It got stolen. Ilost it. Some of the countless excuses given to teachers as reasons for late or incomplete homework. While some of the homework was really misplaced or left at home, a lot of the homework was not turned in due to lack of time or determination. Surprisingly enough, students have accepted homework as a nec- essary part of a class. Senior Jill Wheeler said, I feel like home- work is just another part of school. You either do it and pass, or don't and fail. Freshmen were forced to adjust to heavy demands in homework for their classes. There's a lot more homework in high school than 78 Nmewmk there was in middle school. Some- times I don't think I'll ever get it done said Allison Stewart The endless debate however centered on how much homework was too much While some stu dents believed that two hours of homework were too much others felt that they were lucky if only three hours were assigned Markus Sims said As soon as I get home I get started and work for about three hours I don t mind doing the work but just not so much of it Attitudes about homework were summed up by Lynn Driggers It s what you try to finish at school ignore on the weekends and try to do as little as possible Brltt Lunceford ff MWWM vertime Receiving help from Ke vin Chappell jenny Connolly works on her homework During lunch and before school students worked on homework sn the hbrary iPhoto by Gary Webb! his is homework?

' different yet logical view of homework was held by Tracy Ware a senior While she like other students, disliked doing a lot of her home- work, she realized this year the value of com- pleting it. r I 1 1? 2 5' Q 5 .

Almost all of them expected students to have above average grades, a good class ranking, and good teacher recommenda- tions along with an ac- ceptable SAT score. I suddenly realized that playing around and ne- glecting homework was going to catch up with me, said Tracy. racy felt that while the home- work assign- ments she ignored were not too difficult or time- consuming, she was do- ing something that she felt was more important. ow you do in high school de- termines the kind of college you go to. Doing homework is a very necessary part of school that shouldn't be neglected. I encourage all underclassmen to at least make an effort with homework. The student will appreciate his efforts later.
