Why Students Don't Have TimeWhen I was a student, my teacher once told me that a large amount of time is only good when it can be used wisely. The tactics of the teaching profession that I, a modern educator, am about to describe, achieve exactly the opposite. First of all, ladies and gentlemen, a student's time outside of school, like Romeo's love for Juliet, is precious every minute. A student's time is like a person's income before taxes. Free time would be the amount left after all homework (taxes) are completed. So focus on the small amounts of free time a student actually has rather than the large spaces they seem to have from 2 p.m. to 8 a.m. II. Regardless of the amount of work done in class, a teacher should give students the same amount of homework each day, between one and two hours per evening. Even if the entire year's curriculum is covered in the first three days of class, the teacher must find homework to give to students each day afterward, whether or not it has anything to do with the course material. .III. A teacher should make no exceptions for their late work policy, regardless of the excuse. The punishment for someone who played a big game or whose house was burned or whose house was buried under ten feet of snow will be the same as for someone who has no reasonable excuse. A teacher should not even hear trivial excuses such as "my dog ​​ate my homework", even if the student in question has a 12 week old black Labrador who has serious biting and chewing problems and chews everything, from socks to shoes, unfortunately, homework.IV. A teacher must entrust his students with many projects outside of class but in the short term. They will then think that they have spent all the time necessary for a lesson but then they have to work another hour on another class project. These projects should be the type in which procrastination is not an option; those that the teacher gives five weeks in advance but which must be returned one day after being able to start. For example, an assignment to read a book specially ordered by the school district, due five weeks in advance but due the day after the books arrive..
