More than 70 percent of students have said that they have stress caused by homework almost always or often. You may not agree with me, but I think that is outrageous. Being a student, I know how homework feels, especially in middle and high school. Teachers may think we aren't getting much homework, but what they don't understand is that we most likely will get a new assignment everyday from every class we have and that is a lot to do in one night. I know
I have been stressed over homework to the point where i’m yelling at my parents because I don't get it just because I get so frustrated because there is too much or it's too hard and you don't have a teacher at home to help you. There are many reasons why we shouldn't have homework like, Children

People might say that kids do learn and yes, they do sometimes if they get their assignment back in time.
Families could start to have issues and start to be distant with each other because of homework. Because kids go to school really early in the morning and when they get home in the afternoon they have to get started on homework right away so they can only really talk to their parents when it's dinner time and then after that it's time to go to bed. People might say that this is not true and they can still talk whenever but I have this issue because I feel like I don’t talk to my mom that much, especially because she has a night job and she has to leave for work only like two hours after I get home.
Many students struggle with homework. Every child is different, some could get everything done in an hour, but with other students it could take them all night and they wouldn't get any sleep and then they would be tired the next day. Many struggle with homework and get really stressed out and that could cause mental issues. People could say that this is not true, but over 56% of students have said or have shown that homework is the cause of their
"I didn’t feel [stressed] until I was in my 30’s. It hurts my feelings that my daughter feels that way at eleven" (Ratnesar 313). This statement describes the intense issue facing the American Education System today. More and more students are spending a lot of out of school time on enormous amounts of homework. The overabundance of homework is putting pressure on the students, along with their parents. Our nation has steadily focused on after school studying to the point of possible exhaustion. In this paper, I will attempt to explain how educators are relying on homework as the major form of education, and how the amounts are too demanding on the students.
When you think about school one of the first things that pops into people’s mind is homework. Basically if you have asked your parents or your grandparents they would say that they remember the homework load. Now we all know that homework can be beneficial but also can be very unhealthy with all of the stress that it causes. Over the years the homework load has increased because of the fact that schools think that they need to try to keep up with other countries in academics. And will doing all of this homework now be all for nothing later? The homework load has increased these past couple of years and it is causing a lot of stress on kids and overall is not helping their academics in the long run.
As children are getting older, they will need to learn life skills, and homework is a great way to teach it. A site named, “Eduflow.wordpress.com”, states, “Homework
Most students even have so much work that they’ll stay up all night just to get it
School start times have changed in the past, and these changes have pushed back the school start to the day about an hour in order to accommodate our changing society. The history of the modern day start times, are fairly recent; the times that schools begin today is not the same as those in the 20th century. In the early 20th century, school’s started around 9 a.m. to accommodate for the many children that helped with family business...
One of the reasons homework should be banned is because of the unnecessary stress and strain it creates for students. Many students are left pulling their hair out at homework time. Students struggle with homework for different reasons. Some of which are because they do not understand the assigned homework, or they are not being challenged, and quite possibly because they have hit their daily threshold for learning and have no more to give. Furthermore, students who struggle academically will likely require extra assistance to do their homework. Students are therefore tasked with finding a qualified person to assist them with homework. Students are not only under the stress of homework, but now they are under additional stress to find a qualified person that can assist them. Unfortunately, some students may not be able to obtain the help they need with their homework. Consequently and to no fault of their own their grades may be affected inaccurat...
Homework sounded like a brilliant idea to the person who created it. They only focused on the good things that it would achieve such as the development of self-discipline and good work habits. They did not think of the harm it could bring to students. According to this source, it has been found that homework disrupts family life. “Homework forces parents to put their own agendas on hold as they help their children complete the unfinished work of the school day,” (Kralovec). While it can also help families bond it is more likely to isolate the student from their family and social life. Homework has become too much of a part of school than it should be. Homework should not be weighted as heavily as it is. Students should not be able to fail their classes for not completing homework or simply doing it wrong. Students who drop out of high school have many different reasons for doing so. Big reasons are things like broken families or heavy responsibilities other than school, but other than those reasons many students say “an inability to complete homework as a contributing factor to their failure in school,”
Homework, it’s a waste of time, money, paper and trees. Some people don’t even do the homework or they just copy it off of others the day it’s due so, they didn’t really learn much at all. In addition, if we didn’t do the homework, we may have had a doctor’s appointment or something important we had to do.
when to do their homework or even in some cases when to go to bed.
Harris Cooper, a researcher on homework from Duke University, claims that too much homework causes stress. In this I paper will talk about the damaging effects homework has on a child, how homework causes students to dropout of school, and some ideas for an alternative to homework.
Are the teaching methods used in schools today outdated? Students spend 6-7 hours every day of the week sitting in a chair while knowledge is “drilled” into their brains; students are then expected to complete hours of homework. A student should be assigned no more than 10 minutes per grade level according to NEA guidelines. The NEA is the National Education Association. Over time the homework loads sent home to students has increased. The amount of homework given to students should be lessened because it causes stress, shares no correlation with improvement, and takes away time from well deserved leisure time.
Just imagine how long other kids take to do their chores! For example, on “MathPrepa” it says, “Something that they could do in thirty minutes if fully rested and energized will drag on for four hours if they’re restless and can’t focus because they left seven hours of school to directly jump into three hours of homework!” What I’m trying to explain using this fact is that kids are tired from school and homework, then they have to do even more work, chores. To add on, I
“Homework is dumb. Homework takes too much time. What’s the point of all of this homework?” This is the thought of many students today whenever it comes to doing homework. Many of them complain that they have jobs that may interfere with homework. Some of them use sports as a reason to get out of doing their homework, but several teachers offer time in class, and early morning tutoring for those students who are struggling or may not have time to do assignments away from school. Although many students feel it is unnecessary and a waste of time, homework can be very beneficial to these students whenever it comes to review or test taking times.
no reason to get up early so they can stay out late and sleep late in the
In today’s world, education is more important than ever, and with education comes homework. However, many teachers give too much homework, which makes students extremely stressed. In addition, some are into sports or after school activities, and some have part time jobs they have to work at, which adds additional stress to the already overworked students. Mounds of homework can cause students to be under so much stress that it affects them mentally, physically, and emotionally. Stress can make students sick with colds, stomach aches, high blood pressure, sleep disorders, and/or anxiety disorders (Menninger and Dugan).
