Eliminate Homework.

What is the point of homework? It seems to be fairly pointless, considering many students just copy it from others in the end. It would be better to concentrate all work, so that it is completed in the classroom, therefore forcing students to do their own work. I also do not understand how teachers expect students to be involved in outside of school activities with all of the work they assign. As a highly involved student, it is difficult to get all homework done, have a social life, and sleep. It is nearly impossible. While I believe an education is very important in every student’s life, it doesn’t always need to be the only focus. Also, winter, spring, and summer vacations should not be full of homework. There is a reason it is called a vacation. Dictionary.com defines vacation as a “period of suspension of work, study, or other activity, usually for rest, recreation, or travel; recess or holiday.” I wish school teachers would follow this definition because my idea of rest and recreation does not include writing essays, doing pointless assignments, and reading boring books. Basically, the best way to fix school would be to eliminate homework completely.
