Saying No to Homework

Why is homework not schoolwork? The average student will go to school for seven to eight hours a day, five times a week. And still when we finally get the chance to go home, we are welcomed with more work? You go to school to learn, that learning should be kept in school. Teachers giving out homework at the end of class with little to no work time just drags students stressful situations home with them. Going home should be a time where you can relax and not worry that you got all your homework completed for the next day.
