How Beneficial Is Homework? The Pros and Cons.


Natalie's Podcast

About Me: 

Welcome to my blog! My name is Natalie Chaidez and I'm a sophomore at Fenton High School. I'm in Accelerated English 2, and my teacher is Mrs. Pahl. For this class project, I chose to make my podcast about homework. As a student, I often hear many comments and opinions on homework, and deal with homework myself on a daily basis. I'm in some sports and clubs outside of school, such as volleyball, softball, student council, and NHS, which sometimes makes for a busy schedule with homework. I thought to share some of my ideas and statistics I found and talk about the pros and cons of homework. 


                                                                                   

Pitch:

Do you ever find yourself stressing about loads of homework, or staying up late just to complete it?


 Many teenagers today, complain about the stress caused by heavy amounts of homework and how homework takes a toll on their mental and physical health. 











So this leads to the question, does homework do more harm than good?
Or rather, does it shape us to become better students and more intelligent?


In this episode of “How Beneficial is Homework?”, we dive into these topics with students themselves. We discuss the pros and cons of homework, how the students personally feel about it, and how they believe it should be dealt with.

Isaac's Podcast- School Causes Stress on Teens (Ep.1)

School causes stress on teens Podcast Pitch And welcome back to Isaac's podcast, so stress and school. Man those two things match so perfectly. Stress brings such worry, such anxiety. Many kids struggle and try to cope with it but they always seem to fail because they always aim for perfection yet don't succeed at that. They struggle their whole life because they were so focussed on getting that A in high school. They were so focussed on getting the work done, instead on focusing on what life really matters. The school system it just, things are due, there are due dates in school and kids try to meet those standards but they have sports, they have families, they want to have fun, they don't want to spend their young years worrying, but they end up worrying, and stressing, and thats the sad truth. ⇩Link Below⇩ https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q9CfDFBpJ8pcEEAu9FKOS_kCLiuYhyB5  Sources cited:  http://web.b.ebscohos...

WHAT THE TRUMP?! The Teenage Thoughts on the Donald Trump Presidency

Image
Teenagers and Trump The most controversial man in America happens to be our president.  Donald J. Trump, the United States' 45th president, split America into  two halves. While many people (about half the United States) agreed  with him and his proposed political agenda, he still managed to draw lots of  controversies.   Is Donald Trump doing anything wrong? Are the American people being over-dramatic towards his presidency? Maybe it isn’t that Trump is doing a bad job, but that the American people are still caught up in that he managed to beat Hillary? Rather than having adults answer these questions, maybe it’s time that kids share their opinions because the only opinions we ever get are old stinky adult ones. Find out in this episode of Arekcast, with your host Arek Gadomski, as we gather information from teenage High-school students on our president and discuss controversial topics regarding him.
