Homework Essays Started in Class
Red Class
There is too much homework given to midddle school students. These students learned
just fine in elementary school without so much homework. Many students report that they only
had ten to forty minutes of homework in fifth grade. Now, to their dismay, many of them work
for up to two hours on some nights.
Many say the homework has no value. They just do it to keep the teacher off their back.

Even though homework is supposed to be helpful, it can get in the way and be annoying.
For one thing, when students have activities after school, they don’t have much time to do their
homework afterward. Parents often insist that their children complete their homework before
doing their activities, so kids tend to rush through homewrok to get to the things that they really
want to do. Other kids end up missing their activities because they are unable to get their
homework done. Many after school activities are more valuable to kids than some of the
homework that they are assigned.

I never like homework any time, but homework on the weekend is the worst. I guess it is
all right to have to do work on a long term project. Students can choose to d that on the weekend,
but teachers should not assign work on Friday that is due on Monday. Middle school students
hould not have homework that they must do on the weekend.
One reason students should not have homework on the weekend is that we have worked
hard all week long. We have a life. We should be able to live it on the weekend free from te
tortures inflicted by homework. We have things we want to do and we’ve put them off all week
because of homework. Many middle school kids need time to read, play sports, socialize with
their friends, and spend time with their family.

“I’ve too much homework and I want to go to bed.” too many middle school students end
up saying this every night. There are many reasons that midle school students are negatively
impacted by homework.
One of the biggest ways kids are hurt is that they don’t get enough rest when they stay up
late doing homework. Kids then have a hard time waking up in the morning after a late night
homework session.
