Why Do Kids Do Homework?

Studies show homework barely makes a difference. Kids claim homework is useless to them, and they might be right. Homework can be hard for kids and when they have trouble then it is harder for them to understand what the instructions are. Kids also get worried when they forget their homework. I think you should be able to turn in homework a day early or a day late. Most importantly kids do not perform better by a lot when they do homework. I think kids should have no homework.

Kids shouldn't have homework. Kids have stuff to do like sports, spending time with family and working. Instead of doing 6 or so hours of homework every night. “homework came in behind not only socializing but also exercise or sports as well as working for pay.” (Gazette,par. 24) I agree because some students have to rush to get their homework done at lunch or before school because they either have sports or have to go to work everyday.

I believe, as a student, that homework is just a tool that teachers use to keep us busy. Being a student who has received homework for various years, I have found that homework causes me a lot of stress (Ethos). Homework causes kids to get very stressed out, it causes stress in their families, and studies show that it does not improve test scores. Harris Cooper, a worker at Duke University (Ethos), found out that, doing more than 60 to 90 minute of homework in middle school and more than 2 hours in high school is associated with much lower scores (Logos). This just shows that homework is a useless item that students are forced to do. Firstly, students have to wake up from seven until two o'clock everyday,

Why do children not do as well in school as they should? Today I would like to discuss what I believe to be the culprit, homework. Here are three reasons why I think homework should be optional, my first reason is homework can make you lower your grade if you just forget about turning it in making a 100 A+ grade to a grade of a 90 A, that’s crazy right? According to a vote published on Debate.org, 78% of people think that homework should be optional, only 22% disagree. A majority like that may surprise you. The third and final reason is that the student might have a lot of chores to do and complete all of their chores, but while they were doing their chores, they forgot their homework. Then their grade goes down, or students do their homework

What would you rather do, your homework or play your favorite sport? Some people may have to play sports as soon as they get home. People without homework have more freetime. While people with homework have to do a bunch of work.We should not have homework; homework is not beneficial to students’ mental health. Homework is mainly just busy work, and homework has a negative effect on home life.

Schools in America shouldn’t have homework. It has been proven to not help with test scores or school work, but what it does help with, is lowering students’ health. I believe that schools should assign little or no homework, It does little to help and more to hurt the students. For instance, most students don’t have computers and are financially unable to get one. This is unfair and can cause the student to be behind on their schoolwork. Another reason is that students are so loaded with schoolwork and other family/friend activities that they don’t have enough time to do what they really need to. Lastly, the Finnish school system has shorter school days, more recess, and starts at the age of 7. Yet, it has been proven that they get one of the highest test scores internationally.

Finally, I’m home from prison I finally get to hang out with my friends and not speak or learn about school until tomorrow, oh wait I have homework to do well I guess I am going to need to speak and learn about school. I believe that SCHOOL SHOULD HAVE NO HOMEWORK. Homework stops students from getting exercise, homework gives stress to students, Lastly homework prevents students from spending time with their family. This is why I believe that SCHOOL SHOULD HAVE NO HOMEWORK.

Most of the homework adolescents tend to receive from their teachers is busy work, and children and family agree this is not fair to them. This issue is affecting adolescents, parents, and families. When students are overloaded with responsibilities from schoolwork, their participation in extracurricular and social activities decreases. An argument over homework might seem trivial, but there are many negative effects on children who are attending school and go through this pressure.

PCMS students should not get homework. All school kids do not have a parent at their house to help them finish the assignment because the parent has to take care of the baby. Sixty five percent through seventy five percent of many school students qualify for free lunch which means kids do not have a lot of parents to help with homework. Kids do not finish homework at home. Because kids have no time after they get off the bus. What if they have to go food shopping. Then they can't finish the work. While some would say to not get your homework done. I say that kids do not finish their homework.

Do you ever have homework and have to work after school or get home late and your tired and just go to bed and never finish it? This is why we shouldn't have homework. You are tired and exhausted sometimes. You may have other things to do at home. You sometimes are so exhausted and don't feel like doing anything. I have three reasons on why we shouldn't have homework. I think you should read them if this describes you.

There is so much homework in the world. Why? During the beginning of the 20th century, the mind was viewed as a muscle that could be strengthened through mental exercise. Homework was viewed favorable, because kids could exercise their brains at home. It has been argued that schools should still have homework.

Shouldn't kids work on homework like these days instead of spending time with their family? Kids should be able to spend more time with their friends and family. I think this because homework is very hard and challenging. Homework can give headaches and also stress. My opinion is that homework should not be something to do at home.

I think that kids should get time to work on homework in class . It would help kids understand the assignments if they need help. If kids have after school activities they may not have time to complete their homework. Kids would also get more work completed as they would have a better understanding of the homework.

First of all,if students get homework then they going to stress out about it.This will lead to a big problem because then students will not enjoy their time back from school because they have homework.Students can not also enjoy their time with their family.Also students are wasting time on homework because after school is suppose to be a free time for students not a work time.This will affect the family because after a hard working day at school it suppose to be a family time where they can watch tv together

Most kids want to ban homework but they do not know the consequences of not having homework. Homework can help kids be more responsible with due dates. When a student grows up they should know that there is trouble if they do not finish something by its due date. When a student gets a job they should know that there is a time limit to finish an assignment. Plus, if we ban homework there is more time to do boring chores. Personally I think it is easier to do a small assignment than to do the dishes or fold the laundry. Another con is without homework is when kids finish the hour they will forget what they learned. If students don’t remember what they did, they would not do good on tests or quizzes. These are some of the reasons I think homework
