Theres no excuse for lazyness if it was up to me I would make school 7 days a week and extend the hours and homework. The youth of today wouldnt know working if it came up and slapped them with a wet fish. Sometimes I really think the human race is de evolving I could swear every year the youth look more and more like apes.
More schooling might be the only way to pull our country back from disaster as well as a forced enlistment in the Armed forces for a few years.

I believe it's time that adults finally listen to the youth and take there word for it that homework SUCKS. Therefore, teachers should not issue studying, homework etc. be done at HOME. School takes a large portion of our lives as it is, and half of our bloody day. So what I'm saying is that once school is over for the day - that is IT! No homework or anything to do with school until we go to school the next day. Studying for tests should only be done at school, period. Why do I think it should be this way? Because I believe this will SIGNIFICANTLY end students from skipping school. Homework = skipping school, no homework = ends skipping school significantly (not completely because of bullying etc. etc).
Take the message from the Media themselves for example, "ReFresh". They are telling employees to Relax more during lunch hour and STOP over working. Its the same thing with education. Get the point I'm trying to make?

I have a question for recent graduates and those still in high school:
When did the schools stop emphasizing the importance of spelling, grammar, and punctuation?
I'm not being sarcastic here. But I have never seen such mangling of the English language as I've seen from school-age kids today.
Is it that the schools are emphasizing math and science skills instead? Is that the situation?
