Less homework!

                       By Catherine Adams

 

As I packed up my homework I realized I had a ton of homework.  When I put on it felt like my backpack was going to burst instantly I was so stressed out because I had so many activities after school.  There was no time to do my homework.

We go right from school to be activities.  We have no time for are homework.  I get home from one of my after school   activities and I putt on the table my homework it looked like a year supply of homework to do.  I forgot to do part of my homework and I had to stay in for recess. 

When I get back home from school and I slam down my backpack I am just plain tired. This means that school and school work tires us out.  When I get home I just want to get comfortable on the couch and watch TV.  NO! The teachers don’t want us to do that because they load us down with homework.  This says that we are supposed to work all day non stop.  When I am tired after school it means that I have worked so hard that day and I just need a brake.  Teachers don’t realize that we are tired!  Not that we should not get homework we just need less.                                                                            When I am walking back home I see my friends having fun and playing.  I can’t play because I have a lot of homework.  I say to myself “it can wait.”  When I got back inside it was 6:00 and it was time for dinner.  I completely forgot all about my homework then remembered after dinner I had to stay up so late that night.                                                  

There is souch time in the day and it’s spent doing homework.  We should have less homework because we have after school activities, we are just plain tired and we want to spend time with our friends.
