What school rule would you like to change? Why? Be sure to examine both sides of the argument.

I’d like to change the school rule that we should have about an hour and a half or more of home work each night. They should not give us any homework at all. I mean, we stay in school from 7:45 a.m. till 3:00 p.m. When we go home we want to rest, watch some television, and play so we can rest from a hard day at school. Everyday we have about three hours of homework, and quizzes. We also have homework everyday in almost every subject. On weekends, we should have fun and forget about school, but we can’t do that because we have so much homework. I can understand a little why our teachers want to give us homework; they want us to practice our skills so we can get good grades, and so we do not forget what they taught us in school. Or may be, it’s just a way to torture us. I do not understand why they give us homework, but I think they should stop. My brother and sister are older than me and they have less homework than me. I mean from the time I come home and till about 8:00 p.m at night I am working on my homework. It is too much! Please take your time and think about what I said, because even kids need a break.
