Education Articles reporter Johnathan Hardcastle in his article entitled “Do Kids Have Too Much Homework” shares the rationale for such a decision.
Do kids have too much homework? A basic question with an obvious answer to most students, but is this helping meet the goals of a true education? Some schools assigning this large amount of homework could be considered as over kill and ultimately being a saboteur to student’s educations and learning as a whole.
Are the stacks of various subjects of homework causing schools to not meet the goals of a true education? According to Johnathan Hardcastle In the article “Do Kids Have Too Much Homework” says that children and parents are overwhelmed by the amount of homework that it was finally destroying their family life and causing psychological damage. Over all this does not sound healthy or like a way to “learn”.
According to the previous article that a study performed in 1997 by Michigan State University showed that children at the time were spending just over two hours per week on studying. This study was performed over 15 years ago. Could anyone imagine the increase of study time that could have multiplied over 15 years with the class subject
I relate to this because on top of all the extra activities giving to myself and other students by the school, and the mounds and mounds of homework from various subjects like Algebra III, Spanish II, Oral Communications and many other subjects it is a little overwhelming at times. Usually not to overwhelming if organized properly. That is only the basic course it would be terrible to be in an advanced track courses.
Many students are put in these awkward and complicated situations. Many stumble through with stress and arguments, others keep their mouth shut and move on cause the educational system will never change. Is this sabotaging student of the true goals of an education?
