arrrggggghhhh!!!!!!!

I admit that school reopening is a great thing. I get to meet up with my friends again and learn some new stuff. But ever since my school reopen, I've been having headache everyday. The teachers gives double the homework if compared to last year, the subjects were extra tough, and the co-curriculum activity is just held like crazy! Our normal last bell ring time would be 2.30pm, but now because there is extra activities, we have school from 7.30am till 4.30pm to 5pm. And the homework they give is seriously crazy. The teachers will give us homework today and expect us to hand in the next day, I mean how can that be possible if we finish school at 4.30pm? My schedule is fully cramp with activities and i do not have time even to go out for a drink with my friends. I've school till 4.30pm to 5.00pm, it takes around thirty minutes to one hour to reach home so problerly i wil reach home around 6pm. Then i will have to take my bath and have my dinner. I sometimes have to help around with the chores. And that takes around 2 to 3 hours. After that, i might have tuition till 10pm. Only after that I could settle down to start on my homework. So is very common to see students sleeping in the class as they do not have enough time to complete their homework in just 12 hours when the school has already taken so much of their time. And to mention the assignment the government gives to us now. Last time, during my primary school days, all i need to do was concentrate on my studies and the extra activities. But now not only secondery school student need to do assignment but even primary school students need to do them as well. Even my mum is suprise with all the work given to us school children this days. I understand that the teacher wants us to understand more on the subjects they are teaching but giving too much homework would not work as well. For me, homework is just a small thing and i still manage to cope with it so far. But i just hope that maybe the government would just cut down on the extra activities in school then maybe ths students in Malaysia may have better grades??
