     Homework is something not many kids like, but some people think more homework would be good for kids. Many kids are struggling and need the extra help, were as others are coming home with too much of it. Getting a good education is good and teachers are giving more homework so that kids can get that. Getting a good education can help you a lot in life, but too much homework is bad for kids.
     The first reason kids should have less homework is because of family time. Kids are not spending enough time with their families because they are stuck doing homework. Spending time with your family brings you close together. Not spending time with your family is bad because it will feel like you are left out of your family.
    The next reason kids should have less homework is because kids are staying up too late. Too much homework is causing kids to stay up all night doing it. Kids also can wake up late and it will cause them to get sleepy during their morning class. Sleep is very important for kids too get and they need to get a good amount of it but cannot get any if they are doing homework.
     The last reason kids should have less homework is because it is too hard. Too much homework can also be too hard and that is a reason kids spend so much time on it and are not doing well. Some kids don’t even do their homework because there is too much and that can cause their grade to drop. Kids should not just hand in blank papers or incomplete papers and they should get the extra help.
          As students progress through their education they encounter more work. This requires more work than previous skills. Homework has gotten harder and it is becoming a bad thing for students. Students are not receiving enough family time and families are not becoming more close together. Staying up all night is becoming another bad thing because kids aren’t meeting the amount of sleep they should. Too much homework is also too hard and that is causing students grade levels to drop. Homework is important for kids, but too much homework can be a problem.

Artificial trees for Christmas

It is almost Christmas and that means putting up the Christmas decorations. One thing some people do is buy Christmas trees that are either artificial or real. I think people should buy artificial trees because they are less work than real ones. Real trees fall apart and you don't get to keep them for long, were as artificial trees don't make a mess and you can keep them for a really long time. Also all you have to do with artificial trees are put them together and then decorate, but if you had a real tree you would have to water it every once and a while. Another reason is a real tree might be too big and not fit perfectly were you want, but if you got an artificial tree you could get it at a smaller size that would fit were you want it.As you can see, real trees are more work compared to an artificial tree. So what will you choose, real or artificial?
