Schools should not give homework to kids who just went to school for an average
school day lasting approximately 6-8 hours a day five days a week. It is very stressful
on me and sometimes people can’t even do it because of how busy they are but it won’t
matter because it is due with no excuses. It has also been proven by Stanford
University that high school students that exceed over two hours of homework a night
were more likely to show bad health and bad stress related systems. So why should we
have homework?
academically beneficial most of the time. The reason why is because it just takes up the
time you could be studying for more important grades like tests and quizzes. According
to TIMSS, on one of their surveys they state, “...fourth grader students in countries that
set below average levels of homework were more academically successful in math and
science than those in countries that set above average levels. In Japan, ranked second
in the results table, only three percent of students reported a particularly heavy
workload of over three hours a night while a staggering 20 percent of Dutch students,
whatsoever.” This shows that people who have little to no homework do significantly
better than those who have a workload of homework to do. That is why homework isn’t
The second reason why homework isn’t necessary is because it is a problem for
kids mental and physical health. Excessive amounts of homework can cause a lack of
sleep, headaches, weight loss, and fatigue. Homework is also known to cause anxiety
Healthline,”Less than 1% of the students said homework was not a stressor.” This
shows that almost 99% of students are or were stressed out from homework in the
world. That is another reason why homework is irrelevant to any student anywhere.
Even though homework has its bad sides there are some benefits. A reason why
I think homework is good is because it is a grade booster. That way if you do terrible on
a test or quiz, you can make up for it with all the homework assignments you get a
week. It will also boost your GPA with the better grade you get with all the homework
assignments. Homework can also build your responsibility up as well because you are
expected to finish it before the due date which you could choose to do it last minute, at
a good time, or not at all. There are a good amount of pros about homework, but the
The third and final reason why homework is absolutely unnecessary is because it
is simply a waste of time. Homework keeps you inside and being inside all the time
lowers your vitamin D which could be potentially dangerous. And instead of wasting
your time doing all that homework you could be studying for bigger grades such as tests
and quizzes or spending time out in the world. The possibilities are endless for what you
could being doing instead of hours of homework. And one of the main causes of stress
on average 6-8 hours, five days a week. Even though there's benefits to homework, the
problems with homework outweigh the benefits by a mile. I believe that homework
should be either minimized or eliminated all at once. There should be no reason for it
because all it starts are problems, stress and anxiety. Homework is a fault in our
society.
