Does Homework Help You Learn? By Tristan Sanschagrin

        Homework: a way to help people learn more of something they already learn that day at school. But does it really help? I think homework should not be given since when you arrive home from school your most likely tired and over flood with the things you've learned that day. The site factualfacts.com shows that we endure 7 hour of work at school including the time spend travelling and plus 3 hours at night, at that time your brain is tired of all the things you learn, It's boring and it may create stress.

      At night, when a lets say 12 years old kid arrives at his home he is tired and over flood with work, but then he finds out that he has Math and English homework and doesn't feel like doing it. Researchers shows that homework can bring lower grades because we a evaluated on our homework and kids tend not to do it when their tired. Further more, we are evaluated by teachers all day long in class and out of school we are told that we could do whatever we want when were out,but lets say we finish school at 3, we take the bus for 30-60 minutes we arrive home it's 4pm then we are told to do our homework that most likely will take our time until 7pm. Then we have to shower and help doing some task at home,then we need to go sleep to have a good day of work when we worked all night.

     I'll take an example on my personal life,presently I am in grade nine and in math we are working on algebraic notations. We have about 6 course of math on a cycle of 10. If we work for about 70 minutes at school on math then we are told to do 4 pages of work when we lets say completed 5 in 70 minutes the estimated time worked on math that day is about one hour and ten minutes. Now i'm not complaining about the time spend on math each course but when i arrive home to work another hour on math it gets boring since its almost as if I had two course of math per day. Let's be clear together, i'm pretty sure math isn't your favorite subject either.

      In most classes their are always students that understands more the work they have to do and some that doesn't get it as quickly. In most cases that student needs help, but when they get home either their parents are working or they don't understand it either. So it creates a lot of stress when they need to deal with a homework that will be check the day after when they don't understand. Plus, since those student aren't as fast they can't afford having a homework incomplete but what's the goal of having a homework if your not going to finish it.

In conclusion, homework is a very disturbing way of helping kids or young adults to learn more about their course since according to "factualfacts.com" we have about 3 hours of homework per night and those 3 hours might create stress or get boring and when we arrive home we are overflow with homework so the brain is tired of all the work that day. So what do you think, should we abolish homework.
