How Do Students feel About Their Homework Load?
“Students are given way too much homework, by the end of the day students are exhausted with sports and sitting at the desk gives little motivation to continue.” This was said by Norton High School Senior Sean Bostrom, who's been dealing with this homework situation his whole school career. Homework has been said to be a stress creator or a helper when it comes to opinions. For me, I believe that we as students have a large workload due to the amount of classes we have and also the amount of time we spend in school too When I asked a fellow senior from Norton High School what the thought about the workload, had that to say on the whole agenda: "When I am I'm school, I already feel stressed and tired from what we do in classes and to get out of school is a relief on some days. But when we get home just to find out we have homework, a project, or study time we have to work on, I get more stressed than I already was while attending my classes. When I asked a fellow senior from Norton High School what the thought about the workload, had that to say on the whole agenda I feel the same way as well. When I asked six students on my off time (Broadening from three different High Schools) whether or not they believe they are being assigned too much homework or not, they all agreed that they were given too much homework and with everything else going on, "homework gets in the way." Mainly because they either played sports or they have jobs as well as other things that occupy their out of school time.

We need to be intelligent and knowledgeable but
sometimes we are assigned too much of a workload that it doesn't help at all. When
I asked a student about homework workloads, he said "Students should do
their work in school and only in school. Time at home should be for family or
relaxation outside of school." Even a large quantity of parents agree
students are given a heavy workload of for school. We spend roughly seven hours
in one school day. I get out of school around 2:05pm and time spent after school
usually consists of 2 hours of extra work given to me. Homework makes it feel
like we're still spending our time in school. School isn't what most of the day
should consist of and certainly not outside of school. Cody Shannon, another
senior attending Norton High School, had this to say about the average students’
homework workload: "I feel as if it's too much. It should be weighed down because
we also sit in school for six hours as it is”. Students do work in class so
they might as well do that assigned work while still in school
rather than interfering with every day out of school life.
From
my opinion and all the other numerous student opinions on the average workload
for homework, it seems as if the workload is a little too much. Sure we need to
do school work and be assigned homework once in a while or if every
day in small amounts, but as of now, it is an issue that many people struggle
with and continuously struggle with in their high school careers.
