NO HOMEWORK!

Have students ever planned a fun activity with their friends/family and it

gets ruined by homework? Did they wish teachers didn’t give them

homework all the time? When students have homework, do they tend to

get stressed out? Since all these questions are true, I say, “there should

not be any more homework!”

First, teachers will not have to grade all those tests, assignments,

projects, etc. Not just students get stressed out by so much homework

but teachers too. For example, teachers get stressed by having an entire

skyscraper of essays to grade in 1 day! How hard and stressful does that

sound to those poor teachers? We need to help the teachers by not

having any more homework.

Another reason, not to have any homework is students can hang

out with friends and spend time with family. Students would hang out

with friends because sometimes they don’t go to the same school or

different grade level. However, when they both have so much

homework, they can’t hang out with each other. The teachers take it

away and don’t care about them being friends! Next, if one friend is

doing homework, and the other student doesn’t, the student who doesn’t

have any homework can spend time with his/her family. A chance the

parents can spend time with their child. However, if the children have so

much homework, then the parents can’t spend time, all because

homework broke apart the family.

Finally, students already learned the concept. The students don’t

want to do the same math problem, social studies question, or science

project that they already mastered the lesson in the entire 40 minutes.

Think of the children in this horrible tragedy! The students just sit there

and be bored because they learned the lesson previously in the year or

other school years. I’m positive if you were one of the students who

barely survived this depressing moment, you would do something about

it. Forty minutes might not seem such a long time but two 40 minutes is

80 minutes; that’s more than an hour! An hour feels like a month to the

students!

Hope you think about this tragedy for the students/children and

the teachers who are in charge of the classroom and their responsibility

at all times. Also, you’ll be called the favorite teacher in seconds. The

students will love you if you just throw away homework FOREVER!

The students will promise they’ll pay attention more in class if you do.

Furthermore, you’ll be so touched when you see those happy faces right

in front of you all because you are the only teacher who gives no more

homework. Do the right thing and make homework, projects, tests

EXTINCT!
