Studies show that some students spend too much time on homework at night. Students spend more than three hours on homework a night. Kids are recommended 8-10 hours of sleep. Students almost have no social life or can’t do anything. Most schools get out around 3 or 3:30 and if you add 3 hours to this they do not finish until 6 or 6:30. Most student don’t get what is even happening in that class sometimes, and they stress about a class that they just don’t get. Homework even stresses parents because most parents try to help their kid with homework, but they don’t understand and feel bad that they get a bad grade in whatever class it may be. Research shows kids regularly receive higher amounts of homework than what experts recommend. Students actually get 3 times more homework than we should be doing.

Studies shown first and second graders receive 28 to 29 minutes of homework per night. For high school students that’s about 3 hours of homework and if they are in a club or sport they have less time. Some high school students take college classes as well so then they are having harder classes with harder homework. Homework can also start fights at home when it comes to students asking parents for help on homework students don’t know how to do. According to healthline It’s 200% more likely for fights to start at home when coming to homework if the parents don’t know what’s going on. 70% percent of students say school homework is stressful. More than 80% of students say they have suffered from at least one symptom of stress. Homework stresses students out too much.
