can work countless hours on school work. It seems that teachers don’t seem to understand that we have other classes as well. You may only have one hour of homework in English for example, but pile that on top of three other classes and the entire night has vanished into another awful night of work. There is a difference between giving ten questions so the student is able to go over the major topics learned and pounding that subject into the ground by giving twenty questions on every aspect of the lesson learned that day. We are humans beings who deserve a break from work, therefore the curriculum should be set up so that students don’t have so much work to do at home.
Secondly, society promotes the development of teenagers as social beings. Again, another silly comment since it’s a little difficult to go out and have a good time when we are toiling away, locked in our room every night doing homework. How can we be expected to develop as a person if we don’t even have the time? As young adults we should be able to have the time to spend time with friends, participate in extra curricular activities, and relax when were not in school.
The portrait of perfection of a teenager is someone who is well rounded. They play sports, have a job, have a social life, and do well in school. In considering the amount of homework we get now this feat seems almost impossible to accomplish.
In conclusion, the hours spent on homework each night are uncalled for. Teachers should give a maximum of 20 minutes of homework a night so students will still have a chance to relax and do activities they enjoy. Teenage years are supposed to be some of the best years of life yet this statement is hard to believe in looking at what we go through. Learning wouldn’t be a chore if the homework load was lighter. Learning should be a positive experience not a negative one. The lives of students would be changed for the better if only we were given the chance to enjoy ourselves just a little during the school year.
