Homework could be seen in many ways valuable, yet also invaluable. However, homework has gotten to the point where it is overloading students and they do not have enough time to sleep, much less participate in extracurricular activities. I understand having practice work is okay (to a limited extent), but for example, essays that are supposed to be 3-5 pages due the next day? No thank you. Especially when your teacher decides to announce STEM Fair, Math Leagues, new essays, history projects, a history test, a grammar test, a science test, and that's just the four main subjects in school! Then our teachers come complaining to our parents saying that we are not completing all the assignments given out. How are students supposed to complete every assignment when a new one pops up right after? I go to sleep at midnight and occasionally have to wake up at around 3-4 AM to complete my homework before school starts. The fact that soon finals are going to start soon is not helping. I would suggest schools to give homework to students who actually need extra practice, not just handing out essays and book reports whenever. Weekends are the worst. Students end up working on their homework throughout the entire two days they are supposed to get a 'break' and go back to school feeling even more stressed! In school, there is also something called drama and peer pressure that most teachers tend to ignore when handing out assignments whenever they please. So on top of all the social stress students are receiving, they are also getting educational stress. And when we're home, we tend to distance ourselves from our families more often because of homework, which makes everything tense, and even more stressful.
So I beg schools, please, please fix the system and accept that you are not in all cases, correct. Teachers should actually put in the extra effort to learn which students know the topics they are teaching, and which ones don't. And if they don't, give them a VERY LIMITED amount of practice work as homework.
