Students Should Not Get Homework

Have you ever had a tragic time when you start making exciting plans until, “Honey, remember to do your homework.” That's why we students shouldn't get any homework.

One of the big ideas why students should not get homework is because it doesn't help earth. One reason why homework doesn’t help earth is because homework is made of paper, and paper is made of trees. Trees are very important because, they give oxygen which fights global warming. Another reason why homework harms earth is because it can kill many animals, again because of global warming. Global warming is, when the globe gets warm, well global warming has the right name. I know what you’re thinking,¨Yay more summer.” But, this is not good because it can kill many animals and it can melt snow and ice which some animals live on and they need it to survive. Global warming can kill penguins, snow foxes, polar bears, etc. So homework is more than meets the eye.

Another big idea why students should not have homework is because we have no time to do it. When you really get home, it's 4:00 or 4:30 then you take a shower, eat, get dressed, and get ready for tomorrow. Then it's already 8:00 and it's time for bed. Another reason why you don't have time do to do homework is that you might have to go to an afterschool program which can last till 6:00. This happened to me before when I had ice skating class, which ended at 6:15. Then I do my big night routine. (eat, get dressed, etc.) and BOOM chaca locka locka it's already time to go to sleep...Sorry. The next day I come to school with no finished homework and then I get in big trouble. Well as you can see it was not the best experience. Sometimes I have to go out and eat, and bet this happens to you, but it is always takes too much time to get the food ready. You get back home and it's time to go to sleep.

The last big idea why we should not get any homework is because it’s very stressful. This can happen when you have no idea what on earth to do. This happened to me when my class had a new topic I just stared blankly at the piece of paper. Then I checked the time. It was already 4:15. I was staring at the paper for 15 whole minutes! I started to get angry. Then stressed. Well sometimes I also check a math question and then you get it wrong, you redo it, and check again, wrong again. You keep on getting it wrong over and over, and still get it wrong. This is the frustration and stress that homework can cause.

Homework harms the earth and causes stress. In addition, it is hard to fit it in your daily routine after school without causing more problems.  As you can see students should never get homework.
