We need a ban on the amount of homework given per night. Studies have shown that large amounts of homework does not help students, but actually hurts them by causing them stress and depriving them of sleep. Many students are given four or five hours of homework per night, but that is way to much. Homework should be required to follow the 10 minute rule: 10 minutes of homework per night per grade. A first grader would get ten minutes of homework per night, a ninth grade would get 90 minutes. This needs to happen soon, because we are hurting student by giving so much homework!
