In the article Does Homework work? states that that when the kids get frustrated they lose the interest of doing home work and don't want to do it because, they feel like there never going to get it right and under stand it. Like when your mom or dad don’t get algebra or science they can’t help you with it and u just give up on it, and you just get more frustrated with it.

In the article Does Homework Work? states in the first grade you should study 10-20 minutes and add 10 minutes to every grade as you go up. This means juniors would have 110 minutes of studying. I think this is stupid because some of us have jobs and don't get off till 9 or 10 o'clock. Adding almost 2 hours at the end of the night doing home work means less sleep for students and they come to school all tired and don't pay attention in class causing them to not understand what the teachers are teaching. I would say no home work for kids.

Problems with cheating happen more than just on the student levels. The article I read Experts Divide on Responses to Cheating, the author talks about entire school systems cheating on standardized test to make their school look better. Schools are under pressure to have good test results, just like individual students are, because some state funding is based off of school performance. Some states send monitors from the state education department to schools to observe testing to insure honesty and so there is no cheating. I think this is ridiculous that schools are that desperate to do such a thing. This kind of messes with the students when they get their test results back because it tells them “oh I did good in this subject”, or they think, “oh if I can do good in this subject I’m going to do this when I get older.”

I think banning books is wrong what if we want to read it. If it is for racial stuff it has that it shouldn't be banned because it is just showing how us Americans acted back in the day. I think were old enough to handed sexual stuff.
