Homework

          I believe students do not need homework after school, for the following reasons. Homework can cause a lot of stress. Homework can take away time to play freely, to engage with the body and the mind in different ways. Moreover, it's important to spend time with family, after school. Children need time to relax, play, and be with their families, and homework can take time away from these activities.

                   Stress is a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances. Homework can be very demanding, especially when kids are threatened with grades. Stress affects the ability to relax. When you are not calm, it's harder to learn. For example, homework can cause stress because the lesson was not taught or was taught unclearly. The uncertainty of not knowing how to do something can cause children to go into a loophole of all the negative aspects of school, the teachers, and even yourself. You then point out all the bad things in yourself. This doesn't only cause stress, it could stop you from learning something new.

              Children need time to play. Children need to figure themselves out, outside of school. Learning about your body and how to play alone and with others is a way to communicate. Without clear communication, the world becomes chaotic. Kids need a break from the computer and from instructions. And to use their bodies and minds in a way that makes them use their imagination. Creating, playing, and having fun, are activities children need to learn as well, on their own.

            After school is an important time to spend with loved ones. You spend almost the whole day at school, you don't have time to actually hang around with your family. If the child has an after-school activity, it could go on until 5 pm. And if you have homework, it can take up to 2 hours, if there are many assignments. School can be more than 7 hours a day, and with homework, kids barely have any spare time to share with their family.

            Kids do not need homework. Stress is not a productive emotion, and homework can cause it. All-day children are at school, they deserve time to have fun. Many kids would like to spend more time with their families. Finally, I suggest the school to be an inspiring and safe place for learning but let us give children the choice and freedom to decide what is next.
