In addition, free time is an important part of the teen years, and students miss out on an important part of their adolescent development due to homework.
b. Doing what you like on your own time is an important part of the teen years, and students miss out on an important part of their adolescent development due to homework. As I have shown, homework is a detriment to students' education.
c. Homework is awful. It's a waste of time and has no real connection to making me smarter. Then I get in trouble if I don't do my homework, so it makes it even worse.
d. If homework requirements in school don't change, students will continue to feel like they don't have time for themselves. Students, like me, will not be able to do things they like. My friends would be thrilled if homework was outlawed.
