To hell with homework

This is the speech i had to right urrr... he u go!(?)

To Hell with Homework

For my campaign I decided to do something different. I wanted to do something that would affect more than just children, or the rainforest. I chose a campaign that would change the world and its inhabitants. So I decided to get rid of homework for good.
Now some when they hear this could be more than a little confused. “Is this really going to make the world a better place? How?” Well I shall explain: starting with the obvious.
Children all over the world hate homework. Children dread it in Denmark, abhor it in Australia and loath it in Luxemburg. If you remember when you first got homework you’ll know what I mean. Your sitting in the classroom, minding your own business, oblivious to the fact that your life is about to take a turn for the worst when, out of the blue, the teacher announces: “I think it’s time I set you some homework”
“What!” you think “Homework? School work at home?!” You look around at your classmates and they look the same way you feel – totally flabbergasted. We all know what it’s like, we’ve been there. Year after year the amounts of homework grows and grows until you’re overwhelmed by work and storm off (or go cry to your mum, depending on your character) and refuse to do another piece of homework ever again. Hardly any child likes it so why set it?
Life would be tons easier for teachers too. They would no longer have to think about what to give their class, who’s actually bothered to give their homework in and all the other things related to homework. Think of all the things they could do in their spare time! Cycling, aerobics, golf (*yawn*) or what ever it is that teachers do.
It would also benefit animals. Yup! You may think they are in no way related to the dreaded homework (lucky them) but they are and it isn’t doing then much good. Forest animals are losing their habitats to the loggers and homework isn’t helping. If you piled up all the homework a class of twenty seven got in their life it would reach all the way to the moon (well it would if the paper didn’t fly away into space due to lack of gravity!). Think of all the trees that would have to be cut down to satisfy the needs of that one class! And another way homework can affect animals is waste. How often do you think “Oh hello, this bit of homework has been flying around for at least five years now? I have no need for it. I think I’ll recycle it and be good for the environment!” Never, right? You look at it (maybe grunt a little) and chuck it straight into the bin. Rejoice the homework is gone it will never affect anything ever again!
Wrong.
Where does the rubbish end up? (Cover you ears/eyes if you hate learning) It is tipped into the rubbish truck and sent on a journey and then blah, blah, blah… Well to cut a long story short it ends up at a rubbish dump. These rubbish dumps are already overflowing with paper, plastic bottles, kitchen waste, false teeth, homework (yey!) and all the other junk we throw away. Animals can choke on this rubbish. Homework is killing animals!
The social lives of young children are taking a beating due to – yep you guessed it – homework! Children are spending more time indoors trying to do their homework (or trying to remember where they left it) than they are outside. I know that I’ve been told by my mum more than once that, if I don’t do my homework, I won’t be allowed to attend what ever social gathering (or “club” as normal people call it) that happens to be coming up. Has that ever happened to you? Do you want it to stop? Can this get any worse? Well, I tell you, it can get worse. Obesity. A simple but foreboding word that means: to be at least twenty percent over the individual’s normal body weight (trust me I looked it up). And homework could contribute to the deadly condition. Since you’re stuck inside doing the unspeakable work, you’re going to have less time to do exercise and keep yourself in shape.
So save yourself, and the world, before it’s too late. Join with me in my campaign and destroy this evil curse that is homework! TO HELL WITH HOMEWORK!
