Schools should remove homework entirely. This is because the man who invented homework, Roberto Nevilis, did not intend for it to be mandatory. Rather, he created it as a punishment for his students who kept misbehaving in class. Homework was created as a punishment and it really should stay that way.

As of now, the average student goes to school from 8 am - 3 pm, which is around 7 hours. This is only an hour less than a full-time job. If your employer told you to do some work from home in your free time and punished you if you didn't do it, then that would be illegal. So it's ironic that schools say they are preparing you for real life.

School is like a grocery store. You may never use more than 10% of what a store carries, but enough of the other customers use the other 90% for the store to keep stocking those items anyway. This is fine enough when we are actually at school, but when it's eating away at our free time, and when 99% of students say homework is a significant source of stress, that's just not good.

Think about it, if school is not a place for sleep, then home is not a place for work.

If any schools are reading this, please take this into careful consideration and do your research. All it takes is one school to make a change to start a chain reaction.
