Should Teachers Assign Homework
Hook
History and Background
"No kid should be getting 3 or 4 hours of homework at night. There is no breathing time, there's no family time, there are just extracurriculars and homework and then go to bed."-Ross W. Green
People would say that assigning homework can help with many things like building character and promoting self disipline but there is no proof of this. Homework can cause stress, family issues, takes away time from other activities ans can reduce interest in learning.- The Guidon Online

Teachers shouldn't assign homework because students go to school for 7 hours a day and that should be enough studying and learning. School already takes up more than 50% percent of our time in a year.

Homework can take away so much time you could be using being with your family play boardgames or getting to talk to them. i can remember multiple occasions where I am talk to my parents and I need to cut our conversation short because I needed to finish homework.
Because of homework I have started to have less and less time to be on my phone which many people will say is a good thing but I don't think it is because on my phone i can reach out to all my friends and face time them which is especially needed during quarantine.
I love to spend time with friends and to me and many other people spending time with your friends creates the foundation of a good friendship and homework gives me less time to make such a strong foundation with my friends and most of the time when my friends ask if i can hang out with them I have to say no because I have so much homework to get to and it makes me upset thinking about all the inside jokes and good laughs I have now missed with them.
