Schoolwork Overload

How is schoolwork affecting kids? How much schoolwork is being given? How do they feel about homework? These questions and more will be answered. We interviewed some students in 8th grade in Douglas Middle School.

Amerae Bear-Robe’s Interview:

How do you feel about homework?

Amerae: “It’s stupid, we should do it at school.”

Why do you feel this way?

Amerae: “We have better things to do at home.”

Like what?

Amerae: “Things like chores and laundry.”

Claire Clyde’s Interview:

How do you feel about homework?

Claire: “I wanna die.”

Why do you feel like this?”

Claire: “Why would we want homework when we have school 8 hours a day?”

Sean Glynn’s Interview:

How do you feel about homework?

Sean: “I think this school is good about it.”

Why do you feel this way?

Sean: “If you pay attention you can do the work pretty easily.”

These are just a small part of a bigger problem for students. Homework seems to be mostly unliked but a few students are fine with it. It seems that homework might be stressing people out. Homework looks to be a mostly disliked thing. This should be a topic that can be expanded on, we will work on this topic more in the future.
