For many students, the end of the school day does not mark the end of their responsibilities.

Instead,
it is just the beginning of another daunting task - homework. With the increasing workload and
pressure to excel in academics, students often find themselves struggling to balance their after school
activities with their homework.

After a long day of classes, students are often exhausted and in need of a break. However, this is
rarely the case as they are expected to complete a significant amount of homework before the next
day. This leaves little to no time for extracurricular activities such as sports, clubs, or hobbies.

Not only does homework consume a large portion of a student's time, but it also takes away from the
physical and mental benefits of after school activities. These activities provide students with an
outlet to relieve stress, improve their social skills, and develop new interests. However, with the
constant pressure to complete homework, students are often forced to sacrifice these activities.

Moreover, the burden of homework can also have a negative impact on a student's mental health.
The constant stress and anxiety of completing assignments on time can lead to burnout and
exhaustion. This can, in turn, affect their performance in both academics and extracurricular activities.
