  • please make no homework the 28th amendment.

  • This kid is right. I have hardly ever done homework while in school, and I would never pressure my kids to do it either.

  • Exactly.. I mean we have about 7-8 hours of school, whats the point of homework?

  • this kid goes to my school he's in 8th now

  • Awsome kid

  • Other option.... Just bloody do it, it's not pleasant nor it seem to have a point but those are the rules wether we think it's right or not, we have to do it. It's alot eaiser said than done. So if you have to do something just always try your best or on your own judgement.

  • @popcornfilms1 yes, spend the rest of you childhood doing homework which eventually starts to interrupt studying time, and getting an un natural amount of stress in kids, leading to things like suicide, and school takes over our whole life and our childhood is based on school... i can see kids in the future get even more homework (time goes by, next generations continue to get more than us) not have time for physical exercise!

  • @MrRobloMan I totaly agree but what I was saying is what can we do? Even after what this kid has done, I suspect most schools haven't looked twice at what he's saying.

  • it keeps you up with your studies you fucking idiots

  • "homework is athined to uth without our permithion, thuth it is thlavery." Ok, If you are going to try to abolish homework, make sense out of it.

  • I need to write a 2-3 page research paper about quincy jones.... naaahh

  • I've been trying this for 5 freaking years.

  • hahaha this kid is gonna make my life amazing :) && who in the world does 2 hours of homework ? ......

  • "so cute hahaha" The thing is: HES RIGHT

  • This kid is awesome No Homework!!!

  • thumbs up if your doing homework :D

  • @domi360parke "you're doing homework"

  • @DoMadrid  Yep :D

  • @domi360parke I'm glad you received it in the right spirit. I always make the mistake of using "lead" instead of "led."

  • 2 hours of homework aday...

    Yeah righttt...

  • I wrote a 4 page report on why HW is a bad thing, and am getting a petition signed.Some people at my school almost WORSHIP me because of what I am doing. Im not against education, school & schoolwork is totally necessary, I am trying to help our schools by ending this practice of HW thatbrings our grades down. I walk around at lunch, between periods, and even stay after school to get my petition signed. I am up to 6 pages of signatures. Wish me luck, I may one day liberate you from homework!

  • Haha, wait until he hits high school.

  • My left ear hates homework.

  • hahahaha principal....it was voltaire who said that, not patrick henry.....thus disproving your point that homework is beneficial. homework: 0 ben:1

  • Dudee... I'm gonna send this to all my teachers e-mails and say "There's your fucking essay..."

  • NO

    *poosh disliek button*

  • thumbs up if you need to do homework right now?

  • fuck homework!!!

  • We already spend 8 hours day at school 5 days a week. do we really need to bring more home?

  • math you need to do homework for sure though grade 11 math is out of control

  • homework

    sucks

    dick

  • I got here because I'm doing homwork. Actually I'm not, I haven't even started. All I've done since is play MW3 for a bit and go on YouTube.

  • Homework...sucks. They say it's supposed to be practice for tests/quizzes, but I just recopy my notes and...study. Homework is not practice, it's just busy work in my opinion. I usually finish my homework in class or in the library when I'm waiting for my next class to begin haha it is useful though when I need a few extra points or something.

  • I love this kid too!! Homework blows, it destroys our lives!! ABOLISH HOMEWORK!!! NOW!!!

  • Go Ben! I hope the law passes! :D

  • I agree..........but homework at a higher level, like when you are actually getting qualifications and such should still be there! Cause it does help :)

  • Someone needs to re-interview this kid when he gets to college, I bet he won't be singing the same tune then...

  • love that kid:)

  • Evelyn Beatrice Hall was the author of that quote, no Patrick Henry. Fucking bitch.

  • His voice is annoying as fuck.

  • I'm just saying that the government won't listen to some ranting angry kid, even if he's on the media. It's near impossible for homework to be removed in our nation. And they won't listen especially to a kid who can't differentiate the COMPLETLY different words ''order'' and ''slavery''. People just need to stop complaining. The odds of homework being abolished are about as the same as getting hit by a meteor.

  • And this kid just stirs my anger. His arguement completely topples when he states '' Homework is assigned to students like us without our permission. Thus, homework is slavery.'' This kid's trying to act intelligent, however, that is called an ORDER. An order is used every day in various establishments throughout our nation. This kid is calling all of those establishments illigeal.

    He can't just say homework is slavery because ''we have to do it without our consent.'' That's not even slavery.

  • Alright. This kid kind of has a good point. But there's a HUGE flaw in his therory.

    He's basing his arguement on homework being slavery that ''homework is given to us without our permission.'' This is called an ORDER. IT'S NOT SLAVERY.

