1 answer

Claim: Students should not have too much homework after school because it can lead to stress and reduce their free time.

To support this claim, I could collect evidence like surveys from students about their homework load and how it affects their well-being. I could also look for studies or articles that discuss the impact of excessive homework on students’ mental health and academic performance. Furthermore, interviews with teachers and parents could provide insights into how they feel about the amount of homework given. I would look for this evidence in educational journals, online databases, and school resources like the library.
