Homework is a Waste of Time

I think homework is a waste of time. Students need to have enough time to be active, get enough sleep, and have enough free time. With a lot of homework, school, a social life, and things going on at home, clearly homework is just one more thing that causes students to stress.
After school most students like to relax at home instead of having to worry about their homework and so between relaxing, being with family, and homework, they won't have enough time to be active. After
doing the things that are needed after school it would probably be dark out and they would not be able to go outside. Being active is needed by students so that they can be healthy and function well in school. Since a student is busy most of the day it probably stressesthem out more that they have to be active too.
Some days we have a lot of homework so we might stay up late doing it. For some students their homework piles up on them and makes them stressed that they have to finish it all by the time it is due so they
stay up late to do it. This causes lack of sleep. If a student does not get the 10-11 hours of sleep, that is needed, they will not be able to function well in school. 10-11 hours of sleep is a necessity for students so they should be able to sleep properly without havingto worry about their homework.
About 7 hours of a student's day is spent at school. After those 7 hours a student is expected to spend time with their family, friends, study for tests and on top of these things they are also expected to finish their homework. These things may pile up on a student and cause him/her to worry about how much time they have. Without homework thestudents would have one less thing to worry about.
Therefore I think homework is a waste of time. With everything else that goes on in a student's life, homework may cause a student to feel negatively toward school. All parents want their children to be happy
at school, so is homework really a good thing for the students or does it just make them resentful?
Dear Kim,
ReplyDeleteVery well done. I like how you stated you're reasons clearly in each paragraph of why homework is a waste of time. I also liked how you used good vocabulary instead of dull ones and repeating them. I think you should improve your hook because it didn't grab my attention right when I read it. A rhetorical question or a quote would be nice. There was one spelling mistake, necessity. It isn't a real word, I believe, so you should look back to that. Other than that, very well done.
Dear Kim,
ReplyDeleteYour essay was astonishing. I love how you clearly stated your reasons and opinions and why you think homework is a waste of time. I like the use of facts you used in your essay to make it sound very interesting and make the reader want to read on. I like the mystery question that keeps the reading thinking at the end of your essay where you stated so is homework really a good thing for the students or does it just make them resentful? Something you should try improving on is re-reading over your essay because I saw quite a few spelling errors. Also, something else you might wanna try working on is just adding is some famous quotes to make your essay even better!
