If you are in high school and have homework, then you KNOW how much homework sucks. I think it should be banned [or at least not give as much] First of all, the amount of homework some schools give is ridicoulous, The average student gets AT LEAST 3 hours of homework a night [not counting studying] So, if a student has after school activities [sports, drama, spanish etc.] which might last about 1-2 hours, has 3 hours of homework, AND has to study for that super hard science test tomorrow morning, they won't get enough sleep, free time, and social time which means they will be tired in class, won't want to pay attention, be stressed out and might even bomb that science test.
But it doesn't end there, Studies show that homework DOES NOT improve grades and might even lower them. Other studies show that teenagers need about 8 hours of sleep. If teachers give too much homework, they will make students stay up late, They have to get up early for school [see my upcoming post about schools starting too early] they are tired in class, they get in trouble for falling asleep, they come home again with more homework, stay up late again, and the cycle keeps repeating.
So, to anyone out there who is for homework I hope this made you think about it a little, Thanks for reading
