Well im bored so I thought I would share with you the true reasons for why schools assign homework, why todays youth is over weight, and how they are connected…
First, the government complains that todays children are getting more and more obese, and that they are not getitng enough excersize…The reason for this is homework, allow me to explain.
The reason that the schools assign so much homework is to keep teens of the streets so that they would not be causeing trouble. So they assign all the students in schools a lot of home work in order to keep then inside. This however backfired on them in two ways. For one it cause all the kids that just spent 8 hours in school to now spend another 2 doing there homework, by the time they are finished they can no longer go outside and play sports and get hte excersize they need to stay fit. Two since they are finished at night now if they want to go out it must be at night where they are more proned to get into trouble…
The schools blame there soda vendors, snack foods, and video games, the true culprit is homework. After you must spend about 8 hours at school you must come home and do another 2. By the time you are finished you cant go outside for sports anymore so you are forced to stay inside and play video games, for if oyu go out you would now be considered some hoodlum by many.
When I was still in school I talked with several to most all my teachers about this, near all agreed with this and believe that the state is assigning too much work after hours for students, then complaining that todays youth is getting obese…
Our school days (Jr. High) are 6 hours long, not 8. Does it change in highschool to 8 hours? Anyway, I’m lucky enough to have less than 45 minutes of homework a night, but I definitely agree with you about too much homework and not enough exercise. But hey, you have to include PE and afterschool sports as exersise, so at lease the chubby kids are doing something to keep semi-healthy.
Cobalt, and Serrano, tehy are both over 7 hours, not quite 8 there like 20-30 min short…It so funny, I told Evan The minute I Posted this that you would have something negative to say…
Even by the time I was in high school school was like 8:03 to 3:16 that’s only 7 hours and 13 minutes, but then you get a half hour or so for lunch so that’s only 6 hours and 43 minutes. And I was in honors classes and such and never spent more than a bought 30 minutes a night doing homework. So you obviously went to some crazy work-a-holic school.
I don’t dislike you you’re posts are just all so childish.
Yeah, I am only 16, still a child pretty much, 7hours sounds about right, That is why I said about 8 hours, I prolly somewhere in there jsut said a straight 8. I usuualyl didnt have to do that much home work since i did most of it in class, but one of my teachers said that they are supposed to give students 2 hours of homework.
Bah, I started typing up a disagreement, until I realized it’s not worth it. Then I started to type a sarcastic “agreement”, but then I realized that wasn’t worth it either. caw, I really hope you don’t believe what you typed in your first post.
Here’s a crazy idea, do some exercise when it’s light right after school, then do your homework later on in the evening when it’s darker, crazy, i don’t know how i think them up.

did I read that in someone’s sig? I think i did hehe - i probably got it wrong too but its something like that…
I have 6 hours school a day, and there’s no way i could come home and do 2 hours homework EVERY NIGHT! Firstly I don’t even get assigned that much, and the stuff i do get given i only do what’s really important, homework is overrated, do what’s going to help you pass the year, the rest is a waste of time.
Here in Britain I had an eight and a half hour day (including travel), one hour of homework AND had to put in fourteen hours down t’ pit digging coal so we could eat. You guys have it easy…
