The Problem -Homework defines students in school and especially High School. - Students have about 6. 3 hours of school that takes majority of our time. - In our freetime we have to worry about what we have to do for homework, and doing that homework. -Many Students are athletes and we still have to do homework but, “ Aint Nobody Got Time For That!” -Think about this, we only have about 8 -11 hours of time to sleep depending what time you go to bed. -If a teacher can’t teach all the subjects then why expect a student to learn all of them?

What Does Homework Cause? -Obesity Loss of trees -Stress (Needed for paper) -Depression -Sleep Deprivation -Laziness -

What Can These Lead To? -Obesity can lead to diabetes and possibly cardiovascular disease. -Sleep Deprivation can lead to bad choices such as drugs, bad driving and even puts you at risk for heart attack. -Loss of trees can lead to less oxygen in the air and could lead to less habitats for the creatures around us. This could eventually lead to less herbivores and less food for carnivores to eat which would also lead to less food for us humans. - Chronic stress can lead to failure in every body system, raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, contribute to infertility, and speed up the aging process. -Untreated depression increases the chance of drug and alcohol addiction. It can also ruin relationships, cause problems at work, and even make it difficult to overcome serious illness. This could also cause loss of sleep and massive energy loss.

Solutions -No homework (Stop the stress caused completely) -Less homework (Reduced stress) -Digital Homework (Reduce Paper use for homework) -Make homework in to class work. -With no homework from school kids would be able to get more sleep, which could lead to them doing better while in class. -
