Homework, one of the many terrors in today’s childrens’ society. Pages and pages of work to occupy and waste children’s time. Repeating all the sheets of work done at school just to tire children out. Teachers think they are doing the best for children but simply things couldn’t be worse. Children stress about having so much homework that they haven’t finished. Children worry about the overload of work and they have a terrible sleep dreaming of the consequences that they will face.
Also children can do so many things during the hours of work. By the time they finish an assignment they could have probably finished a good workout and sport outside to keep their fitness level high and also have extra time to have a snack, relax, talk with friends and family or even do practice tests for an upcoming assignment which has not been taught yet. All these things are much more important than doing boring homework.
Even though this is not a main point, it is still important: paper is important and lots of paper is wasted on homework. The paper is important because we do not want to waste trees, do we? After all, every little save counts. So teachers all we ask you is,
is this what you want?
Homework is a nightmare that every child hates, so why do teachers force us to do it again and again? These are only a few reasons because the list goes on.
All we ask is a simple favour ... STOP THE HOMEWORK!
What do YOU think?? Submit your own exposition on why you think homework should stop and place your entry in to Billy Ijaz by the end of Week 6, Term 1, 2014. The best exposition will win their very own $5 voucher for the school canteen.
