In the educational world, nothing stops a student from being assigned homework. Yes it sucks and yes it is stressful, but in the end it is a universal key aspect of a students school career. And once you think about it, work done at home, even if not intended to be “homework” comes along throughout life. At my school we are required to have a accordion binder/folder. My folder is sky blue, with a matching string to hold in the papers. A clear sealing so I can admire all of the wonderful work that I am assigned. But lately my beautiful folder has been falling apart. The tape proclaiming that the folder was my property has fallen off. The very helpful and quite fancy string has ripped from its post and the clear walls to my folder are falling apart. The one and only felon to do such a crime on this very important folder happens to be the inhabitant of its very sleek inner section. In other words, the mass amount of homework that comes day in and day out is the cause of the vandalism.
I am the standing image of what a child looks like after a huge amount of homework. Bags under my eyes, extremely dry skin, paper cuts all over and pencil markings on the left and right hands. I will tell you that the past month (not including vacation) all weekends I have been slaving over pieces of colorful paper as if the paper was trying to make homework more fun. But I can say with confidents that the colorful paper doesn’t help. I am trying to get to a point and I am caught up in other things, sorry.
Anyway, by now I think that you will be able to see the main grievance of this particular post is. I am angry with the current amount of homework that me, fellow students and even teachers have to go through. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to have a complaining fest just to post it on the internet. I am honestly stating a problem that many other kids feel should be focused on by the education boards all around the states. If any teachers are reading this please take this as a real problem, and try to make it better.
