Homework

By Coltan

In the past, here at my school, we have had homework almost every day for the four years I have been here. Now, that's just me. I am pretty sure that if you ask everyone else in high school, they will say longer. In some classes we do have homework every day. In some, we don't. Most of the time we don't have homework on Fridays though.

Now, personally I think it is a little too much to be giving homework every day. In our sixth grade math class we have homework every day besides Friday and usually it's pretty hard. I have heard from people that they need help with it almost every night. Now, I think that's a little much.

Now, think almost the same way I do. Parents that I know, including mine, say for math, that's a lot for kids in sixth grade. Not so much for spelling. But we kids think it is. Sometimes I don't finish my spelling till 5:00 and I get home at 3:30. Maybe that's a little much.

Some homework I can understand doing. In our spelling class it might be reasonable sometimes. Sometimes in spelling we have hard words. I can understand if the teacher wants to help us pass the test we have weekly. Some kids don't understand that concept.

Homework these days is getting harder because new ways to do things are becoming different. Some things that we are learning aren't. My final opinion is for the teachers. Maybe sometimes, slow down on the homework.
