Homework Stinks! True or False?

                                                 By Annie Pa

Well, you might think sometimes you have too much homework, you’re too bored to do it, or you don’t like it. And maybe you think: Why do we even have homework? We have homework because homework helps us learn. If we don’t

learn, then you will become not so smart. If you have trouble doing your homework, you can ask yor parents, your teacher, or your siblings (of course not your younger sibling) to help you. You do not want to bring your homework near a dog or it may eat it.

True! Homework does stink! To much homework can make your brain think that homework is some sort of poison and makes you have phobia to homework. All you think is “homework stinks, homework stinks, homework stinks” and you don’t even pay any attention to the homework. You should always take a rest after every 30 minutes you do homework. Don’t take a long rest; only take a maximum of five minute of a rest may calm you down for doing that entire homework strait.

False! Homework also does not stink! You can’t learn anything without homework! Don’t think homework is just some sort of chore that your parents or teacher forces you to do because you’re bored. They want you to learn. Homework includes tips and strategies and exercises your brain. Your brain cannot be sleeping all day. It needs exercise just like our normal body. We have to wake up for school, right? It’s the same thing for a brain. You can’t let it sleep all day and do nothing, exercise it! It practices your knowledge so the next time you do the same kind of work, you won’t have to think, “what is this?” because you already learned and practiced it in your homework. If you have some problems doing you’re homework, here are some tips that may help you on your homework:

• Remove distractions - Do homework in a quiet place that does not have distractions. Turn off the TV; don't expect to do homework in a room where siblings are playing.
• Establish a routine - Set a specific "homework time" such as right after supper.

• Require that homework should be complete before you can watch T.V, use the computer, etc.
• Prioritize - Encourage to work first on those assignments that are due tomorrow. Then tackle the tasks that are due later. Help yourself plan your studying so that projects are not left until the last minute. An assignment book can be a big help with this.
• Check understanding - Be sure you understand new assignments before you start working on them. This one can save lots of late-evening tears!
• Get organized for tomorrow - Remind yourself to pack the backpack before going to bed. Even the best homework effort doesn't do much good if it's left on the kitchen table!
• Don’t Get Rushed! – Getting rushed puts you to more pressure! Use your time wisely, but don’t be like a slow snail!

Sometimes, homework can be fun! You can get used to homework by doing much

homework at home! You can rest after every 30 minutes you do your homework, then get back to it again. Be focused and concentrate. This way, you can do homework quicker, finish homework faster, and you can get over with it!
