I believe in no homework

I believe in no homework because after being in school for eight hours and having to do two hours of homework, I have no time to do other things. I am unable to do activities or sports out of school or do anything with my family. 

One time, when I was in 6th grade I had homework in all of my core classes. As soon as I got home I ate a snack like I do everyday, then go to do homework. I did my homework tell six-o'clock, which is when my mom called me to go eat dinner. When I was done with dinner, I went back to doing homework tell ten-o'clock , when my mom said I had to go to bed. The next day when I woke up I remembered I forgot to my math homework on the computer. 

Another reason of why I don’t believe in homework is because I get really stressed if I did not do homework, and sometimes people can’t get their work done.Certain people may not have the supplies to get their work done, like no internet or computer . I think that there should be no homework but if you don’t finish your class work, then it turns into homework. Like a punishment for not getting your work done that you were supposed to in class. 

Homework does not only affect me but it also affects my family. My mom is not happy when I have to spend the whole night doing homework, neither is my dad. My parents want me to get out and do a sport or activity but with all the homework that I have, I can't get my homework done and do a sport. 

In conclusion, I believe in no homework because It causes stress, I have to stay up late to finish my homework, and I don't get to do a sport or activity out of school. This proves that is hard on kids, it may teach them responsibility but how much we get is not needed.
