Could the school cut us some slack?

Hmm, let me count, we should have about 13 e-learning worksheets? 

And every teacher only think's for him/her self. If you tell one teacher :" but other teachers alrdy gave us a lot of hwk", the teacher would probably tel you, thn why can't you ask other teachers to give u less hwk thn? OH for goodness sake!

Yes, we have three days to complete this homework, BUT EARTH to teacher, we actually have tests to study for, of which one of them is Chinese, which is on Friday, which i've kindly asked to be postponed to monday, due to various reasons, of which mostly because i can freaking barely cope with the load of homework we actually have to complete by Friday. But NO, we cant postpone the  freakin' test, and you know why? Coz the teacher said so.

Teachers' favourite line:" Your marks arent everything."

Ya right, then wht do we study for? to gain more knowledge? OH please. Cut the crap.

Teachers tell you to work harder, but hve they ever stopped to think that with the amount of homework we have, we don't actually have the time to WORK HARDER. well of course unless u actually study till the wee hours of the early morning, which i believe most of us, not only are unwilling to do, but also would not hve the energy to do so.

We have make up lessons, tuition, CCA's...

And they say they understand, coz  they've been through the stage...thn agn, i dun think that they had as much homework as we are being given now.

We sit there for hours, just trying to complete our work, and for each subject, we may spend hours. The tedious counting we have to do just for maths.

For example, matrices.

The amount of counting we have to do is unbelievable, and what is worse is, we have a part (1) worksheet than comes along with a Part(1) assignment, thn comes the Part(2) worksheet with the Part(2) assignment. WOW, and it goes on and on...the never ending homework.

And to top it off, it is SHOCKINGLY boring.

When we tell parents that we're stressed, they'll say " You never even study, stress wht? "

Yes, i agree, i didnt study a lot, i didnt put in my 100% effort in my work, but how do u expect me to, when all i have to think about all day is, " I still have lots of homework to complete. Do have a test tmr? How many chapters do we have to study? "

Stress doesnt necessarily have to amount due to how much we study, but it is caused because we have to actually complete every single piece of work.

Some Teacher's give us a few days grace, and trust me, we're grateful for tht, but sometimes, we just cnt cope.

Imagine a typical day for an average child, we get up at 5:30? We have classes till 3? thn we have our CCA's till abt 6? And for basketballers, even later. By the time we get back, bathe, eat dinner, it will probably be about 7:30. 

In the midst of doing our work, maybe half the time, we're actually too tired to think. and when 11 o'clock reaches, we may not have finished out work, but we're alrdy half dead. SO we decide to go to sleep.

In the morning, when we go to school, we copy the unfinished homework. And teacher's tell us, that it doesnt help us, and WE KNOW, but wht choice do we have? Either to pass up our work, get a zero for that assignment, or to go for detention. So wht do we choose?

It would be nice, to have the march holidays, to relax a little. And i'm absolutely sure, we'll get tons of homework then.
