Unlike most of his classmates, he isn't too excited that school is almost over; instead, he's actually dreading it. Three days a week, including today, Devon must go to the nephrology center at his local hospital, where he spends four hours hooked to a machine that filters toxins from his blood. Sadly, like nearly 100,000 other Americans, Devon suffers from chronic renal failure and awaits a new kidney, one which may never come. Organ transplantation has become incredibly successful in recent years, and, as a result, so has the demand for healthy organs.
To exemplify this, my friend Joe was assigned three hours worth of homework last week…and that was only math! Placing hours of homework upon the fragile and developing brains that will be the future of America would be a crime in itself.

Homework is like a tsunami; you can try hard but you cannot avoid it.
