Too Much Homework

My opinion on homework is we get to much of it. We sit in school for 6 hours a day and then we have to go home and still do homework from school. We get home at 2 and then I'm stuck doing homework for a couple hours. It's not fair we sit in school for a quarter of our day to learn we don't need more time after school when were out to learn more. Homework should be completed in school on the schools time for teaching us. Not on our time to hang out with our friends. Then when we get 2 days off im stuck with 2 days worth of homework. So now on top of working on the weekend i have to do more work from school.
I remember when my cousins were in high school and i was in elementary school and they never had the amount of homework that we have today. That probably had half of the amount. It's hard to balance working, playing sports, hanging out with my friends and trying to do homework. Theres been nights where i was up to 2 in the morning completing an essay. The nthe next day i was to tired to learn in school. So the amount of homework affected my learning.
Honestly i don't learn from homework at all. I just do it to get it done so I won't fail. I don't do it to learn. My way of learning is by watching someone do it or show it. I'm a hands on learner. So doing something on a piece of paper by myself doesn't help teach me.
Essays and reports i do often leave to the last day. I do this because i have homework everyday and i need to get that done first because it is always due sooner. Then when the essay is close to being do i start on it.
