Persuasive Writig

This term we have been learning how to write a persuasive piece of writing . This is my persuasive about why children shouldn't have homework.

Every night all across the world children sit down at a table or desk and work through their homework. Trying to get it all done so they can watch tv or read a book. Barely able to concentrate because they can hear the sounds of the tv or their siblings playing outside while they’re stuck inside doing work. So today I’m going to tell you why we should ban the most dreaded torture for children. Homework.

Firstly, children work hard at school so why should they have to come home and do more work. They should have time to relax and do what they want. Whether that is reading a book or climbing a tree. Kids should have freedom after school. Some kids like homework so it should be available to them. Whereas other hate it with a passion.

Secondly, many children have after school activities like sport.This means they don’t have much time to do their homework. Kids that have lots on stress about if they’ll get it done. If homework was banned it kids that are busy wouldn’t worry about homework.

Thirdly, homework is soooooooo boring. It’s usually just the same thing you’re learning at school. So you’re just doing the same thing over and over. Your homework is probably what you did at school that day. You would want a break from that work and also let the information sink in.

As well as this, homework can keep you up late. This is really bad as you need at least ten hours of sleep a night. So if you’re up late doing homework it is bad for you. The next day you’ll probably be cranky which will annoy your parents. This can lead to upsetting your whole family.

Lastly, homework can make you antisocial. After school kids should be able to spend time with their families. But instead they have to do homework. If it's a nice day they should be able to go outside and play with their siblings or parents outside. Or if its a rainy day they should be able to snuggle up in front of the tv with a cup of hot chocolate.

Some schools have banned homework for their younger students. This is a step towards banning homework for good. The school that first banned it said they wanted kids to go home, play outside, eat dinner with their families and go to bed early. This proves that there are some teachers out there that think homework is bad for kids and that we need to ban it.

As you’re a probably a kid that reading this you’re more than likely nodding your head in agreement. Is this because you’re really busy or because you hate homework. But you could be one of the kids that likes homework. Whoever you are remember you should have freedom after school, the right to push yourself to play sport, spend time with your family and generally have fun.
