    Homework started off as a punishment by a french proffesor, why did we make this normal?! Kids have a long day at school, only to have more work when we get home. The whole school year kids are stressing, there only hope is summer BREAK, but sadly many of those kids get homework during summer BREAK. We are supposed to have a BREAK but we aren't getting it.

    Let's get this going around and get more signatures. It is crazy the amount of homework and projects kids get these days. Kids and parents are at school and work all day and then have to come home to 2-3 hours of homework each night. It's crazy!! I don't think it is beneficial to kids or the family as a whole.

    Finland has no homework, (well, way less of it) and they have the highest educational stats in the world. Let kids be kids. Homework is a violation of the free time everyone deserves after 7 and a half hours of school.

    What gives schools the right to appropriate a child's time once they go home?

    homework is used by teachers for self learning which is difficult for many children because they don't have the environment, help, or tools that a learning environment provides. Also homework adds work to do during the students home life which can cause many cases of depression.

    Takes away from quality family time, full time work as a parent limits parents to homework time with little ones.

    Homework is terrible. I am a proud father of 4 and my children are depressed due to the masses of homework they are returning from school with.

    So i was absent the last two days before spring break because i was sick and i have constantly worked from 3:30 to 11:00 at night trying to get caught up on just homework... that gives no time for other things that i have to do, daily responsibilities... not only that but i have to get up at 5 in the morning to go to school, that is only 6 hours of sleep... i can't function at school, because of school. This is ridiculous, i understand the concept and purpose of homework, but there shouldn't be so much that it causes stress in the students life. FACT: Homework was by Roberto Nevilis, he used it to punish his students that misbehaved in class... So answer me this, why are we being punished for nothing?
