Concluding Statements for an Argument
Less Homework, Please!
Carley Mims
Students today are overwhelmed. Stress comes at students from many different directions: extra-curricular activities, sports, family expectations, jobs, and--of course--homework. Studies have shown that current students have more homework per week than students ever have before. Some classes may require homework--for example, reading assignments in an English or history class, computation and calculation practice in math, and making or doing projects for science. But surely we have reached a point at which the homework pendulum has swung too far and to an extreme that is unhealthy and even harmful to students. Teachers assign homework as if their classes were the only ones that existed.
