Dear Teachers, You expect so much out of children. We have homework everyday. Sometimes hours worth. You want us to get involved. Sports practices are typically 2 hours. It is already 5 and there are 3 hours of homework. It is now 8, I must eat dinner. Now it's 9, I should shower. Oh, it's 10, I should get to sleep. Why can't I ever hangout with my friends? School. Homework. Love, Serena.
