From the voice of a child regarding Public Schools

Do you believe schools are crazy now?

As a student, I believe that school is getting crazy. I am only in 7th grade and I am only 12. My usual homework is two pages of vocabulary, a worksheet or two in spanish, textbook work in science, a packet or project in social studies, and two pages in math. We have 7 hours of school plus you should add 4 hours to make sure you study and complete everything. That is a total of 11 hours. That is almost a whole day. Then they say that Americas kids are obese. Well, no wonder. We are sitting in desks all day for 6-7 hours and 4 more hours at home. My friend also was just diagnosed with sculiosious (spelling) because her backpack was too heavy. I am afraid I have the same thing because I have horrible pains in my back and shoulders. Do you agree with me?
