By the time we get home the day is almost over and we dinner and sports (Debate.org).” We have seven hours of school and when u get home with homework (tons) and you have dinner and sports so if we had less homework we would be able to eat dinner or eat late and no sports. On Scholastic news have parents interviewed about how less homework we should have.” What’s bad for” parents, is generally worse for kids.” School (for my son) is work,” one mother writes,” and by the end of a seven-hour workday, he’s exhausted. But like a worker on a double shift, he has to keep going once he gets home. (NEA Today).” Seven hours is a lot of the day working all day and we never stop five days a week and we have homework which is bad for us, it makes us tired.” Decades ago, the American Educational Research Association released this statement: “Whenever homework crowds out social experience, outdoor recreation, and creative activities, and whenever it usurps time that should be devoted to sleep (Scholastic news).” Kids need to play outside and have a social life they need to enjoy their free time but there is no free time because of all the homework.

After a week we found an apartment we can live in, I remember I was happy because my dad’s friend’s house wasn’t comfortable for four people to live in, he had a small one bedroom apartment so it wasn’t that much space for all of us to stay there. When we moved out to our new home I was so happy to learn new language, meet new friends, and go to new school I though it’s going to be easy to meet people and learn English but I was far from it. In school they put me in in special class called “ESL” which stands for English as a Second Language. In class they had a lot of students from different countries; such as Africans, Russians, Puerto Rican, Chinese, and on.
