Reasons homework and summer work should be banned:

7/11/2018

0 Comments

 

Sometimes in life, homework gets in the way. Teachers should not be able to give out homework because students cannot spend enough time with their family. Students have no time to have fun and students have responsibilities to do at home.

Homework causes depression, because giving children too much homework they get themselves in over there head, miss school, and fail classes.
​

“The thing about homework is that is doesn’t work. As shown by numerous studies, it brings no educational benefits, acts as a root cause of conflict between children, parents and teachers and has detrimental mental and physical effects on children that, by the fact that they’re avoidable, are absolutely inexcusable. Children are not the only ones to fear the evils of homework though. Teachers, under increasing amounts of pressure to meet targets, cover curricula and achieve grades, are incentivized to set more and more of it and grade more and more of it; something that wouldn’t be so bad if we weren’t so aware of its utter pointlessness.“ - listland.com

You will need:
Picture
Put a 1/2 cup of flour in a bowl, and put it in the microwave for about 2:30 minutes in 30 second intervals. That will heat treat the flour, so that you won't get sick. Now you melt half a stick of butter and add that into the flour. Then add a pinch of salt, and a pinch of baking no soda. Add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar. After that add a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 a tablespoon of milk. Then mix everything together. If you want to, you can add some chocolate chips. I only had baking chocolate, so I cut it up into small pieces and added that to my cookie dough. This cookie dough is great to eat by the spoonful, but if you want to, you can roll them into balls. Now you're done!

To make Hogwarts school supplies for your doll, you will need:

​ - Things to fill the mini bottles up with (I used moss, salt, pearl sprinkles, olive oil, dish soap, etc.)
- a pack of feathers (preferably the small feathers)

​First, you are going to put something in your mini bottles. (in the picture, I used moss)​
Picture
Next, you are going to take your feather, and cut it the shape you want your dolls quill.
Picture
Picture
Picture
And now take your off white/yellowish paper, or tea stained paper (coffee works too), you are going to cut the paper into 4"/8" pieces.
Picture
Next, you are going to curl the edges a bit because it's a roll of parchment. I didn't curl mine all the way, because I wanted them to look like it was unrolled.
Picture
And now you're done!

To make guacamole and chips for your doll you will

- a doll sized bowl

First, you cut the green craft foam into tiny squares.

And then add some glue and green paint.

Now, you can mix it until it looks like this.

If yours is more liquidy then you can add more peices of green craft foam. If yours is not like mine in the picture and is not as liquidy then add more paint or glue. After you are done with this, then you cut up peices of red craft foam and add a few on top to look like tomatos.

I made up a super easy to make dog treat recipe that is good
​ for your dog! If your dog can not eat wheat flour, then you
​ can substitute it for another flour.
​ You will need:
​ One cup of flour
Two tablespoons of peanut butter
​ One cup of flour (I used wheat)
One banana
​ (optional) shredded carrots
Mix all the ingredients together and then bake at 350 degrees F.
Please make sure you research the peanut butter you use,
​ because some peanut butters are bad for your dog.
