Homework and School Classes

          
          If I could design the school curriculum, I would definitely involve more art then academics. I would have things like social studies and science, because, personally, I enjoy learning about those subjects because they're important and interesting. I would like schools to teach optional dance classes. Dance is a good way to focus. I really think that dance is a fun way to exercise and get active. But of course, it would be optional because some people dislike dancing. My made-up school would also have a lot of art classes. Art is a fun and creative way for people to express themselves. Art is also something that I really value because there's so many different forms of it. For example, I like to paint and draw, but others might like other forms of art, such as sculpting or clay. It really varies depending on the person's interests. I believe that schools should have more sports and things to keep kids active. Sports are a fun way to spend time with friends, and it is a great way to exercise. Cooking classes would definitely be available. Cooking is something that is very useful to everyday life, in adulthood. I like learning about fun things, but also skills that I will need when I'm older. Cooking can also educate people about the histories of certain spices and such. Homework in all of these classes would be a fun activity that people don't dread, like regular homework.


         I strongly dislike homework. I believe that homework is helpful sometimes, but too much is just torture. A little bit is helpful and occupies me, not making me bored. But stressing over three hours of homework each night. And on the weekends, we get TONS of homework. I'm not even excited for the weekends anymore. Usually, I would have been thinking 'YAY, it's the weekend!' But now I think 'Ugh, it's the weekend, and I have so much homework!' If I could control the homework amount, we would have just enough to help us, not torture us.
