Why homework should be banned!

Room 4 has been working on persuasive writing and this topic is focusing on, why homework should be banned. This topic, for me, was particularly easy but the most challenging thing was finding the right information and factual pieces.

Homework by Ruiha

It is certain that in Room 4 most people are obviously, against homework. Imagine going to school, working six hours, then coming home and doing more! Why should we have homework when we have school?

In fact, most students are getting way too much work assignments leading to unhealthy stress levels, sleep deprivation and unhealthy problems. Harmful stress levels can affect your brain and body, your thoughts and feelings, and behaviour. Stress can also give you health problems, that include high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Sleep deprivation is a common sleep disorder that if you look into it can kill you. Sleep deprivation can cause fatigue, daytime sleepiness, clumsiness, and increased appetite.     

In addition, homework consumes time for students and can present Students with social problems which homework can also give student’s burdens for they cannot finish nor complete, leading to depression and anxiety. People can develop anxiety from just a simple test or assignment, anxiety affects us all differently, some more than others... depression is a case of sadness usually caused by a traumatic event in life or it can be caused by something as simple as stress.

Another important point is that the teacher has to mark loads and loads of homework, making the teacher even more grouchy than they or ready are. The teacher doesn’t want to mark all of the student's homework.

Sleep deprivation, time, stress, obesity, heart problems, increased appetite... all of these things can be made from too much work assignments. So without a doubt, I believe, because of these reasons that students shouldn't be participating in homework.
