Dear Rebecca,
I am Interested in your post, “Should Schools give summer Homework?”, because I also agree that schools should not give summer homework just for the main reason that during the school year enough homework is given to students and that causes stress so if having even more work during the summer is something that shouldn’t be allowed.
One sentence that stood out to me is, “For these reasons, I considered that it is important and necessary for students’ minds to begin a school year fresh and rested, without summer homework, rather than stressed or burned out because of it.” I think this is interesting because students should be able to have that freedom of not having no homework or to have that time in summer to focus on themselves and to have a break with no homework.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because I could tell that you know what you are doing. Your thoughts are very interesting and your vocabulary is something I admire about your writing.
