Imagine being able to go out at night with your friends and not worrying about being cooped up doing homework the next day. The school board is debating whether or not to give children homework because there have been a lot of complaints. Homework is a horrible idea because kids get stressed if they don’t understand the work, they have to keep up with their social life, and the teachers should be teaching them enough in class that they don’t need homework. If kids get homework they will become stressed and angry at themselves because they can’t understand the work. For example, in Math you got a double-sided worksheet for homework and you have no one to help you with it and you get so mad that you’re in a bad mood for the rest of the day. Also, it puts down your self-esteem, which makes you depressed. Lastly, if you’re stressed and angry because of homework you could take it out on someone else it could cause problems. Therefore, homework is a horrible idea because it could cause stress and anger. A social life is one of the main things in a teenager’s life and homework gets in the way of that. First of all, the school and it’s employees encourage the children to be socially active but by giving them homework it prevents them to do so. For example, if a friend is having a few friends over on a Friday or Saturday and she invites you but you have to decline because you have homework, which causes drama. Also, other kids will make fun of you if you can’t do something because of homework. Lastly, homework is a horrible idea because the children have to balance a social life. Also, homework is a horrible idea because teachers if the teachers to everything their supposed to in class, the children don’t need homework. Homework is only given to review, but aren’t the teachers supposed to teach and finish the lesson in class? If homework is given it could show a difficulty in teaching skills or just a problem in the classroom. Lastly, if a teacher does what he/she is supposed to there is no need for homework. Therefore, homework is a horrible idea because teachers are supposed to finish everything in class. As you can see, homework is a terrible idea because kids get stressed if they don’t understand the work, they need to keep up with their social life, and teachers should finish all their plans during class. Children get stressed and angry at themselves when they don’t understand the work which causes problems. With homework the children don’t get to have a social life, which should be the main part of a child’s life. Teachers shouldn’t have to give homework because they should finish everything in class. Therefore, homework is a horrific idea because kids will get angry at themselves if they don’t understand the homework, they wouldn’t be able to have a social life, and teachers shouldn’t need to give homework if they did everything correctly.
