Students are at school for seven hours of their day. If the teachers are doing their job students should not need homework. They should use the time at home to learn life skills that are not taught at school. -

I spend over 7 house straight just doing homework after coming home from 6 hours of school. I am sleep deprived and have way too much stress for my age. This is completely ridiculous for a high school student to go through. I happen to love school so I'm not just saying this because I don't like it. The schools should lessen homework. It's completely insane how long we have to work (13 hours) for me every night. That is longer than most adults work at their jobs.REPORT COMMENTS

Why Homework Is Bad Are you a kid who hates homework!? Well I am one! Did you know that homework leads to bad grades and overwhelmed cranky kids? It can also lead to stressed out children that can throw fits. Also, homework gives less time for a kid to be a kid. There should be no homework for all children. No homework is even good for teachers because they don?t need to correct it because they already have enough to correct In some schools children can get homework as early as kindergarten, or by the third grade. Homework has been annoying many children by the fourth grade. At elementary school, especially, this is a bad idea because many young students are known for having very short attention spans. They have already been forced to sit and learn for approximately 6 1/2 hours at school, with usually only 2 short recess breaks and lunch and they are also very known to like to talk and chat a lot. By the time school is out, the kids just want to go home, relax, and be who they are ! It also affects families because Homework trouble = school trouble = family trouble. It is the rare for a child to enjoy homework F.Y.I. .For some students they can be stressed out when they get home and throw fits and for all students they have been exercising their brains at school all day long and at home they are supposed to relax their brain for the next day at school, and if you are not remembering good blame it on the teacher for putting the subject at the wrong time when the students are tired (after recess etc.) or the teacher is not explaining it good. Some teachers do not answer a students question which would of helped the student to learn better and teachers always used to say to me ?Learning is fun!? well I think now math and school now is a lot harder than in the 70?s and 80?s and put for an example a 10 year old in fifth grade with 6 1/2 hours of school and 45-50 minutes of homework and remember 2013 math is A LOT harder than 80?s and 70?s math so do you think you would be having fun? and I also want to state that homework causes cases of kids hating school (like me). So that concludes the end of my persuasive essay top three reasons homework is bad: overwhelming, interference and dislike. One country named Finland has already fixed their school system there is no homework there is recess for 75 minutes, 9-17 students per class and no tests until you are 16 years old.REPORT COMMENTS

just because this guy cant spell sign right doesn't mean he should be buried in homework because of it. maybe the teachers need to make better use of the 8 hours given for teaching. I go home to do more work instead of sleeping and maintaining a healthy diet. school needs to stop invading my home. a old teacher of mine would assign work to be done in class and if it was not finished it must be completed before the next school day(other words at home). the teacher had no problem helping anyone with the work, and fulfilled his duty as a teacher. the students who completed the work went home free to do as they pleased while the students who wanted to use school time for recreational purposes needed to do the work at home. In my mind that is great compensation.REPORT COMMENTS

Kids should not have homework since it causes lack of learning which may lead to cheating.REPORT COMMENTS

It's the reason I have bad grades. I do fine in school but outside of it, I just want to leave school behind and pick up where I left off the next day. Less homework or none at all would be just, amazing.REPORT COMMENTS

This isn't just because I disfavor homework, it doesn't help us learn in anyway. We have to slave at school for 7-8 hours a day and then they expect us to be able to complete a lot of homework in time for you to be able to get a good night sleep, it's not helping us learn, it's torture.REPORT COMMENTS

I hope we have the sense to follow suit with the president of France's proposal to ban homework. Personally, I haven't gained much from homework, actually it hurts me more than it helps me. My best grades are in my classes that give minimal homework.REPORT COMMENTS
