Usually, too much homework makes us tired. Some students hope we should be allowed to get to school a little later so that we can get enough sleep. As for parents, they shouldnt push us too hard to take too many after-school classes. Then, we can do what we like.In my opinion, wed better have fewer exams. And its necessary to provide more colorful activities which are good for our development.Yours,Li Wen13
