Homework? a»a»a»r»r r»g»h! I give homework because it ' s im- portant to be able to study in an envi- ronment the students enjoy, said Mr. Greg Swenson, English teacher, a can of pop, a few tunes and easy access to the refrigerator. Unfortunately for students who dis- agreed with his philosophy, two hours of homework per class weekly was re- quired by the Moreno Valley Board of Education. Some students, including Kari Spo- lestra, felt that the district ' s policy was unfair. According to Spolestra, Home- work is a bore. I think students should study just as much as they need to get good grades. Not all of two hours a week per class is really necessary. 1 think that a student should be able to choose the amount of time to spend on homework, Nicole Ladson agreed, whether it be 30 minutes, an hour or however long it takes to get it down. In contrast to those students who disliked homework, there were some who saw its value. I like homework because it helps me to do better in school, Portia Irvin said. I don ' t mind doing homework, Myrh Lee Saria conceded. Teachers have to teach other ways beside just in class. Appreciated or not, homework was a frequent part of Cougar life.
