Have you ever had a homework assignment that just made you so angry you wanted to give up? Well don’t worry, you’re not alone. This happens a lot, especially in the troubling times of high school. I interviewed a few teachers and students to find out what homework assignments really grinded their gears……

Sara Treat: TL’s immigration project: “ I didn’t really know a lot about my great grandfather so I had to go online to figure out about my great grandfather, so it took me a lot longer than I thought.”

Meghan Cherry: gym homework: “I hate gym homework because it makes gym class like every other class in school with homework instead of fun, like gym is supposed to be.”

Ben Grieco: math homework: “It’s hard to understand and very frustrating.”

Mrs. Izzo: any English assignment: English wasn’t her favorite class and she had to write essays that she really didn’t want to write.

Everyone has a homework assignment that is hard and makes them frustrated at least once in their life, but homework is an important part of education and is needed to succeed.
