I believe homework should be banned for a number of reasons. The first being that the teachers are paid to teach their students IN SCHOOL. Why should I, nor anyone else have five to six hours of homework a night. I am a high school student who works up to 20 hours a week and play an interscholastic sport. I do not always have time to get to my homework. The way I view this problem can be summed up in the fact that i go to school for 7 hours a day. I should be able to have some sort of life before college rather than revolving around school.
