Homework Weighing You Down?
October 20, 2020
High schools worldwide are constantly giving students homework. According to a study by Standford University, 56 percent of students considered homework a primary source of stress. Excessive amounts of homework can result in sleep deprivation, headaches, exhaustion, weight loss, poor eating habits, etc.
Valeria Quintero, a senior attending Edison High School, said “It’s not worth it. You get less free time, more stress, and you get overwhelmed with how much work you must get done. I feel like teachers forget that we have a life outside of school and other priorities to attend.”

I agree with everything you’ve said. Homework is definitely a huge source of stress. Sometimes an all-nighter is what you have to do to get the work done.

I agree that sometimes homework is too much and it could lead to a really unhealthy stressed life.
