Homework Should Be Banned.

HOMEWORK IS TAKING OVER OUR DAILY LIVES

Homework is taking over our daily lives.Who would want to be stuck in their room all afternoon doing homework when it will just make you stressed and you could be missing out on valuable time with your family?

Firstly, when you are stuck in your room doing homework you could be missing out on very important valuable family time. Family time is very important because you create a bigger bond. If you are doing homework all day everyday it will just cause frustration with each other. Also we haven’t seen our family all 6 hours of school and we want to tell them what we have done.

Secondly, we spend 6 hours at school concentrating our brains on what we are learning. who would want to go home and carry on with learning when we would rather be relaxing our brains from the agonizing school day? People would rather relax their brains by lying down or playing after school sport.

Thirdly, we already have commitments with sport or after school activities so we don’t have enough time for homework. Some people may say that you need to be accountable so you can do your homework as well as sport, but you’re already being accountable by committing to your sport that you play.

Who would want to be stuck in their room doing homework when it will just make you stressed. You could also be missing out on valuable family time and we would rather be relaxing.
