Have you hated having homework?, wouldn’t you rather do something fun instead of staying up late doing homework?(Rhetorical Question) There should be little to no homework because it interferes with after school activities, some students do not have the time to do it (or will not do it anyway) and it is more work the teacher has to grade.
Speaking as a student, it is because we have lots homework that students like you and me end up staying up late to get it done.(Ethos) From the teachers perspective it is just one assignment (sometimes more than just one) but to the students if every teacher gives at least one assignment that adds to your homework load. “A survey done through the University of Michigan found that by the 2002-'03 school

For example, chores. They get in the way especially if your parents make you do a lot. There is also distractions like older, younger brothers or sisters that you have to babysit or they just keep distracting you.
Believe it or not there is also work on the teachers side. Think about it, if a teacher assigns homework to the class and assume this class has thirty students and assume that everyone did their homework that night. Thats thirty assignments the teacher has to grade and enter in the gradebook. I am sure they want to do fun things too, instead of sitting at a desk and computer grading mountains of papers. (Hyperbole)
Homework is an overgrown jungle that needs to be cut down to a manageable size.(Metaphor) So I recommend that we should have little to no homework because of students having to stay up late doing it, it interferes with after school activities, family time, some students do not have the time to do it and lets face it, it is just more work the teachers have to grade, so it is a lose-lose situation. In the future I hope that one day students can have little to no homework so we can do activities we enjoy doing and get a good nights rest (assuming you go to bed at a decent
Studies show homework barely makes a difference. Kids claim homework is useless to them, and they might be right. Homework can be hard for kids and when they have trouble then it is harder for them to understand what the instructions are. Kids also get worried when they forget their homework. I think you should be able to turn in homework a day early or a day late. Most importantly kids do not perform better by a lot when they do homework. I think kids should have no homework.
We should not have have homework the reason is because we get out of school so late and we could have to do things after we get out of school like cleaning,cooking or we could have to go somewhere. Like it says in source 2 "it can be stressful on students and young kids by cramming for to much work.This really is not that effective.
Kids shouldn't have homework. Kids have stuff to do like sports, spending time with family and working. Instead of doing 6 or so hours of homework every night. “homework came in behind not only socializing but also exercise or sports as well as working for pay.” (Gazette,par. 24) I agree because some students have to rush to get their homework done at lunch or before school because they either have sports or have to go to work everyday.
I believe, as a student, that homework is just a tool that teachers use to keep us busy. Being a student who has received homework for various years, I have found that homework causes me a lot of stress (Ethos). Homework causes kids to get very stressed out, it causes stress in their families, and studies show that it does not improve test scores. Harris Cooper, a worker at Duke University (Ethos), found out that, doing more than 60 to 90 minute of homework in middle school and more than 2 hours in high school is associated with much lower scores (Logos). This just shows that homework is a useless item that students are forced to do. Firstly, students have to wake up from seven until two o'clock everyday,
Have you ever wanted to just shred up your homework or throw it out the window and have no consequences? Kids are assigned daily homework from the time they start kindergarten at the ripe young age of five. Is it really necessary? Does it even help better learning or even higher test scores? The amount of homework we do wastes time, money, paper, and trees because it’s practically the exact same thing we did in class that day. Homework causes kid’s and teen’s frustration, tiredness, little time for other activities and possibly even a loss of interest in their education. It also keeps everyone up; it has kids and teens staying up until they finish it, the parents trying to help them and the teachers grading it. So, I think that homework is
Kids as of now go to school for eight hours and their brain tends to shut down, causing health complications. It’s not safe for children to inherit these health complications at an earlier age. They will not be able to accomplish the academic success that they intend to do. Homework is suppose to increase the learning capacity of the student and not disservice them
Shopping at the mall and hanging out with friends is much more important than doing homework. Why are students required to do homework anyway? It’s a waste of time so they should not be required to do homework. Homework is causing stress, which is resulting in students spending less quality time with their families as well as with their friends. It is also causing students to feel burned out and to not be engaged with school as they should be. Even though students need to learn how to manage their time more effectively, including budgeting time to complete homework assignments, they should not be required to do homework. Students should not be required to do homework because it stresses out students.
Homework should be banned from all schools across America. Homework stresses kids out and leaves them frustrated. It decreases the amount of time being spent with family. It lessens their time of being active. Homework is supposed to help kids, but most of the time it is hurting them. Less than 1% of students say that homework is not a stressor which leaves more than 99% of students being stressed out about their homework.
All schools in the United States should make homework optional. In today's education system every student is required to go to school from ages starting from 5 up until he/she is 17 or 18. We teach all of our students that there is no way around hard work and if you want to make a living you must do what your told, and that is going to school, getting good grades, and potentially going to college and finding a job. This is unquestionable, whether a student agrees with it or not this will never change, but this is not the disputed point.
After spending most of their time in school, students are expected to complete even more work, seems almost ridiculous. Homework is taking time away from students other activities. In the book, “The Case Against Homework,” by Sara Bennett and Nancy Kalish, they state how homework, “robs children of their sleep, play and exercise time need for proper physical, emotional, and neurological development.” Homework is no different than a towel placed in water. It soaks up the time from other activities A study done by the Brown Center found an
No homework ever again? That would be nice. But, perhaps it’s possible. There are many problems with homework that, if addressed, could persuade school boards to get rid of homework for good. Homework has a negative effect on middle school and high school students because it limits their free time, keeps them up at night, and discourages out of school activities.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get home, study a little, and just relax? Well most students have to deal with hours of homework when they get home from school. When I get home, I would rather do a little homework, relax, and spend time with my family. Not spend the rest of the day doing homework, when you already have 7 hours of school. I believe that giving homework is crucial to students who want to have a life outside of school.
Other reason is, parents can see what we are learning in school. In ''list of pros of homework'' it says, ''if students
Every night when a student gets home, they usually have piles of homework. “I’m never going to finish all of this homework for tomorrow!” the student complains. American students should have less homework on a daily basis because it can cause lots of stress and impacts on free time and sleep.
Kids should have less homework because that child has worked hard all day we need a break! the first reason why I think it should be less homework is because it is true that students are going to find ways of not doing their homework, but that is called cheating. There are now tools that allow students to cheat with consummate ease. There are even math completion tools that do the math for a student. This means that homework cannot be used to test the knowledge of a child.
