I think teachers should not assign homework on weekends. Weekends should be spent relaxing and spending time with family. Having homework on weekends can lead to stress, burnout, and a negative impact on mental health.
Homework on weekends leads students to stress. Students feel constant pressure to complete their homework when they should be having fun or relaxing. Constant worrying about completing assignments and getting good grades is overwhelming for students, and they need time to recharge. Students already have plenty of homework to do during the week, so why should we have it on weekends too?
Weekends are essential for resting, spending time with family and friends, and hobbies. Homework decreases this time a lot. Homework can cause stress and burnout, and if students spend their weekend homework-free, they can finally get a break after a long week. Homework also negatively impacts students’ mental health. If students spend a long time doing homework, they can lose hours of sleep, which is necessary to perform well in school. Students also might not get time to relax, which is also bad for mental health.
