Homework

I’m just gonna sit here and rant a little bit. So right now I’m sitting here on my couch writing this with 500 other thoughts tossing and turning in my head. I have math homework to do, a history map to fill out and notes to fill in. I have science vocab to make and memorize, I have a Spanish quiz Friday, a math test Thursday, A history test Friday, A paper due tomorrow, A revised paper due Thursday, two more blogs to do, and a short story to work on all in a matter of three days. I also have soccer practice tonight with the head recruiting coach from Mizzou attending to talk to some players. I’m running on like 4 hours of sleep and am super stressed. As students, we go to school for 7 hours, 5 days a week. And then after that whole dose of boredom and anxiety, we have to head home with 4 more hours of homework to complete. “You never spend time with us,” say, my parents. “well I would if I wasn’t swamped with hours of homework” is my reply. The teachers think that students are over dramatic about the amount of homework we are given but its no exaggeration when I say I’m up all night doing homework with barely any free time for me. If teachers have to rely on homework to see if we’re understanding the topics…then doesn’t that mean they’re not doing that great at teaching?? I think there should not be homework because it puts to much stress on teenagers which they already have enough of.
