homework
Needless to say Providence on average assigns the most homework in CMS. Reasonable speaking how much homework should a high school student have? One hour's worth, two? Or none at all? Granted we as students need some work outside of the classroom to reinforce what we have learned, but come when is enough, enough? From experience we all know that each teacher believes his or her class is the most important one at school, they believe each student has at least 45 minutes each night to work on assignments from their class. That fact alone sounds very reasonable but what teachers fail to realize is that with more than 200 other teachers at Providence believing the same way, it adds up. I, myself a rather efficient worker, have many nights where I have more than 2 1/2 hours of work. Now is so much work really needed? Maybe if teachers used their 90 minutes every other day more effectively we would have less work to do at home. Don't get me wrong I am not an advocate for the abolition of homework, but the reduction of. Now for
those who say, "The more work the student receives the better he or she will do, just look at the test scores"- dad. I do agree that Providence annually has unsurpassed test scores, in CMS, there is no arguing that fact. The reason why most people go to college once they are adults is because they can deal with stress. The more people/work you put in them the shorter they can travel. One can not take that literally but can take it to mean that their work load is by far less than that of Providence students, or in other words average. But I am here in the voice of common sense, to beg for the reduction of it. If school was such a good idea how come it took until the 20th century to mandate it in all countries? Do you know who the richest man in the world is? For those of you who don't know it's Bill Gates. With that said is it easier to make the correlation between work and stress? Time and time again we constantly hear that Providence is by far more demanding than college. Most believe the job of a teenager is to have fun, not to be bogged down with hours and hours of many times pointless homework. Do you know what he thought of school and its work? He liked it so much so that he dropped out of school. Research has shown that children perform better academically when they live with both parents, and in middle class or above homes. But unlike airplanes who can stop whenever they need to, we as students have to go 9 months before we get our insufficient "break". Now it is not sensible to place such a stress on 14-18 year old kids? I liken Providence to getting teeth pulled, it just sucks (1).
