Where have all the playing children
disappeared to? Growing up, my street was always filled with adolescents
enjoying their free time after dinner.
Whether they were playing tag, street hockey and or basketball, they
were always present. Unfortunately, over
the years all of that has changed.
Children are now bombarded with so much homework that their family life
and free time has eroded. Due to the
amount of homework received on a daily basis, students are not able enjoy their
time with their family/friends. They have lost their creativity due to the boring
rigor of routine homework. Lastly,
health related issues have arisen from the lack of physical activity, an
increase of stress and reduced sleep.
Students now have less time than
ever before to enjoy time with their family and friends.
Unfortunately, when faced with the
task of thinking for themselves, youth of today are not able to independently
think creatively.
Obesity is becoming a burden on our
healthcare system because children are not getting enough exercise.
Summary of your arguments. If schools do not do anything to alter the
pattern of ever increasing homework then as a society we will end up with lazy,
stressed out, obese zombies that will be a burden on our economy and health
care system.
