Have you ever enjoyed a day of relaxation? Have you ever experienced the thrill of having a day just to goof off? Has homework kept you away from that?
Homework keeps everyone awake because students do it, parents try to help and teachers have to grade it. Students spend hours doing homework no matter how difficult. We aren’t nocturnal and can’t stay up until 12:00, 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. Waking up is the worst part. We get up feeling wimpy and restless not even able to eat breakfast or take a bath even brush our teeth (disgusting). If we had no homework we could stay awake in class. Scientists say students would be sick 50% less often.
Teachers spend hours preparing lessons for class. Without having to grade homework teachers would have 30% more time to prepare for school.
Parents won’t have to worry about coming home and working with children on homework. Parents won’t have to worry at Parent-Teacher Conference about their child missing homeworks. Parents spend about 25% of their time at home helping their children with HOMEWORK. Most parents work 8-10 hours a day and 10% percent of parents wourk more than 10 hours a day. This means some parents can’t help their child with homework!
Think about how much homework you have done since Kindergarten. Kids need time off. Teachers give homework to keep us busy. There is too much homeowrk!
