Not really okk

      When it comes to homework its always a struggle. Teachers give you all sorts of things to do mostly to keep you busy. Most of us, well at least here, take at least 6 classes, and when each of those teachers gives you homework for the night it doesn't really turn out to well. A lot of them just say well its only an hour of work so its not too long at all. Well when all six of your teachers say that, that 6 hours of homework right there. You are basically expected to do all of that without being able to do anything else for the night. Some of us are in extracurricular activities as well, often practice doesn't get over until around 6, giving you even less time to do everything.
      I actually believe that made every school (high schools at least) should switch to more of a block schedule, kind of like college. If we had to only worry about 3 classes a day instead of 6 classes all in one day it would be so much easier. Honestly having just 3 classes would be so much better. We could all do any thing that we wanted to and still have time for homework because there wouldn't be 6 hours of it, and maybe, if you want that is, get to bed before like 3 am.
        It is really quite ridiculous when you think about it, that pretty much 75% of the work you have to do for school is just a bunch of busy work. Since it is all just busy work it just makes you want to do it less and less, Now for some people I am sure that all the work actually does help them learn but for others its just a waste of time. Im sorry that I dont need to be told that one little tid bit over and over but I don't. We shouldn't have to deal with 6 hours of homework, especially if 4 hours of it is just a bunch of crap you have one over a thousand times before.
         Not that me saying all of this will really do a whole lot but I feel like the make of homework needs to be looked at. Or just amount of classes in general. We need to redo the whole system and change how things are happening to actually not overwhelm students. Thats probably not going to happen though so this is really just a gnat on the web.
