Speaker A
Homework affects my family. Whenever we want to go out to eat as a family, we can’t because I have homework to do. It just puts us in a bad mood. Nobody likes to help with homework. Night after night, after five hours of sitting and trying to solve the problem, you get grounded for not having done it. It’s just frustrating. Very, very frustrating! I just hate it because when I get home I want to relax instead of having to work in my spare time. I wish I could see the day when there is no homework. I hope to see such a day.
Speaker В
It depends on what age you are. I’ve just graduated from my final year of high school and I think we got way too much homework. I’m not against homework, because in the younger grades, you need all the training you can get before it starts to really matter. But in our final year, where we had so much work outside of class that counted towards our final mark, excess work, which didn’t count for any marks, was just stressful and stupid! That happens a lot at school. It makes you get bad marks because you have to concentrate on other things.
Speaker С
In high school I did very little homework. In fact I studied very little too, except right before tests, and I was in all AP classes and all that. If I did get homework, I rarely did it. I usually copied or spar-knoted it. I graduated and got into a really good college. Now I’m dying. I can’t do my homework properly just because I have incredible amounts of it. I barely have time to finish it all even though I have no job and I’m only taking 14 hours, not to mention that I never party or go out. It’s a pity that I haven’t got used to doing homework.
Speaker D
Everybody hates homework at some point just because we get too much of it. I used to absolutely hate the idea of homework, but within the last years I realized that any school wants what’s best for your own future. You may be young, and you really don’t understand what homework does, but it develops a sense of logic and creates a fulfilling personality that other people will like. Not only does it make you more intelligent, but it also enhances your personality. Because of that, now I fully participate in school.
Speaker E
I don’t like the idea of homework. I do enough work and learning at school, and we seem to spend more time at school then we do at home already, so I believe homework takes up time we could be spending with family, or having fun. It causes even more stress. I try to do my homework. I do it when I understand what we’re doing, which is pretty rare, but even then I still attempt to do it. I get tons of homework in Science and Algebra, my two worst subjects. If I got more homework in English or History, I might actually enjoy doing it.
Speaker F
Well, I can’t say I enjoy doing lots of homework. I guess it depends on the subject you’re taking. I did art subjects last year so there really wasn’t so much homework. Well most of it I did anyway. But if it was for a subject that I didn’t particularly like, I probably just ‘forgot’. Yet I believe homework is rather beneficial as it helps you review what you’ve studied at school. It lets you learn on your own and at your own pace, but at the same time I think that you should be able to relax while you’re not at school.
