Persuasive Writing

Essay

 

You might be thinking kids need homework! But the truth is it is unhealthy for kids to work more after school when they already worked a full day. Most adults don’t even do that! Let’s get rid of homework for good!

 

One reason that kids should not have homework is because it stresses kids out. For example if it is late at night and you want to go to sleep but you have to do your homework and then you will get stressed out. Stress is not good for your body and can make you sick. Another example is if you didn’t do it at night you have to do it in the morning and in the morning you are probably sleepy and don’t want to do the work you might be thinking it doesn’t matter kids can do it in the morning but they don’t have time because they wake up 7:45 it takes 5 minutes to get dressed then 5 minutes to brush your teeth and wash your face and then breakfast takes 10 minutes to make and then eating breakfast takes 10 minutes then 5 minutes to put on your shoes then it is 8:20 then you have to go and you have no time for homework! Also in the morning people seem to get stressed out and frustrated more because they are rushing around.

 

Kids should not have homework because kids have sports and activities. For example, if you come back from sport and you just want to chill because you’re tired you have to do your homework. Another example is if you want to play outside you can’t because you have to do your homework so you have to stay in inside do your homework then when your done you only have like 10 minutes outside you can’t do it outside because you can drop it then it will get dirty and then you can’t do it and you should be able to enjoy nature and the outdoors. Another example is if you have a sport right after school you can’t do your homework till a sport or activity is done but when a sport and activity is done you probably want to hang out with your friends but you have to go back to your house do your homework then when your done it is probably to late or your not with your friend anymore so you can’t hang out.

 

Kids should not have homework because you can’t spend time with your family. For example if your grandparents come to your house and they want to hang out with you but you have to do your homework which takes like 45 minutes then you only have a few hours with them and that is not a lot and you could of had an extra 45 minutes and then you could spend more time with your grandparents. Another example is sleeping is 10 hours school is 6 hours homework is 1 hour then sports or activities which is 3 hours then you have to go to sleep and you have no time with your family and if there was no homework you would have an extra hour each day with your family and a hour each day is better than nothing and that is why there should be no homework.

 

You might be wondering, “my kid can complete homework and still have time for sports and spending time with family.” You might be right but that doesn’t reduce the stress that kids feel and how kids should really just spend time being kids! They’re only young once! Homework needs to be eliminated!

Reflection

I learned to use a persuasive voice when I say you should appreciate him or there should be no that. I enjoyed typing it and I enjoyed recording. I picked my topic because I think kids do so much work at school they don’t need to give homework.
