Do teachers give to much homework?



I think teachers give too much homework, especially on Mondays and Tuesdays. Teachers give most of the homework then because they want to refresh our minds from the weekend. Most kids do fun activities over the weekend and forget what happened in school last week. They might have a test or quiz coming up soon and forget to study, or a project that is due really soon and forget to finish the project.

Teachers could give us more time to do assignments. For example, the homework could be due later in the week, unless it’s a small quick assignment that can be done in less than 10 minutes. Teachers don’t usually give any homework on Thursdays. They should make it even and give some of the homework that we got on Mondays and Tuesdays on Thursdays or Wednesdays. Some teachers give kids a whole book report that is due the next day and the kids might not have gotten enough sleep last night because of activities after school that end really late.


Teachers should even out the homework because so many people have sports or after school activities to go to and they might not be able to finish their homework on time; which will lead to their grades dropping. When grades are drop the parents will most likely get mad that the kids haven’t been studying or that the homework was passed in really late. Passing homework in late will take off 20 points everyday until you hand it in; which will affect your grade. Do you agree that some teachers give too much homework?

  1. Nikki,

    Teachers, of which I am one, do sometimes give out too much homework. We forget that you're not only getting homework from us, but the other teacher in your core. You may be onto something with the idea of assigning homework later in the week, but you must not forget that activities after school AND homework come with certain levels of responsibilities.

    I enjoyed your article.
