Introduction
1: We have lot's of stuff to do, like studying for tests.
2: Homework reduces our free time
3: Doing homework makes us not want to go to school
Conclusion
Having homework in the middle school is hard. In elementary there wasn't much. Younger siblings almost always have more freetime because they have less homework.
The reasons we SHOULDN'T have homework are the following:
1: We have lots of things to do, including studying for tests.
When we are studying for tests we don't want to finish feeling really proud to realize that there's more homework to do. Or when we finish our homework then we have to study for tests.
2: Homework reduces freetime.
When we get home we want to take a break from school and anything that has to do with numbers or hard words. We want to take a break and come back in about half an hour. When we come back we normally have at least 1 to 1 and a half hours of homework. Sometimes more, we always wish we were anywhere else. No matter how easy it is, it will always take a while, then when we finally finish we have to do other things, like tidy our rooom.
3: Doing homework makes us not want to go to school.
When we do homework and we're not sure about it, or it's too messy but we didn't have time to do more, we don't want to go to school and learn, because once we get confused, it takes us forever to understand. Also we don't want to go to school with a pile of homework and exchange it for more, we have more than 2 classes per day and we have lots or homework.
Therefore homework shouldn't be in the middle school, middle school should be a break from doing work at home, we should do homework in elementary and highschool.
Of course we should still do work in school we just shouldn't get more work to do at home. Lot's of people do things like soccer training and other things, lots of parents want kids to do homework then play soccer or other activities. We don't think it's fair and we shouldn't have to do this stuff.

Dog up for Adoption - FREE!
Shiloh is a beagle. She is two years old and she likes playing tug-a-war. We are selling Shiloh and we want to find a good home before we leave.
The reasons you should buy Shiloh is:
She's quite small so she would be fine in a small apartment, but don't expect a dog as small as a Chihuahua. She's just under a metre in height.
She's very cuddly if you want a big hug Shiloh will happily come to you.
She's really playful. If you're an active person she'll be a great dog for you. But she know's when it's time to settle down.
Those are also the reason's we want a good home for her. She is a great dog and she doesn't deserve to be treated badly. She takes up about 50 rp per week. We hope that she'll get lot's of hugs and get's played with lot's. She likes small kids and is okay with strangers.
We hope you buy her and give her a good home and give her lot's of love.
Please call:

My Passion
I'm passionate about gymnastics because it makes me feel really flexible and I like the way I can bend into lots of positions that other people can't. I also like it because of how I feel when I do something scary and avoid hurting myself.
It makes me feel like I've accomplished something,and that I'm doing something that would look like you would need a stunt double in a movie. Like for instance. A backup circle, I learnt it in 4th grade but I still find it scary if I haven't done it for a while. It's being on the bar and doing a back flip without taking your hands off the bar.
I love doing it, and I love doing gymnastics.
If I had gymnastics taken away from me I would be so upset and I would probably do what I could to get it back. Even if I permanently injured one of my legs, i would probably just work and work until i got better and better at walking then I'd go back to gymnastics.That's my passion.

D'Tempis
The hurricane was definitely hitting the cay by then. The wind was cold and strong. Timothy stood holding the frame of the hut together for as long as possible. Phillip lay in the sand sheltering Stew Cat under him. Phillip heard a splintering sound, the hut had blown away. Timothy yelled "To d'palm," and they ran pushing with all their force against the strong winds.
They got to the palm, and Timothy helped Phillip put his arms under the rope that was tied around the tree. Timothy stood with his back to the wind, taking the full force of the storm and sheltering Phillip. They must have stood there for about an hour being battered by the rain and debris. Finally the wind died down and everything was calm. Timothy yelled "d'eye, we be safe for a while!" They both sat down and rested.
Phillip thought what he knew about hurricanes and remembered that all hurricanes have a calm eye in the middle. After about twenty or thirty minutes the wind picked up sharply. Timothy yelled to stand up. They stood up and again tied themselves to the palm. It was even worse the second time. The water rose higher and higher, then a huge wave swept over them. It must have been about half as high as the palm tree. Phillip choked and struggled. Just as he was about to take a breath another wave swept over them. Phillip lost consciousness and he thought that Timothy did too.
When Phillip woke up Timothy was lying beside him. "Timothy" Phillip said. But Timothy didn't answer. Phillip turned over and put his ear near Timothy's mouth. Timothy was still breathing. Although Phillip was blind he could still work and started untying the ropes binding Timothy to the tree. After about half an hour Timothy was free.
Then Timothy woke up, "Philleep...you...alright?... Be true?..."
"I'm okay Timothy"
"Terrible tempis" Timothy mumbled and went back to sleep. Phillip knew there was little he could do. So he held Timothy's hand, he knew it helped a lot.
Phillip then fell asleep and in the morning, when he woke, put his hand back in Timothy's. It was cold and stiff. Timothy of Charlotte Amalie was dead.
Phillip didn't cry, there were times when he was beyond crying.