    This happens every day in school,work,military, ect. Basically he's saying all of those are illigeal.

    This kid thinks he's smart, but he's not. A person who cannot differentiate an order and slavery is FAR from intelligent in my book.

  • Comment removed

  • Most slaves the last 200 years were assigned to plantations. The owners of these plantations did this mainly for personal gain, so they don't have to do the hard work. So tell me, do teachers hand out homework for their own personal gain?

  • Comment removed

  • i bet his parents just told him to say that ,little homo nerd id like to see him doing highschool homework

  • what a homo

  • FUCK HOMEWORK IT SHOULD BURN IN HELL IT KILLS TRESS AND THEREFORE PEOPLE.

    HOMEWORK IS RETARTED FUCKING WASTES TIME MAKES PEOPLE FAT. IT IS POINTLESS. JOIN THE ANTI-HOMEWORK MOVEMENT NOW! I HOPE HOMEWORK GETS ABOLISHED FOREVER.

    DIE HOMEWORK DIE!!!!

  • @mainchow10 I agree..God..I'm tired of getting stupid fucking homework..Stresses students out and makes them fucking mad..JUST BAN HOMEWORK =_= God we're tired of it and he hate it.

  • @mainchow10 Trees are a renewable resource, dumbfuck.

    And we've been planting them the last 200 years.

  • @100comenting So? Can you challenge any other of the facts I just stated? If not, the STFU.

  • @mainchow10 Makes people fat? I think sitting down and not exercising makes you fat, but for 2 godamn hours? And just because 5 anonymous people on the internet agree with you doesn't make you the most amazing theorist in the world.

  • @100comenting Wow. You have obviously proven my point of how it makes people fat. Look, my point is that I want homework abolished. Although I got only 5 thumbs up, my comment isn't false in any way. Now, are you with me, or against me?

  • @mainchow10 I'm not proving that homework makes you fat, just that 2 hours of sitting down won't get you fat at all. And schools try to keep their students fit, ever heard of P.E. (Physical Education)? It's mandatory in most public schools, unless you have a disability, in which it's hard to exercise at all.

    And homework is very unlikely to be abolished, to have the government remove homework, it would take the entire nation to vote. Unless that happens, they won't listen to someone on Youtube.

  • @100comenting Are you with me or against me?

  • @mainchow10 Pretty much against.

  • @100comenting Why?

  • @mainchow10 Because the idea of homework making you fat and it wasting trees seems absurd to me.

    1. There are billions of trees in the world. I estimate that 1 4 foot homework pile takes 1 tree.

    2. 2 hours may not seem much to me, but I understand that 2 hours every 5 days (not including holidays)

    stacks up, but school offers exercise, like I stated before. And to make kids do it, they make it mandatory.

  • @100comenting No I meant like why do we need it?

  • @mainchow10 Students can review what they learned the current school day.

  • @100comenting And also, 5 people agree with me, so I win.

  • H.O.M.E.W.O.R.K.

    Half. Of. My. Energy. Wasted. On. Random. Knowlege.

  • okay so your at school 5 days a week , and the two days you get off , your doing homework?

  • ugh. homework

  • I typed in homework on youtube because I was so fucking bored and I don't want to do my college homework for tomorrow.

  • @RebornMB Holy fucking hell yes, except, mine's no due till 2 to 3 days from now.... I'll probably do it though and then ask the teacher what harryisgreat1 asked.

  • @RebornMB same

  • Tomorrow at school i am going to ask why do we do homework to my techer then she will talk crap and then ill state these facts. THAT HOMEWORK IS A PUNISHMENT TO KIDS

  • H.O.M.E.W.O.R.K= Half Of My Energy Wasted On Random Crap

  • @TheLolol98 that is so right

  • thumbs up if u agree, not 4 me but this kid. I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID, I LOVE THIS KID!

  • homework sucks dick but....lmao its not slavery. 

  • Tev=chers who give you large amounts work seem to 4get u have other classes that give you H.W as well

  • This is actually true, cause if you think about it, if you were to do homework just for teachers to see what you learned and if you learned something or not, why can't it just be proven on tests? Also, homework technically does NOTHING to make a student LEARN, all it is, is memorization with homework, and there is a difference with remembering and understanding.

  • As a kid in secondary school, I should fully agree with this point of view. But, I have to admit that my opinion is a little subjective. So, that being said, there are advantages to homework. I can't believe I said that, but if you were to look at it from a neutral prospective, it isn't a one sided argument. But I still love this kid.

  • I fucking love this kid

  • @WEPI0980142708GUOSDG Homework is only useful f you actually try to do the homework yourself and understand it. It's stupid to you because you probably don't even do your homework. However, homework is sort of boring at times.You just have to put the effort into it.

