It’s 6 am, Monday morning,I have to get ready for school with this alarm screaming in my ears. A big way on how to spot an 8th grader is by the size of their backpack. If it’s gigantic their probably an 8th grader,because going to your locker is a waste of valuable passing period time. I have been in school for nine years now and every year is new experiences, so far this year it has been very overwhelming with all the homework, projects, tests, etc.. But I have a feeling that i’m going to get used to it pretty fast. Three things teachers should know about us 8th graders is that most of us barely have any time for homework, people wake up early to go to school so we don’t focus that much in 1st hour, and finally most of us like to have a social life but they can’t because of homework. One thing you should know about 8th graders is that some of us barely have any time for homework. Like it’s currently football season, so it’s 3 out of 5 days of the week, and when all of us get home we get a total of maybe 45-60 minutes to do lie 3 classes worth of homework. But that’s just football there’s other extra curricular clubs that make you stay back after school. Plus some people go to sleep earlier than we do so they get even less time than others do. We also get to wake up very early every morning to go to school, some …show more content…
A lot of us know from personal experiences that if you keep making rainchecks on plans with friends for homework purposes , that they’re going to think you don’t want to hang out with them anymore. Plus a lot of us like to got to the football games on Friday nights. But us football players have a game in the morning so we can get some rest. So we have to stay home and finish our homework instead of hanging out with friends at the games. And a lot of us would rather be at the game with our friends rather than home
The first major step in healing America’s exhausted teenagers is to reduce the amount of homework they receive. Kids from the ages of fourteen to twenty-two alike are expected to play sports, join clubs, and hang out with friends – all on top of an average of three and a half hours of h...
The Waterloo Catholic District School Board, has only ever considered what they think we, the students, need. Never asking us what we want1 for our school and what we think is most needed. Clubs and teams at St. David’s are heavily underfunded. Many clubs or teams such as Arts Club and Team Dave2 deserve equal funding to the sports teams. Students on sports teams have never had to fundraise for trips or equipment whereas the arts department must save up their money for two years to put on a good show people will want to see. As well Team Dave must go out to companies and try to persuade them to sponsor the team. I know for a fact as a member of team Dave that we have to fundraise for the robot’s parts, the costs for travel to competitions, which includes food a housing arrangements, and competitions entry fees. Does this sounds fair to you? No it doesn’t! 3
Most important, we have homework every night and some kids forget to do a certain homework because we have a lot. It’s not hard to do but, we don’t feel like doing it every single night except Fridays. After we do our homework one night we come in to school with a whole bunch of answers wrong. Homework is a waste. It doesn’t make sense.
For an average middle school student, it takes around 90 minutes to complete homework every day. According to a study made by Harris Cooper, a professor at Duke University If kids have to complete more than an hour of homework a day and also have an extracurricular activity, then it can make them go to bed late and then the next day they would not be able to play their best in their activity. Homework is a bomb. Most schools encourage kids to be in extracurricular activities and most of them are after school for usually and hour or more and then put another hour of homework on top of that and eating dinner and doing chores that can take until 9 and studies show that kids around 9-12 should go to bed around 7:30-9:00 and if they are used to going to bed at 8 then they will be way too tired and will be too tired to play in their next extracurricular activity. Homework is a knife. Research shows that you should get at least 7 hours of sleep a night. So if you go to bed at 11:45 and take a few hours to go to sleep and end up at going to sleep at 2 and wake up at 7 then you 're only getting 5 hours of sleep a night because of homework and that is not enough sleep and can make you do terrible at your big game! That is why teachers should not be allowed to give homework after school, maybe they can give it over lunch or
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 your child has a long day of sports and they are tired and overwhelmed, but they still have homework that takes about two hours, it is just too much. Over the years, students have gone through needless misery and they have missed sport events just to do homework. Today, students still go through the same problem even if they are in first grade or a junior in highschool. Homework is the teachers top priority now a days. Teachers will punish you if you are too busy to do your homework even though you already have learned the same concept over and over again.
to allow students to get healthy sleep. More than 4 in 5 (82.3%) of U.S. middle, high, and combined public schools require students to attend class at times earlier than recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and American Medical Association.(Wake Up Calls) Our school is part of the 82.3% that start before 8:30 a.m and my opinion on it is that if we started school at 8:30 a.m. or even at 9:00 a.m. I would feel more rested and prepared for the day. I’m pretty sure a lot of other students would agree with
I should receive a passing grade in this class because I can write now. Not just an exaggeration, but after another semester of English I finally feel confident that can write. Three of the reasons behind my confidence is I learned, I experienced and best of all I repeated. These three values helped prepare me for what is in store in English 1302 and here is why.
Kids must have less homework because its effect the sports. One reason is When kids get home from sports and all they want to do is rest they can’t because they have to start their homework they have to start it otherwise it will be late. Another reason is Some kids have to stay home from their practices and games because they have too much homework and they have to finish They have to because if they don't get it done they won't
Do you like taking a mountain of homework home? Well if you do then get off of this, but if you don’t like taking a mountain of homework home then keep on reading. One reason why students should have less homework is because when they come home they have a lot of stress because they have a lot of homework when they come home. When they come home instead of spending time with their family they have to do their homework and different people have different speed rates of doing their homework. One last reason is that some children have after school activities so they might not even have enough time to do their homework because they had no time to do it.
Ring! The bell has rung letting you know school is finally over. You slowly trudge to your locker to get all the homework and textbooks you’ll need. Once again your teachers have piled you with lots of homework that you know will take you hours to do. Every single school day, hundreds of schools across the country assign homework every night. This leads to hours of work after school that many students just don’t want to do. Many parents and schools think homework is helpful. However, this may not be the case. Schools should not assign homework because students need time to relax, and too much homework may cause health problems.
Many balance extra-curriculars such as sports and music with a job, school, and social activities. There is just no way that squeezing in an extra class into their already busy schedule would be helpful. But, there is enough time. A homework class would only be acting as a substitute for the time spent at home doing homework! So instead of having set aside time for one's homework later on in the night, they will be given the opportunity to get it done in school.
Schools find homework beneficial to students, but the amounts of homework given needs a reduction. The schools have debated the use of homework, causing modifications to the system of homework. They have also looked back into times as early as the nineteenth century, to find old techniques that may help students in today’s world. Countless hours of research, has proven that the human mind cannot process amplitude amounts of information in so much time. Homework can lead to academic success, and it becomes crucial to a student’s life. Although, it causes students to become stressed and losing time to do other in school or out of school activities. In today’s times, teachers need to understand how times have change
The fact of going back to school means much for kids as they are excited of seeing again their friends, looking forward to have new experiences and it is also mean the resumption of homework which children have to do at home in the evening with great dismay for some of them, surrounded by their parents who try to help as much as they can. The pertinence of homework makes a general consensus even if kids don’t always agree with the way of giving them. After questioning some children under the age of 10, 3rd and 4th graders, I always obtain the same type of answer as the following: “It is quite demanding, it always is more difficult than what we did in class, it is not as easy
Imagine this. You have eight hours of school, you get out at 3:05pm, then let's say you do a sport or do some extracurricular activity and you don't get home till 6:00pm. This is just on a normal day. Some days you might have to do other things and go out even more before you get home. Even when you get home you still have other things to do at home besides homework.
