By Debbie Gingerich Whe asked what their opinion was on school homework, surjinsingly. a group of Syracuse high school juniors answered emphatically thev were for it. and one teem felt that there wasn ' t i enough! .As this girl stated. “When we get to college, we will have tons of books to study each night If homework isn’t stressed in hisi sciiool, we will be tost in college. Out of the 28 students polled. 18 : were for homework, six answered an emphatic “no." and four thought homework is “not so bad.” One boy wrote, “I don’t like homework .. but I do it because it’s the only way to get anywhere ” Those who agreed they were definitely against it gave such reasons as jobs, which leave little < time for homework, and little time for outside activities. However, all of the six gave the same solution as this girl who said, “It is ok. with me to have homework during the week but for gosh sakes, not iover the week end!” Another solution given by a teenaged boy was, “The teacher should allow time at the end of the period ■ for study: at least 10-15 minutes. For the most part, students believe in homework and expect it. I and one bov summed it up by saying, “You never get enough learning and you never have enough time while you're in school. Learning is important and wasted time at home doesn’t help yw learn anything except how to be bzy " Wade Stephenson Completes Advanced Artillery Training FT. SILL. OKLA. — Private Wade E.
