High-schools Give Students Way Too Much Homework.
Most students have to stay up to 1 or 2 a.m. To finish their homework, which is harmful to their health. You need sleep to grow.

It depends. But I remember that one instructor (not all are teachers, really) would give a lot of homework apparently not considering that they were not the only instructor students had. There are like, six. Again; it depends.

Yeah, it's bad for their learning to, the amount of sleep you get is linked to how well you learn.

At my high school we had class from 8am -3 pm and required sports from 3:30pm - 5:30pm. Each of our 6 classes was expected to assign us 45-60 minutes of homework each night. OBVIOUSLY it doesn`t take all of that time to do the homework but in order for all of the wonderful and bright kids of they future who read ahead and ask questions, it just makes it harder. They have to spend all they time doing homework that is expected and somehow find time to read ahead. The bar just keeps getting raised on these innocent young knowledge lovers and it`s not fair! Kids who don`t do homework wouldn`t do it anyway so the ONLY people who are getting hurt by more homework are the innocent young knowledge lovers! Please, bleeding heart liberals, stop homework from destroying the hopes and dreams of these...these...American Heroes. *snob*

Probably because they give themselves too many teacher training days.

As a high school student with Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) classes, Froggy must disagree. For someone with the amount of work Froggy has to do in her classes she manages to get to bed at around 11, and that's only because she has to watch 4 younger tadpole-siblings.

If Froggy were to start her homework right after a quick snack and moment to freshen up from the school day that she could probably finish it sooner. For those with regular classes it's most likely a lot easier than what she does so they should be able to do it in less time.

If they are struggling and that's what keeps them up than Froggy thinks they either need to pay attention in class or ask for some peer help.

Froggy is not overly smart so she has the right to say it, she also doesn't get straight A's she keeps a C average and a lucky A in english.

1-2am? I'm sorry but if your stay up that late you have time management issues or a learning disability.

More learning please.
