Homework..
Why do we get homework? I just don’t understand why we need it. We go to school every day for eight hours (seven if you don’t count break and lunch) and get our education. Then, we come back home after a long, exhausting day and have to do more! There are things that we students would like to do when we get to our houses after school, such as nap or watch TV, or anything but homework. And those of us who have activities, like soccer, volleyball, or dance have enough to worry about trying to cram those into our busy lives. Things like studying for a test, completing a project, reading, or blogging I can understand, but why do I have to leave school just to come home and read through textbooks and answer questions? Luckily, I have time in classes to get it done, but still. I don’t want to have to worry about having homework all the time and being concerned about when it’s due and what I have to do, etc. It can be stressing, and that’s the last thing we want to be, stressed. Some people say that homework helps you practice and understand the subject that you are studying. I guess that’s true, but sometimes it can feel like an overload. When I come to think of it, there haven’t been that many times where I had so much homework that I could have exploded. But there have been some times where three different classes have assigned research papers and stories and projects to be due all around the same time. All I’m saying is, maybe we don’t NEED homework to get through our education. It can help, but we don’t need it. But when I think about it, I don’t necessarily have anything to complain about, because lately the homework hasn’t been as hard or as much as it was before. Hopefully, high school won’t be an overload of work either. So yeah. These were just some really random thoughts because I really didn’t know what to write about. But there you go. My opinion about homework has been stated. Peace

You know I’ve been thinking this for a while and homework is a bunch of crud. I hardly ever think about what im doing so, it really doesn’t help.
Posted April 23, 2008, 10:03 amHey! I love this post because you explain everything so well and I totally think the same as you do, but you know homework is helpful. It is helpful because if we didn´t practice at home, we would forget the things right away, but I guess that sometimes homework can be stressing and all that kinds of things. I also think that sometimes teachers don´t think about how many homework they are giving us and that´s why sometimes we have a bunch of homework. However, teachers should also consider that we also have other activities and that sometimes they should give us more time to turn in the assignment and think that we don´t dedicate all our time thinking about school and that we also want to have fun. Whatever, that´s the way things are and we are not going to be able to change them.
