Students today have almost twice as much homework as they had back 30 years ago. 

When a student comes home from school, the first thing that comes into their mind is how much homework they have. As all of this pressure builds on top of them they gain stress, which is always unhealthy, especially when the person is a young teenager. 

45% of teens have reported that they are stressed all the time due to homework.

Parents, students, teachers, does 45% sound like a lot? Well, it sure is. Think about it, all this pressure that is put on these students, how will it effect them later on? Instead of doing better to them, it is making them more mentally unstable, which in effect, can result in long-term issues. I am trying to say that teens should not suffer from this, just because they were told to “do their homework”

My goal

My goal is to certainly not remove homework completely, as I believe that it is still an important part of success. My goal is to simply reduce, and maybe even change the homework that we are assigning students. I believe that this can impact our education system in a more positive matter rather than a negative. Please, give the students a little more time to spend in their short childhoods.

There is an extremely low chance that this can make a change, but please, if you do somehow see this, please sign my petition and fix our education

Thank you
