Can Homework Cause Obesity,stress, And Less Family Time? Should Homework Be Stopped

Homework causes so much stress and with having a job, I barely have time to eat dinner much less spend time with my family. I get home from school and start my homework, I go straight to work, and when I get back I do more homework sometimes hours into the night. There is no time for relaxing, exercising, or socializing. This is what homework does to my life night after night. I'm stressed out constantly. Yes, homework is important to reinforce what we have learned, but the amount given is completely unnecessary. Teachers should realize that students take 8 classes a semester (at my school at least) and are trying to have lives outside of school. We can't spend hours every night on one subjects homework. Imagine having an hour of homework for each class. That's 8 hours.. I can't deal with that.

Yes. It takes up time when you could be with your family. This wrecks your relationship with them. It stresses you out which can cause obesity. Also it stops you exercising which will make you put on weight with the diets today. If you do homework whilst you work, you don't concentrate on eating and are not aware of eating to much.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Schools are givin us way too much homework. There is no time for me to do anything anymore. All it is is homework, homework, homework. There's no time for family, friends, playing outside, nothing. I'm stressed n sick n tired of it.

Yes it can. It depends on how much homework there is to do. It should be stopped because it is still helpful it should just be limited.

I think homework will take away family time. But it will help you get better and to improve your education.

Yes, some homework is important but most is just busy work

Yes
