Did you know, homework was viewed as a sin during the Progressive Era because it deprived children from their play time? Today, society is expressing similar concerns. Homework seldom improves academic performance. Sure, through homework one can get high scores in a standardized test, but in my own point of view using standardized tests as indicators of how well a student understands a lesson can be inaccurate. Students tend to memorize and not understand the lesson in means of studying for a test.…

Free-Write I hate Monday. As I start my car, I hear the whining of the poorly maintained belt begin to sing to me, to make sure I am awake. As pull out of the narrow driveway, I begin to light the first cigarette of the day. That first inhale hits me like the first bite of a pizza,when you have been hungry for hours.…
The biggest known reasons for homework is false. Homework only improves grades on tests or quizes in the last 3 years of school 10,11,12. Also the argument that it educates responsibility is a false argument, if a student is struggling with a subject or a part of class, they should go discuss to the teacher and inquire for special help if they need it. It is not their responsibility for being forced into practicing things they are bad at to get better, if you want true improvement go after it yourself not expect others to do it for you. Also, studies show that only 5% of students actually get enough sleep because of over assigned homework and stress about homework.…
To support this according to John Bishop “Homework teaches students how to problem solve.” To support this for example if you are stuck on a problem you have to look around think or ask questions to solve the problem. Many kids get better at homework just doing it daily, If you do homework you will get stronger at that subject and if you get strong at all of your subjects you will improve. Once you get better at your subjects your going to have to hold it through high school or middle school, When kids do that they can go to college to achieve their dream. Once kids achieve their dreams they will become young responsible adults that will make money and have life skills and make it far in life and have money to live.…
It is an axiom that the majority of high school students dislike high school. In fact, as a high school student myself, the words “I hate school” coming from students are an everyday occurrence. But what has led these students to think this way? Could it be the fact that they wake up too early? Or the fact that they are assigned too much homework?…
Many people share the belief that homework will and will not hurt a student’s education. I personally believe that homework should not be banned and that it won’t hurt a student’s education. Students should get homework so they will remember what they learned that day. Some people say that they think homework should be banned just because kids spend several hours at night finishing up their homework. Come on, if kids don’t do homework they can start to fail because they didn’t remember what they learned.…
MagnetMom complains about how her daughter’s homework takes away her beneficial sleep. With busy families, like hers, they have many after school activities, so when they get home, they do not have time for too much homework. She says that the reality of it is that they are an active family. For active families, homework causes sleep deprivation and takes away the children’s energy they need for the next day. (“How Homework Affects Families”, pg. 1).…
Time that can be better spent is with family and having fun participating in extracurricular activities. Eliminating homework allows students the reward of free time and the invaluable time spent with family. Homework creates unnecessary stress and strain for parents and students alike. Also, homework allows teachers to pawn off their own teaching responsibilities to students and parents with hours of homework. Homework is not beneficial and it should be banned for students Kindergarten thru 8th…
Students have said that homework causes them to sleep less, have headaches and lead to stomach problems (Strauss 2). At such a young age, children and teens should not have to battle these terrible symptoms in their life. Sometimes the students have no idea how to do their homework, no matter how much they try and study their notes from class. Which results in them staying up late at night until the morning. Staying up to do homework is an unhealthy habit (Giles 1).…
Their argument are respectable, however, they are also weak and unconvincing. One of the arguments they make is that homework assignments are causing students to stress which is linked to obesity, migraine, headaches, and depression. Well, homework shouldn’t cause a student to stress; because students have a lot of time to think about it and do it. Another thing is that testes, exams, and quizzes also make students stress does that mean we should get rid of them all? I mean homework is not meant to make students stress out, it’s meant to help them get a better understanding of the subject by practicing.…

History of the Problem Over the years homework continues to be a major controversial issue throughout schools. Homework impacts students both in positive and negative ways. Being bombarded with hours of homework takes away most of the time students need to live a healthy teenage life.

It definitely is negatively impacting high schoolers, causing them to be more stressed out then they already are.…
