    Slavery was banned by the 13th amendment. Homework is forced against our will, thus this is slavery. That has been violating our rights for almost 143 years. People need to also know that their kid's mental health is more important than their grades

    There have been days when even though I start my homework right after school ends, I would still be working up until 2:30 AM or even 4:00 AM. I have lost too much sleep and nutrition struggling to complete my homework which in no way helps my education AT ALL.

    With sports and a social life to keep up with, I barely get around to getting my homework done before at LEAST 12am-1. Adolescents are supposed to get at least 10 hours of sleep for a healthy, normal developmental brain. With homework, and early morning starts requiring them to get up at 5-6am every morning, most are VERY sleep deprived. Students aren't learning anymore. I personally would rather have an extra hour of school than homework. I would rather have an extra year of school than homework. School is too stressful than it needs to be and it is causing downpour on ALL of our health.

    Homework has ruined my time to spend with my children also has caused unimaginable stress on my 2 boys. My kids play sports and it's almost impossible to get homework done and get to our games/practices. We should be able to just be parents our role is to be a parent not a teacher! This needs to stop now! Everyday after school is a battle it's so sad, it shouldn't be like this.

    We get on the bus at 6, go to school untill 3, and get home around 4. Thats 10 hours. Multiplied by 5, thats fifty hours a week. Plus about 10 hours of homework every week. Thats a 60 hour total. The work week limit for adults is 40 hours

    My 6 year is already starting to dislike school because of the long days, work load, centers, and short recess, or on cold days none at all. Then he comes home to do worksheets and journal assignments every night. It becomes a power struggle and puts such a strain on out relationship. More family time...less worksheets!

    I have about 10 things for homework each night and I am in 6th grade. What ever happened to homework? If anything you should at least put a limit on the amount. Thanks for your consideration, Riley Letendre

    Homework has ruined my life at home. I am not exaggerating at all. My brain hurts from doing homework so much that every time I do it, I get a migraine. School can go screw it's self.
