Am I the only one who thinks that school has just become 80
times worse academically this year? I mean seriously, the homework just keeps
pilling on and on, it feels like you can never get away! I personally have been
feeling this way all year and its only October. Yikes. This year it is teachers
challenge to make the average teenage life a living hell. Yes I said it and for
any teacher that reads this blog think about your students the next time you
assign something, is it really that important? You may be a teacher reading
this and you can deny it all you want but teens these days have so much to do
and so much to learn it’s a miracle we aren’t all dead or in the hospital for
back injuries due to heavy, exploding backpacks. Seriously.
On average
students have at least two classes that they have homework in a night, which
may not sound like much but for me that is the bare minimum and that never
includes the actual length of the assignment. Enough already! We do this work
in school why do I need an extra six hours tonight on top of the six hours I have
already done today? I personally know that each night I have at least an hour
and a half of homework. Now sprinkle in a part time job, family, friends,
clubs, sports and any other appointments after that. It just doesn’t work;
there isn’t enough time in the day. Every night I stay up until at least midnight
to get half of my homework done and even then it’s only half! I’m not saying
teenagers shouldn’t have any homework (even though I wouldn’t mind) but at
least cut back so I don’t have to be a zombie walking around school with
absolutely no social life. I know I am not the only one feeling this way so if
you’re reading this and you have a ton of homework tonight, I am sorry because I
know I’ll be up until about 12:30 tonight finishing whatever I didn’t finish for
my teachers today. Good luck! (358)
