Should Students Get Less Homework

Should student get less homework?

Any students that attend school understand the struggle of homework.The subject i will be discussing is how students should have less homework from school. This issue i chose is relevant because in my school we have eight classes and homework from five of those classes and i think we should have less homework. The purpose why i chose to discuss this topic is because i'm hoping i could get through to principals, teachers, and the department of education. I am credible speaker because of how this issue affects me. This issue affects me because every day i walk a far distance to come home to do homework, and chores five days a week. While the other two days to have to read. I think students should have less homework because we come home to chores every day, we have seven hours of school five days a week and homework takes away fun activities with family and friends.

Most students in the everyday life have chores to do.

When coming home from school most children have chores such as dishes, vacuum, trash and cleaning one's room. According to Katie Mclaughlin in “pencils down:stop the homework insanity”, the text states, “at the beginning of each year, my neighbor sits down with the teacher and principal and explains that her daughter does not have time for, homework because she needs to play and do chores”. This evidence supports my reason that children in the everyday life have chores to do because this writer is trying to state the mother's child doesn't have time for homework because of chores, there are more important things to be done. Yet, the department of education still gives to much

homework.
The average child has seven hours of school per day. if the average child has seven hours of school day, then i think we should have less homework because we are in school for majority of the day. According to barbara Bean-megallingen from pros vs cons of extended school days, the text states, “Other countries whose students score higher than than u.s students actually have shorter school days than u.s schools currently have”. This evidence supports the reason that we have seven hours of school per day because schools in the us give a lot of homework the department of education thinks we don't spend enough time in school so this causes them to give extra homework. Even though we have seven hours of school i don't think we need more homework because other countries spend less time in school and do absolutely fine.

One may think that students should spend more time in school. Certainly, i can see why people might be concerned that they'll go home and forget what what they just learned ,however school is seven hours long and if teachers teach effectively students will not forget.Even though some may think we need more homework, i believe that we should have less homework because it takes away fun activities with friends and family. According to I DON'T KNOW YET , the text states , “ other researchers, such as Alfie Kohnana and timothy naughton, state that there is little or no benefit to giving homework and does not really lead to improved academic performance”. This evidence supports the reason that i think children should have less homework because homework doesn't improve students thinking skills. hence why i think we should have less homework.

In conclusion, children should not have a lot of homework.i think that children should should have less homework because u.s students have chores to do and spend seven hours in school and homework takes away fun activities. I think the department of education could compromise with children, teacher, and parents and give less homework on one day of the week so that students can a break.
