homework... a lot of kids hate it
but i have a few questions to it especially towards teachers
-->
why homework? why give us homework? we already go to school for app. 8 hours a day and when we come home we'd like some downtime to spend with family, friends, boyfriends/girlfriends and well just you know to have a social life.
the average kid my age needs 8 hours of sleep
so add it up:
8 hours of sleep
8 hours of school
+ 5 hours of homework ((i took a survey from kids from different schools and this the averaged amount of hours it takes for kids to do their homework))
______________________
so now thats 21 hours down the drain
now we come to the eating breakfast, dinner, shower, and doing dishes
that takes about an hour all together
so now we're over to 22 hours
and that leaves us with 2 hours
2 hours to spend time with your family, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, do chores, get ready for the next day of school, relax, spend some time on the computer
and also alot of kids join sports and or have a pet so the sports takes about an hour
and walking a pet say 5 to 10 mins?
so what does that leave kids with? 50 minutes?
50 minutes to spend time with people you care about?
50 minutes to relax after a long day?
50 minutes to complete chores?
50 minutes to read a book?
50 minutes to play video games?
50 minutes to all the things i listed above is simply quite not enough
maybe for some kids but not for me
my parents are always gone on the weekends for business trips so i can only see them during the week and so 5 x 50= is about 250 minutes
so 6905 mins. on school days is how much i spend going to school, sleeping, and doing homework and chores, and sports, and taking care of my pet
250 minutes is how much i spend a week with my parents
DO NOT REALATE THIS QUESTION WITH THE FACT MY PARENTS ARE GONE ALMOST EVERY WEEKEND
i am talking about a daily thing why so much in just 5 days? and why so much homework? its not like we're gonna forget everything over night!
sorry this is so long but im trying to make a point especially towards teachers
why give us so much homework?