  • GUESS WHAT BUDDY! I STILL GOT HOMEWORK AND THOSE DAMN ADULTS JUST PLAYED WITH YOU GO EGG YOU ON!!!!!!!!

  • The adults shown in the video are just egging the student on because they think his actions are "cute".

  • Lastly, homework is very important for me (and I'm sure it is to many others, especially in high school and beyond) because AP classes can't be passed with an A by just paying attention in class. Trust me, I'm a straight A student (I don't mean to boast but I am just establishing credibility).

  • Schools have students complete homework assignments because it gets them into the habit of doing it; so that they are ready for doing it in the future when homework assignments are very helpful to the students. Every grade is a building block in the whole of education; the early years being more important because that is where everything starts.

  • 2:23 What? This is like saying: why go to school if you are going to forget the material taught?

    1:47 Again; what? Doing your homework allows you to practice what you've learned in class. It allows you to develop a much better understanding of a particular concept.

    The boy has stumbled upon a false epiphany. He is only in fifth grade (where homework isn't even that complicated).

  • my left ear enjoyed this

  • lol a 5th grader says kids need no homework? 5th grade homework takes 5 minutes, just wait till he gets into high school and he will be doing home work for hours.

  • You: Teacher!

    Teacher: Yes?

    You: Can I ask you something?

    Teacher: Sure, go on.

    You: Would u punish me for something that I didn't do at all?

    ... Teacher: Of course not.

    You: Good, I didn't do my homework.

    Like if you get it

  • fuck all i dont do homework fuck teachers

  • His in little kid school.. wait till his in high especially when you coming to the last 2 years of you school career you got homework EVERYDAY and for almost all lessons I come home with about 3 pieces of homework a day and most of the are to do with my GCSE exams :/

  • homework is good. it helps people train what they just learned at school. the problem is that there are way to many hours of school in america. from what i hear there are 8 HOURS of school in america. i mean they should reduce it to about 5. when i heard that i was like 8 HOURS!!!! THIS IS 3 HOURS MORE THAN HERE WHAT THE HECK!!!

  • @PCGamerOfToday what country do u live in?

  • @PCGamerOfToday The school I go to has half day's each day and I live in Michigan so homework isn't a issue for me. Most schools not all in America last on average 4-6 hours a day.

  • homework is making kids fat!!!! because we get do much homework we have not enough or even no time to get the excersise we need!!!

  • Homework is pointless, unhealthy, and kills life. Isn't it enough that we go to school for like 7-8 hours with 6 PERIODS? Now why must you make matters worse by having the work invade our home? That is utterly absurd waste right there. And homework is paper and paper is made from trees and trees are the source of our oxygen and therefore kills us. Waste of time, oxygen, and unhealthy shit.

  • @mainchow10 xD great speech right there!

  • 5TH GRADE LOL wait just wait for 9th grade is going to kill you.

  • Homework = Teachers making you do THEIR job. "I didn't teach you all that I was supposed to within the 6 hour day, so I'm going make YOU do the rest of MY work, but you know, YOUR THE LAZY ONE."

  • "There is not one single study that shows that homework helps kids learn. At the same time kids have less and less time to just be kids – time spent on homework has gone up 50% since 1981."

  • no.

  • He has a good point, but Homework is an inevitable fact about school and it indeed does help us, even though its frustrating and aggravates the hell out of us, it still helps. :\

  • Comment removed

  • man tht kid is so right

  • @ gummiface100 you're right and i agree. it wastes our trees people just care to cut more, waste paper. will you wait for the time that trees will be extinct

  • i totally agree with that kid

  • i meant should

  • im boycotting my homework you shold too

  • HOMEWORK KILLS TREES!!!!!!!

  • i hate homework. i get it everyday, and I do it for 1 hour and it sometimes is super boring. like reading. this kid has a point, most kids want homework because their lazy !! i personally would sign that thing!

  • Let their be no homework then kids can learn more at school and relax at home then get more learning done

  • I would not mind going to school if there was no homework.

  • this kid is smart!

  • It should then follow that school is slavery if the person does not choose to be there.

  • @superwilldonaghue

    Lucky I'm in yr 7 (going into yr8) and in yr7 we get 2 hour long homeworks every day D:

  • @RedNeckgirlCamaflaug LOL!!!!  Thanks for not calling me a geek!

  • 2:08

    "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - attributed to Voltaire not to Patrick Henry.

    Maybe if this principle hadn't been forced to do so much mind numbing homework she may have actually learned the real origins of that quote.

  • I live in England and it's strange but I get no homework! My school doesn't give me or my class homework! I am in year 7 and I think it's odd and great! :D

  • i hate my homework

  • homework sucks

  • yes.we need homework.It's important to get our education.You can call me a freak,loser,or a geek.but all you are is Mean.

