Just listen to us

Homework kills trees

Hello,
We think that schools should hand out less homework and this is why.

Schools give out lots of homework between 50 states and at least 100 schools in each state if not more, and if each day you get 2 sheets of homework then that's 10,000 sheets of paper per day!! and most people don't get only 2 sheets of paper sometimes it is anywhere between 1 and 50 sheets of homework each night also that would only be if that was 1 kid in each school generaly there are 200 or more so that is not 10,000 but 20,000,000.

That is not our main argument though. Schools enforce  and teach us that trees and environments are disappearing and even that we should conserve paper. But where do you think a lot of trees go to? they go to schools that use it to give to kids that they could just as easily make an email. this email of homework would save trees and money so the school can stop worrying about trees and also have a little left over money to do fun things with like field trips.

so schools, you should just send kids home with less homework or the homework in a different form.

  2. I agree that we should have home work kills trees. I like the idea of emailing the home work but not everyone has an email account. Abby
