This is the life :)

Check this link out to a blog that a parent wrote about the hours of homework students spend each night. And basically, he does not want students to have so much homework each night. I FULLY agree with this!!!!!!!! In his blog entry, he states that doctors base their treatment of their patient based on the patient's condition, and not based on their knowledge of science and medicine. Of course having a science and medicine background allows their judgment to be better, it is not as effective as the gut feeling a person may have. Christopher, the author of this blog entry, also gives a schedule of an average teenager. He states that 12 hours are spent to maintain a good health. This is half of our day. Then, about nine hours is spent on structured activities, such as, time spent at school, time spent commuting, and then the time spent on extracurricular activities. Now, the total is twenty-one hours. This only leaves three hours for the person themself. And you can’t forget that the human race is not perfect and there can be some distractions, which can extend this time. The student still needs to be relaxed in those three hours, have time for maintaining their hygiene and some other personal things. If teachers were to assign three hours of homework each night, the student would not have time to do anything else and would be grounded in work. This is not healthy for the child and teachers should keep in consideration the schedule of students outside of schools and assign an adequate amount of homework.
