Dear every teacher to ever live,
I do thank and praise you for your help with many new things in many new subjects, but to be completely honest half of you can’t even teach which I may also remind you is your job. So, we students have to come to school early every morning, on week-days of course, and sit in a class for 6 hours and 23 minutes where we aren’t even learning what we are supposed to, due to your inability to teach anything. Then you proceed to charm us with 4 hours of homework, per class I may add. Just to add on, teachers and colleges expect after-school activities too. So, if you expect us to be able to complete hours of homework per night, study, and do a sport during the noon time and then wake up at 6:00 in the morning with a positive mood, you’re a delusional dreamer. Not to mention, we also have to maintain a healthy weight and physical appearance in order to meet expectations set for us. Also we are supposed to make time to hangout with our friends, otherwise we are “socially-awkward”.
For a 14-18 year old to have to deal with that many things during each and every week is extremely stressful and overwhelming. The stress can build up along side the sleep and energy loss and can make for a very unhealthy unhappy teenager, and it is all your fault. How does that make you feel? You could easily try to rebuttal my argument yet it would be pointless because it wouldn’t be valid. I respect that teachers want the best for their students and can sometimes be one of the best support systems for students, but ever think that they are the ones causing most of the teens’ problems? I have and I think that they do. So, please reconsider the amount of homework you give to your students because they are already under a huge amount of stress and they do not need any more added to it.
Sincerely,
Noah Taffah
