Homework is Silly - letter to Mr G

Dear Mr G,

Homework should be banned from the world!! It’s a big waste of time, waste teachers time and also it wastes money!

Firstly, homework should be banned because it is the biggest waste of time ever! Kids could be having fun in the clean fresh air they really need instead of being stuck inside! They could be inventing wonderful things that could be needed in the future. Or they could be out and about trying new things that you could never imagine!

Secondly, it’s a waste of paper, ink. Worst of all, teachers time. The teachers print a lot of sheets, (that means cutting down a lot of trees) for the kids and a the majority of them don’t bother to do it so that wastes paper and ink! The teachers could be at home with their family instead of being stuck in one place marking homework! Their head might blow up with all the marking and information they gather!

Lastly, homework wastes a lot of  money!  Homework wastes money because the teachers print loads of sheets with ink on it and then some of the kids don’t even bother to do their homework! So that wastes ink and money that the school had to pay for. Over the year, the school pays a lot of money for all the paper and ink! That money could go towards camps, trips etc;.

All the kids would agree with me that homework should be banned! It is a big waste of time, waste of paper and money! I can’t wait for your reply!

Kind Regards,

Janine.
