Homework

By Jasmine

I think that homework is necessary just sometimes. Like if student already knows what the lecture that the teacher is talking about is about, then I don't think they need so much homework. But if they don't then they should get homework for practice and study.

If teachers want students to learn the lecture they should teach it to them instead of just waiting for them to learn by giving them a lot of homework. I don't think that teachers shouldn't give students bagfuls of homework that take 2 hours to finish unless if it is necessary. In language arts we don't get so much homework and some kids don't even do it. Mr. Heist then has to punish them and then they have to stay in at recess. All that Mr. Heist gives for homework is a page a day which is for spelling to help learn the spelling words for the test.

I don't think that students need homework on weekends because those are the only days off of school that we have to enjoy. Anyway we have all the week to do homework and then we sometimes still have to do it on our free time (the weekend!). But the only subject that we have homework on weekends is Math with Mrs. B., but her homework isn't really even that hard. Sometimes her homework is hard but that's only if you don't learn what she is talking about! If you don't do your homework in any class, you will have a bad grade and then you will be on the ineligible list, and you won't be able to go to any of your games. LLL
