Too Much Homework?

By Abby

This question seems to be a very common problem at this school. Parents complain about too much homework and then the teachers argue back, it's getting kind of old now. It all seems to have caused a lot of trouble this year.

My opinion of this problem is that I do agree that once and a while one or two of the teachers gives us a lot of homework. At points though they don't give us a lot of homework and that is nice. It's hard for us to know whether or not they are giving us the right amount of homework because we're just kids. For some kids it's harder to get it done, just because maybe they don't get it. For me personally it usually isn't a problem to get my homework finished.

Some of the kids at our school probably like a lot of homework. While other kids absolutely hate it. Everyone here has their own opinion though which is good and bad. It's good because the teachers say that all the homework is necessary, while the parents and most of the kids think that it is not. We, the kids, have to do what the teachers say in order to get a good grade, so pretty much whether you like it or not we're going to have to do it.

Once you think about it you realize that teachers are there to give us a lot of homework, and parents are there to complain about it. I believe that this is the first year so many parents were complaining just from one class. It is all an ongoing thing though in this world. I'm sure that at many other schools every year they have problems with homework and parents complaining. This is very hard on the teachers too, so we have still have to think about them when the parents come in and yell at them.

In conclusion, my final opinion is that teachers do give us a lot of homework once and a good while, but they often give us too much homework. Giving us so much homework will make us not want to do it, and then when we try and it's so much and we might not get it, we just stop. Then it's so much to catch up on and it's hard. So I think that they should just not give us so much homework or no homework at all.
