Writing Standards: Writing Informative Texts with Facts, Details, and Vocabulary (CCSS.W.5.1) Practice Test

Students should not have homework on weekends. First, weekends are when families spend time together. In our town, many teams play games on Saturdays, and some students visit grandparents on Sundays. Also, my teacher already assigns about 60 minutes of homework on school nights, so extra work piles up. For example, last Friday we had two worksheets and a reading log, and my friend missed his cousin's birthday to finish. As a result, kids rush through work instead of doing their best. Our class survey showed that most students feel stressed on Sunday nights because of homework. Instead, teachers could encourage reading for fun and let families plan activities. Weekends should be for rest and family time, not extra assignments.
