Many recent studies show how the loads of homework can affect other things. The great amounts of homework can get in the way of extra-curricular activities and many other things. This can also lead to many problems. Based on the evidence collected I would definitely say that the amount of homework for many students should be limited. These high amounts of homework can really affect students negatively.
“47% students reported spending more than five hours per week studying or doing homework” which is a lot to do and can immensely affect the other after school activities. This high amount of homework can lead to bad grades and make it hard for students to do any other activities outside of school. Students have 8 classes and 8 hours of school already. With at least half an hour of homework per class the students are hammered with working cause unbearable stress. It is extremely hard to be able to get all this work done in such a short period of time.
Not only does this high amount of homework affect student’s grades, make school very stressful and make it hard to do other activities. Also because of this students are not going to be able to get enough sleep. Many students stay up late doing their homework because they are given so much. 53% of students reported that they were not getting enough sleep because of the extended amount of homework. Not enough sleep affects many other thing too. It leads to many present and future problems.
