personally, i'd rather stay on at school for an extra hour and get no homework at all, than to leave at 3:30 and get given shit loads to do! do they think we have no life at all? but the stupid thing is, if you moan about it to the teachers, all they say is that they have to do work at home, too - but correct me if i'm wrong here...surely, if they didn't give us homework in the first place, they wouldn't have as much work to do at home? they only have to spend their evenings marking it..so what's the point?? and they say they give us holidays...they're not holidays...we spend the whole break doing the work we were given at school! what's the point in giving us half term and summer holidays in the first place, if all they're gonna do is dump more on us? might as well stay on at school...grr! some people!!!
