I Just Feel Like Sleeping! By Bastien Dionne

Imagine waking up in a hurry every morning and feeling really tired. You take the bus and arrive at school, once in class your teacher ask's you where's your homework. Homework does not help students in school. We get way too muck homework. Some teachers give them every class when we already have some pilling up due for the next day. Homework only makes people stressed to go to school and makes students go to bed late at night.

First, Homework makes students stressed for school. We forget to do our homework the night before and only think about it in the morning but it's too late to do it. Some students start getting scared, not wanting to get into trouble. Stress is not something good for the human body and homework is on of the factor causing it. Teachers gives you detentions and then you get even more in trouble at home. Some students gets stressed when playing sports on week days. They're at their hockey game and suddenly start wondering if they will have time to finish their homework once at home. They think too much about finishing their homework on time and end up playing a bad game.

Teachers always say that their students look tired and sleepy but do not realize that it's because of the homework they're giving. Homework makes people go to sleep late at night. School is not our only priority in life, we have friends, families, sports ect... When we get home from 7 hours of school , we don't want to do our homework, we want to do things we enjoy doing. After supper for example, skating is really fun. When you get back home, it's already 9 p.m and you haven't started your homework yet. It gets finally but its not 11 p.m and you have to wake up at 6 o'clock the next morning. Seven hours of sleep is not a lot for a teenager.

If you accumulate all the school days a student gets 7 hours of sleep, he gets exactly 52.5 days sleeping. A teenager in average should get 9 hours minimum of sleep per day, which is 67.5 days sleeping for the same amount of days. Homework basically takes away 15 days of sleep per school year. Now it makes sense why we feel tired all the time. Homework does not help in school. It only makes your grades go down and gets you into trouble. It makes you go to sleep late at night and makes students stressed to go to school. Teachers... if you want us to pass your courses or you are willing to help us, reduce the amount of homework because it is not useful.
