Homework is not a waste of time!
Knowledge is the one thing that gets us what and where we need to get. The only way to develop our brains fully enough is to stay in school and do our work as your teacher says. A lot of people say that homework is just a way for punishments to be given or it's a big waste if time when you can be doing other things, are the people that will not have good jobs in the future. If you do want a good life, a job that pays off, and then a lot of money, you will have to us your smarts.
The reason for my opinion is that obviously, everyone in life wants money. You know you do. You can't get your way if you're well… stupid. You know you also want to be smart. Everyone does. But if you drop out of school and don't do what you have to do, then face it, you can't be smart like some other people who graduated. The best way to develop your brain and drill on what you need to know is homework. Also, since parents want the best for their kids they should have them do homework as they please. Then as they grow up they will know the knowledge they need to know in life.
Another reason is that if you were in a store or a certain situation where you needed to calculate something immediately, you couldn't really do that because you might've not learned how to do things quickly and shortly because you couldn't remember. Why didn't you remember?  You couldn't remember because you didn't do all your homework. Ms. Babb once told us she went to an auto shop to get her oil changed on her car. She explained to us that the mechanic was really good with his hands but when it came time for her to pay, the mechanic didn't know how to calculate the change. Yes it's a sad truth. This guy probably didn't remember math because he dropped out of school or maybe he didn't do the entire math he needed to do.
This also may not seem like much but language is probably the utmost important thing you should learn. Why you ask? This is because every signal, every word, every letter, and everything that I've said so far is linked to language. If you don't know all your words or a language fluently or properly consider this, you couldn't learn other things, do a lot of things, communicate effectively with someone, or pretty much live a life properly.
Our brain is a very complex thing. Consequentially it can't be that awesome thing in our head if it's not developed and utilized properly. Nevertheless people choose not to do what they need to life an efficient life. To put for people who wouldn't understand this means knowledge=good job, which =money, and that= good life. Of course to do this you need smartness. Some people say they can make it on their own, but truthfully you pretty much can't. So you should get cracking on your work, get your good grades, develop your brains, stay in school, and last but not least live your life to the fullest.

  1. Dear Nicholas,
    I think your essay was well developed in your intro you stated your belief or opinion preety darn clear i liked how you started "homework is the one thing that gets us what an where we want to go"i couldn't disagree any more.An upside down thing that i founf in your paragraph is that Einstein was smart enough and he didn't go to high school.

  2. Dear Nicholas,
    Between you and me I'm from the mirror world... so don't tell anyone. Moving on pretty good. You could've used more logical connectives, though. You played out in my head the different outcomes of situations where someone didn't remember how to do something because they didn't do their homework. You successfully used quotes and explained your opinion that homework is not a waste of time. There were some spelling mistakes such as in one paragraph you had put us instead of use. Overall though this was a great essay!
    Keep writing,

    PS: DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

  3. Hi Nick,your essay is great!I really like the strong words that you used and your supporting details in each of your body paragraphs. The two things that you should work on are your introduction when you mention your reasons,and when you clearly state your topic in the introduction. But overall,it's a really good essay!
