should homework be banned?

Homework can be very stressful for students, but also spending to much time on homework can affect a student developmental need and other life skills. Some students don't even do there homework anyways because they have more stuff to do. It can alost affect a students mental health in many ways. It can cause a person to loose lack of sleep which can cause them to do worse on the test or in school. Homework is basicly just judging somone with a letter and people want that perfect A but some cant get that perfect A, but when they get that F they feel like they are doing something wrong and there parents or whoever is taking care of them gets mad and think tha taking there stuff away will help them get that grade up but it really dont.

  • I think homework should not be banned yes it takes longer than it should sometimes but if we didn't have homework then we would forget what we learned and then when we needed it in life we wouldn't know what it was or how to do it And I think homework helps with life and no I don't have the perfect A

  • I think that homework should be banned because it takes way to long to do every night and takes time that could be better spent doing something more important. I think that the schools should definetly drop some of the homework that is assigned so it would be less to do for students.

  • I don’t feel that homework should be totally banned, however I do feel that there should be at least one day when we don’t have homework or any test to study for. I do get mad if I don’t get the grade that I feel like I have to get an “A” on every assignment I do and test I take. I feel that homework is very stressful but important so kids can have a better understanding of what they are learning in class.

  • I think homework should be banned because it is useless and dumb. All homework does is make kids stressed and mad. And sometimes people do not know how to do the homework and then they get a bad grade for not turning it in because they didn't know how to do it.

  • I do not think that homework should be banned overall but it would be nice if it was optional becasue then students would have the freedom wheater to decide if they want to do it or not. I personallly do not like homework but I do understand that teachers have to assign some homework. 

  • I would prefer if homework was banned because it causes unnecessary stress and wastes a lot of extra time in a student's life outside of school. I think unless someone feels they need it then it should not be assinged. 

    • I agree with you because there are more important things outside of school than homework and trying to juggle homework and other stuff can cause a lot of stress, and if somone needs to study and practice before a test then they should have the option to do homework.

  • I don't think homework should be banned but I definitely think it should be decreased. I definitely feel the pressure to get A's which is sometimes very stressful. I get angry at myself even when I tried my best. Overall, I think homework can be beneficial for the subject, but teachers tend to give out too much at the same time. 

  • I think homework should be banned because we are already in school for eight hours a day five days a week. That gives us only a few hours after school to do other things and only two days for the weekend. Homework can become very time-consuming and it would be a lot better if we just used our time in school to finish the work that we have. 

  • I can see why people believe that homework should be banned but in some points the homework is needed sometimes. I think that in some situations we need homework because we need to make sure we have that understanding for certain concepts. I mostly have A's besides some subjects but most of those A's are made up from tests/quizzes/projects etc. In some spots homework is stressful for the simple fact that during semester tests week and different weeks there is a lot going on with different classes.
