Have you ever had to stay up until one o'clock in the morning trying to finish your homework? Well most students today are doing that and struggling to find time for anything else. To much homework for students causes stress, loss of fitness, and cause obesity.
First, the world is changing and more oppertunites are coming. Stress can cause intrapersonal communication. The average school starts at 8 am and ends around 3:05 pm. The hours spent are eight during the day. After children go home they want to be outside because they have been stuck in a building all day long. Children can be stressed because they will have three tests to study for the next day on top of five more other classes they take that might assign homework. I have stayed up until two o'clock in the morning studying for homework after a long track meet. By the time I get home I want to sleep but instead I have three classes of homework I have been assigned to do. Some nights I have had so much homework I will start to cry and get headaches due to the stress level. In a news article for CNN, C.Weaver of New Jersey answered saying children are in school for 8 hours a day, they do not need to come home and do another two or three hours of homework. That is more than a full-time job. Children will tend to slack off with so much homework because that reduces less stress. Link to article about stress
Second, homework can interfer with kids interpersonal communication. If children have to much homework this can lead to lack of a social life, which may prevent teens from developing normal personal and leadership skills. These skills could be useful or necessary later in life, and if a teen does not acquire them, they may have a hard time as an adult. http://quazen.com/kids-and-teens/school-time/modern-day-students-have-too-much-homework/
Third, isn't obesity rising in the United States? A fact is homework can cause obesity in students. A teen who is constantly sitting down will begin to lose fitness. Lack of exercise can cause obesity, heart disease, and loss of concentration. The two former are dangerous to physical health, and the latter very important for a student to properly function correctly. This can also cause many more health problems.http://primaryschool.suite101.com/article.cfm/my_child_has_too_much_homework
In conclusion, to much homework can be a fault with the communication process,health problems,and stress levels to be to high. After reading articles about "To Much Homework" there has been positive and negative feedback. We are at a scare as our economy is getting worse and less jobs are creating students are wanting to be doctors and lawyers which means more homework and study time.
