lp115+Pet+Peeves


 * Thesis** (What You're Trying to Prove)


 * (I believe that) __ homework is a terrible creation.**


 * Three Reasons**
 * 1) **I get a lot of it. Example: Social Studies, Science, Math exc.**
 * 2) **It takes a really long time. Example: sometimes it takes me an hour and a half.**
 * 3) **I want to hang out with my puppy. Example: he bugs me about playing with him.**


 * Facts/Experts/Opinions**
 * **Harvard Graduate School of Education**
 * **Mr. Schoch even thinks that over an hour and a half of homework is bad**


 * Exaggerated Effects**
 * **by the time that i am done with homework it's time for school.**
 * **it clutters my brain with nonsense to the point where i see smoke coming out of my ears.**

**Horrible Homework**

 * Do you have a pet peeve? I know that I do. Yours might be something like finger nails on a chalk board or lip smacking. Mine is homework.**


 * Some nights it takes me half an hour; however, most nights it can take me more than hour and a half.** **Even my reading language arts teacher, Mr. Schoch, says that more than 90 minutes of homework is a bad thing.**

 * Also, through out the night my puppy keeps bugging me because he wants to play. He gets so persistent that he starts biting me. Some nights, by the time I'm done with homework, it's time for school. Can you believe that?**


 * Most parents say that homework is a good thing. Well, if I don't get my home work done before my parents pick me up from after care, my parents yell at me.**


 * I say, " It's not my fault that my teachers gave me too much homework."**


 * Then my mom says, " I doubt that"**


 * After that, she makes me show her all of the home work that I had to do. Then, she checks how heavy my backpack is and says," They give you too much homework."**


 * Then I say," I know, that's what I was trying to tell you!"**


 * Has that ever happened to you?**


 * Also, we learned the exact same stuff at school. Plus, some kids don't even do the homework, they just look it up online. Therefore, it's pointless to have us do it at home rather than at school.**


 * Another reason is, when teachers give us so much homework that by the time were done with it, we forget the first few things that we did.**


 * Scientists have proven that if a child gets too much homework, it could cause them stress. Although, it's not like what to wear on picture day kind of stress, it's like loosing sleep at night kind of stress, and sometimes emotional breakdowns. Has that ever happened to you?**
 * In some cases it's so extreme that it causes kids to get depressed.**


 * Look, I have a step sister that's a teacher. I'm not saying that studying for a test doesn't count as homework, but, in my opinion, that's the only homework that we should have. Also, my mom says that if we don't do homework then how are we supposed to learn our responsibilities in life. In my opinion, we can learn it in other ways, such as being a leader in a group project.**


 * If I were the principal of my school, homework would be my number two priority.**


 * Just above school lunches.**
