'No Homework' Debate Finds Support in New Jersey

These parents in new jersey think that homework is taking up to much of the students time and it is effecting their health. I think that they are right for homework during the week. Most students have sports or other extracurricular things to do after school. This takes up time and limits the available time students have to do their work. This leads to students staying up late at night. By staying up late this is effecting the students health because they are not getting the amount of sleep they need. With limited sleep because of homework, it is actually effecting the grades students get during the school day. Therefore homework during the week can lead to a decrease in grade. This is why I think that students should only get homework on the weekends where they have extended time to do it and it is not affecting anyones sleep in the end. I think the new jersey parents should not take away homework completely, but just push to limit homework only to the weekends.
