home work is not important cuzz kids need to explore the world so when they get older they know where they are kids also need to play outside cuzz its healty for them to braete air also when kids are in class they do verry much cuzz most lessons during 45 minutes and in the 45 minutes the need to focus the whole time and than they have verry much subjects on a day so for example somone has 6 lessons a day and only 2 braeks of an half hour al the lesson al to gether th`t are 270 minutes in a day and when they come home there wil expected from them to make home work help their parents witch cleaning or somthing and than they need to eat and then they have home work again and they go to bed at 11 am or pm idk but that is not good

Homework is not important, because kids need to explore the world. So that when they get older, they know who they are.
Kids also need to play outside because it is healthy for them to breathe fresh air.
Also, when kids are in class, they do a lot because most lessons are 45 minutes. In these 45 minutes, they need to focus the whole time. They have many subjects in a day. For example, someone has 6 lessons a day and only 2 breaks of half an hour: all the lessons together are 270 minutes in a day.
When they come home it will be expected of them to do homework, help their parents with cleaning, or something else. Then they need to eat and then they have homework again before they go to bed at 11 pm, which is not good.

In my opinion we dont need homework because we are at school for 8 hours a day from early in the morning until in the middle of the day and i think that if we finish it in the lessons it would be much better for the kids because we dont need more time out of school to do schoolwork because we have a life of our own and if i have homework i cant hang out with friends as much and that stops me from getting the social capabilitys that i need because i whould be in my room all the time and i whouldnt be able to make new friends or something.Also it is very stresfull because if i have a deadline and i need more time it makes me sleep less and do less good in school so its very stresfull for most people and that is worse than doing a little more work in the lessons.

In my opinion, we don't need homework, because we are at school for 8 hours a day: from early in the morning until the middle of the day. I think that if we finish it during the lessons, it would be much better for the kids because we don't need more time out of school to do schoolwork. We have a life of our own, and if I have homework, I can't hang out with friends as much. That stops me from getting the social capabilities that I need. I would be in my room all the time, and I wouldn't be able to make new friends or something. Also, it is very stressful because if I have a deadline and I need more time, it makes me sleep less and do less well in school. So, it's very stressful for most people, and that is worse than doing a little more work in the lessons.

Rules for Using Commas
Ah, the comma. Of all the punctuation marks in English, this one is perhaps the most misused. And it’s no wonder. There are lots of rules about comma usage, and often the factors that determine whether you should use one are quite subtle. But fear not! On this site, you’ll find guidance for the trickiest comma questions.
