We Shouldn't Have Homework in the Middle School

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.

Your reasons are clearly stated and well organized. How did you end up with six paragraphs? Check your sentence structure-in more than one place they ran on further than they should. Your writing will improve when you correct this one issue, Caitlin.
