No Homework on Weekends: A response essay

           I have one response to this: an unfaltering Y-E-S!

           No home works on weekends? I couldn't agree more, I feel you to whoever you are!

          Written in a simple and entertaining language, this essay written by a co- high school learner is highly relatable to elementary, high school and college students alike.

           The author is pretty strong on his stand against home works on weekends as he presents multiple well- articulated arguments that contest the reasons why there should be. His points are also hard to disagree with and will definitely compel you to somewhat "debate" with your teacher when he makes you do this and that on a Friday or any last day of an ultra hectic week.

           For example, some claim that giving home works on weekends is a must, so that the brain continues to run and "work out". But, the author fights that thought by saying that weekends are the best time to do sports and exercise, however, having home works to accomplish, stops students from going outside to play, therefore, they end up becoming fat.

          Next, the essayist argues that though home works on weekends develop responsibility and great working habits on students, it is nevertheless, better to do school work at school because of better equipment and concentration there for at home, it is challenging to ask our teachers and classmates questions for clarification and it is harder to focus at home when all you can think about is playing computer games or sleeping the whole day.

          Furthermore,  there are also those who say that spending time doing homework on weekends does not hurt anyone and that students have a lot of free time anyways, to spend however they want. In spite of this, the writer still gets to defend his stand by pointing out that that free time on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays should be for family time like watching a movie with your siblings or going to the mall with your family and to rest and recharge for the week ahead.

          
The reasons the author has given are logical and convincing and the whole thing is undoubtably "HUGOT." So, I just hope that the piece will really grab the hearts of those teachers who just love making their 'an inch near to zombie' students cry every Friday... :( HAHAHAHUHUHU

           But seriously, no home works on weekends please!
