As students progress through secondary school, the amount of homework they receive can become

overwhelming. With multiple classes and assignments to complete, it can be difficult for students to
balance their workload and still have time for other activities.

Homework is an essential part of the learning process, but when there is too much of it, it can have
negative effects on students. It can lead to stress, anxiety, and even burnout. Many students find
themselves staying up late into the night trying to complete all their assignments, causing them to

copy answers from others just to get it done. This defeats the purpose of homework, which is to
