“Too Much Homework” sounds familiar don’t you think so. These are three words often used by kids. But kids don’t just say them so that they can get out of doing their homework.

Many schools around Colorado don’t understand that the more homework you give your students, the more stressed out they get. Plus, it hurts kids academically as well. Kids also don’t have all the time in the world to do their homework, because lots of parents (like mine) want to go do fun activities with their children; and since global worming has been going on, recycling is also very important and homework is a waste of paper.

In Canada I researched that they took surveys that would tell them if homework really does apply stress, and if it hurts young children’s self confidence. I personally think that it was a good call on their part, because many children have these problems.

Lots of kids tend to worry about when they will be able to have time to do their homework. If they aren’t able to turn in their homework on time and do it right, they might get the idea that their not good at anything; and that will cause their self confidence to go down the drain. But having more than four pages, affects kids of all ages and a lot of the time it gets worse as they get older. If they only had one or two or maybe not any homework at all; they might have higher self confidence and they won’t have to find an extra hour just to work on their homework, and they probably won’t be able to have any help from their parents. But with no homework the schools scores will most likely improve by the hundreds!

Kids need more freedom throughout their lives and they can’t have that privilege because their always working on a homework assignment.
In our school (West Grand Elementary School and Middle School) we start school at 8:00am and end school at 4:00pm. The middle schoolers have at least 5 pages of homework a day, and the girls have basketball practice right after school which is at 4:00pm until 6:00pm and sometimes all the way to 6:30pm. No one has any time to do their homework that’s one of the main reasons everybody dislikes their homework, including parents as well.

Many websites on the internet are trying to fight against making kids (like me and my friends) do homework. They know that kids get stressed out and that they don’t have enough time to do their homework.

All of these reasons that I stated are true, and I’ve spoken to many kids like me about this matter and they all agreed, so I hope that you will to.
