Students shouldn’t have homework because it causes kids to become bored, it also takes so long that kids don’t have time for themselves  and also it can get you frustrated if you work on it for too long.Common homework assignments may include a quality or period of reading to be performed writing or typing to be completed, problems to be solved, a school project to be built, such as a diorama or display, or other skills to be practiced says the wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.  
Since when did homework become closer to you than your parents?
            Homework is like your best friend you have to treat it with respect. I don’t think there is a person in the world who at least didn't want to do homework once. It’s boring and it kills trees. I always here adults cheering help the environment, well if they want to help the environment don’t give us paper homework.
             It would be better for us to do our homework on the computer. Also it’s not fair if a teacher gives you so much homework for one subject and the rest of your teachers give you a regular size. If they do that there is no time for us, kids, to have time to our selves and sometimes you’re up all night just doing homework and I don’t think that’s fair.
              But I know why teachers give us homework, and they have a good reason for doing it too. They want to make sure we understood what was going on in class because when the state test comes up they’re not allowed to help you. They  also give it for extra help or practice in case you don’t fully understand.  Ask your teachers why they give you homework they might have a different reason, then post the reason as a comment.
                Too much homework can get you frustrated if you work on it for too long. You first get confused so much that you get angry. If you have had nothing to eat or snack on you can get frustrated. Frustration can also be caused by you working yourself to hard. Frustration can also be caused by not understanding the question you are working on. It can also make you mad or upset to the whole day.
                  Over the last decade and half, children as young as nine to eleven have seen a nearly forty percent increase in homework, a trend that is likely to continue according to www. alternet.org.  Unfortunately, this remedy may be doing our children more harm than good. If  you over work yourself you can become bored of homework.
                   Homework takes so long that you don’t have 

time for yourself. Based on real life experiences I know that when I’m doing my work I spend most of my day figuring out problems, writing, or playing my instrument. It’s not right for teachers to give us extra homework when they know we get homework in other classes, which just mean extra work. Now I know people like to go on the computer to their favorite sites  but students aren't going to get the chance to do that type of stuff with so much  homework . Based on my information you can probably tell that homework can make you become bored.

Abe Lincoln

 Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln is who made the U.S what it is today. He was our sixteenth president of the United States.In addition he was also inspirational. My topic is about what Abraham Lincoln did to change this country. Abraham Lincoln is a leader, believes in what he says and is very kind.  
Abraham Lincoln is a great influence, because he was a leader. He preserved the union during the civil war. He is also a leader because one time he went to the store to buy something then he noticed that the cashier paid him an extra cent, and with that he walked miles just so he could pay her back. Lastly Abe Lincoln is a leader because he has never lied in his life. Abe Lincoln is a leader believes in what he says and is very kind.
   Abraham Lincoln also believes in what he says. He said these three quotes. “I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.A house divided against it cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved - I do not expect the house to fall - but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.I want every man to have the chance - and I believe a black man is entitled to it - in which he can better his condition, when he may look forward and hope to be a hired labourer this year and the next, work for himself afterward, and finally to hire men to work for him. That is the true system.”
   Lastly Abraham Lincoln is very kind. He gave the slaves freedom. He treated people the way he wanted to be treated which was for people to be nice to him and with respect. And he always said please and thank  you whenever he received something or asked for something. 
 Abraham Lincoln is a great leader, believes in what he says and is very kind. One day I hope everyone can follow Abe's leadership, he's way of believing in what he says and most especially I hope everyone could be kind like Lincoln, not judging people for the color of their skin, their religion, or anything. If the world followed in his footsteps nobody would every criticize negatively again.
