Stress

For our assignment we chose upon the topic of education and stress that is caused by school. Now I learned from that school especially high school is a great source of stress in the student. Now I agree and I think most people agree upon this.

I remember seeing my high school as probably the number one source of stress to the students, even though family matters does cause stress, overall it mostly came from school. In a Statistics from article of USAtoday, 27% of the students say that they were extremely stressed out in high school in the past year. 55% said they were having moderate stress, and 13% said they had low level of stress. The problem with the stress is that many students don't know how to relieve stress effectively.
There was a video in DNews, about how much homework that students get now at a daily basis and how much stress students get from homework. Too much homework can negatively impact the students, more than 2 hrs of homework can cause those negative impacts onto students. These studies were done in California, with high level classes to low middle class schools with 93% of the students going off to a 4 year college.
The problem was that with these homeworks over 2 hrs is causing students to have less time with their families, learning social skills, playing games, and doing extracurricular activities. High school students are still not ready to be handled in that amount of stress, sure homework needs a bit of stress to get it done but the most comes from studying tests and then not being able to finish homework, causing lack of sleep.
I remembering having to sleep around 2-3 AM with most of my homeworks finished and then wake up at 7 AM to go to school. Apparently College students can handle the amount of stress, but not high schoolers, they need enough sleep in order for their brains to function properly for their memories.
Although homework is known to help education and further the ability of learning; too much can do harm to the students in return.

So what do you think, should teacher think more carefully about homework or do you think it is still enough for the students especially high schoolers.
