Should Homework Be Banned

Sleep: Sleep is your body"s way of restoring organ function, stabilizing chemical imbalance, refreshing areas of the brain that control mood and behavior, and improving performance. During sleep, your brain replenishes spent nutrients and repairs circuitry, rearranging your experiences much like a computer rearranges data. Doing Homework for three hours and for a University student in some cases, 5. This will lead to less sleep which is very bad for your body. This can lead to memory loss in older recipients according to a study conducted by the Journal of American Geriatrics Society. Now my Third and final Pillar: Stress. We've all felt it. Sometimes stress can be a positive force, motivating you to perform well at your piano recital or job interview. But often " like when you're stuck in traffic " it's a negative force. If you experience stress over a prolonged period of time, it could become chronic " unless you take action. For example when stress starts interfering with your ability to live a normal life for an extended period, it becomes even more dangerous. The longer the stress lasts, the worse it is for both your mind and body. You might feel fatigued, unable to concentrate or irritable for no good reason, for example. But chronic stress causes wear and tear on your body, too. Stress can make existing problems worse. In one study, for example, about half the participants, were constantly thinking negative thoughts about their pain. Chronic stress may also cause disease, either because of changes in your body or the overeating, smoking and other bad habits people use to cope with stress. Job strain, high demands coupled with low decision-making latitude is associated with increased risk of coronary disease, for example. Other forms of chronic stress, such as depression and low levels of social support, have also been implicated in increased cardiovascular risk. And once you're sick, stress can also make it harder to recover. One analysis of past studies, for instance, suggests that cardiac patients with so-called "Type D" personalities characterized by chronic distress " face higher risks of bad outcomes. Yes, homework is too stressful for students. I think this is so because teenagers have so much to deal with already in life. They are going through many changes in life, both physically and mentally, and added homework causes some students to experience stress. Teachers, I think, sometimes forget that we teenagers do have things outside of school that we have to do and take care of and teachers constantly asking us about missing homework is stressful at times. Especially when the teacher thinks that our reason for not doing homework is irrelevant. New research shows that some students are doing more than three hours of homework a night -- and that all that school work may be literally making them sick. According to CNN, A study from the Routledge Taylor and Francis Group. They tested surveyed more than 4,300 students from 10 high-performing public and private high schools in upper-middle-class California communities. The researchers sought to examine the relationship between homework load and student well-being and engagement, as well as to understand how homework can act as a stressor in students' lives. Their findings were troubling: Research showed that excessive homework is associated with high stress levels, physical health problems and lack of balance in children's lives; 56% of the students in the study cited homework as a primary stressor in their lives. This shows that the stress they face can lead to migraines, ulcers and other stomach problems, sleep deprivation and exhaustion, and weight loss. To conclude, from the studies and reasons I have just stated including the how time consuming homework is, the values of sleep and the effects of stress and chronic stress I am stating that between the reasons I have just stated is that not only that homework is time consuming and boring, it can make you sick. Therefore, Homework should be banned. Thank You.