  • Nobody does homework

  • dude nobody does homework

  • Do kids really need homework?

    No.

    What's the difference if u do in school or at home? Homework takes up our free time for home which is meant for us to rest! Teachers , pls , if u give us homework , can it not be everyday ... Like once week cos home is for us to rest to not do work as if we are in school!! Home is not school. Home is a resting place for people!

  • i agree full on. i hate homework and wheni do homework, its overstudying and that fails me. when i take a test, i dont study for it, and i dont check it over. i am a straight a student. homework doesnot help me. it disrupts my home time and gets me all stressed out about school. i HATE HOMEWORK.

  • Hate hw

  • This kid is fucking stupid. Homwork is NOT slavery it's there to help you. I just finished up a physics class semester and I know for a fact if you would not have done you're homework you would have been fucked in that class without it. It's there to help you learn. So deal with it.

  • Us students should go on strike, not the damn teachers.

  • i never did my homeworks, im at university doing architecture..

  • School= 8 hours of learning

    Homework= 2 hours of boredom

  • @jarvisiscool mine 6 hours HA

  • @jarvisiscool ur 8 hours of learning! I have to do 6 hours of learning and 6 pages of homework=2 hours of wasting my life........

  • "No Grades+No Homework Better Learning" and "The Punishment of Rewards" by Alfie Kohn a Great advocate presenting tons of scientific research and findings. alfiekohn(dot)org

  • I know homework is "important" but I work 30 hours a week for minimum wage at McDonald's so I can MAYBE, just MAYBE have enough to go to college, which I would love to go to. What's the point of me doing homework at 11:30 at night after I've been at work all day. It brings down my grades...the grades I NEED to go to college. Really think work load should be reduced for students, there arenew circumstances for today.

  • where were you 10 years when i was in 5th grade

  • that kid is an asshole

    am sure he looks nerdy but he is last in class

  • If I was told to manage a class then homework is the best way to make sure the students understand all that's being taught. Maybe I'll also scare them lil bit if they don't finish it so that they'll go home & really do their work.

  • we do schoolwork but when we get home we do chores. We do not need to bring schoolwork home. A childs homework is cleaning their rooms or doing laundry. I know even that stuff sucks but that is real homework not history or math. School should just stay at school that the thing I agreed with

  • The most shittest thing in school... homework =_=

  • The two things i hate the most. Is one Homework and two ADS!!!!!!

  • LOL who made homework? we go to school to learn and do work... we go home to relax and stay away from work but then theres this thing called HOMEWORK ...

  • I disagree. You're forced to follow the law, is that slavery?  No. Educate yourself, it's good for you.

  • This kid definitely made his point. It all makes sense when you really think about it. To prove his point even more, I don't even remember more than half the stuff I was taught when given homework. Then again, if we didn't have homework, we would become even more lazy and unproductive. It's a sticky situation, but he definitely makes a point.

  • i'm with u but i feel kinda weird not doing hw anymore

  • i still think i was short cause of my heavy back pack thing wiegh fuckin 18lbs in 3rd grade i still remember wieghing it the shit aint healthy less sleep less active stuff less movement it dont engage ur brain and its borning.

  • Yes we do. I'm 16 and without homework kids wouldn't learn shit.

    That kid is a retard nerd and his life is going to suck really much.

    Who is he to say that we don't need homework.

  • @MrGuitarrica u think that because u get 15 seconds of homework each week.

  • @klimtkiller Ummm.... Actually I realy don't get 15 seconds..I actually get close to 2 hours some days =/

  • My hero :D

  • You go kid, I support you :D

  • so true it dose cause problems at home becuz i dont do i get to skul wheres ur homework mister 

  • That kid is so smart! And I totally agree with him. Many of my friends have a lot of problems with their homework, that means they stay up late and don't get enough sleep so they're tired at school the next day! Also it really feels bad to be bringing the school home with you -.-

  • WE KIDS DONT NEED GOD DAMN HOMEWORK AND IM VERY HAPPY TO SAY THAT.

  • I guess people just need to stop being lazy and start doing your homework, it'd be okay not to do homework if all you want to be in life is a janitor or work at McDonalds but how would you feel if you knew that the surgeon who is going to be in charge of your mother's open heart surgery didn't do his homework? BAD IDEA.

  • FUCK SCHOOL PERIOD . END OF STORY LEARN ON YOUR OWN

  • Comment removed

  • this kids hates homework; why would he carry the English homework to this extent let alone do it in the first place?

  • Homework = Wasting Paper = Killing trees = Decrease in oxygen = Everyone dies. I guess teachers wanna kill people

  • I need homework about as much as I need a root canal. Not at all.
