Throughout the school year, student’s live by a strict schedule that consists of school, extracurricular activities and homework. The amount of homework has intensified, students are getting less sleep during school nights, and the level of stress is at its highest peak.

Assigning excessive homework can impact a child's behavior and overall well-being, impacting the child's activities outside of school and his relationships with friends and family.It also limits a child's time to explore his own interests, which could provide ground for career choices later.If excessive homework is given, it will cut into the downtime students need to relax or sleep. As students we need to take care of ourselves so that we can be able to do anything but sometimes we tend to forget about our own health because of the stress we get from school works.
