Homework is very stressful, kids already spending 8 hours in school they do not wanna come and do 3 more hours of homework, in my opinion they get taught enough in school that homework do not serve the purpose is a waste of time.REPORT COMMENTS

Homework is stressful to students and just adds unnecessary work that they would be doing at school. It should be optional, as it does serve as a help for studying. But if one has a busy schedule, they shouldn't be required to complete their homework.REPORT COMMENTS

I feel homework is uneccasary and just adds more unessacary stress. What we should be focusing on is keeping children mentally healthy, rather then forcing them to do work that doesnt really matter. The only homework should be to study. Pages of mind numbing work that does nothing but make us continue what we already do for 8 hours a day does nothing but stress kids out, and make them waste hours and hours of time. How are we supposed to focus on tests, our physical health, our mental stability, our friends, fitting in, etc. Please, someone tell me how homework does anything but ruin grades when kids have no time/ motivation to finish it?REPORT COMMENTS

Homework, isnt right. we go to school for multiple hours, do alot of work, deal with bullies, after school we go home and do atleast have a hour (or more) of homework, then our school expects us to be healthy have a social life and fit in, people litterly fight their parents over homework, cry and sometimes get so nervous they dont go to school.REPORT COMMENTS

Children have enough school work stressing them, why burden them with more work? This time could be spent doing activities with friends/family.REPORT COMMENTS

The people complaining that they have to go to school 6-7 hours a day is really stupid, they're lucky they don't have to go to school 8 hours a day and get at least 8 assignments everyday.REPORT COMMENTS

Children go to school for 6-7 hours a day so what's the sense of doing homework for even more hours when you can be using that time to spend time with family or other things instead of doing homework.REPORT COMMENTS

Kid's do enough Work in school. Time at home should be spent on personal projects, physical activity and spending time with family. Homework is a main reason for stress in my family and our lives would be infinitely better without it.REPORT COMMENTS
