Projects help students learn how to do things on their own without the help of teachers. It gives them lessons on how to do their work and helps them learn from their mistakes. There is just one problem: students get stressed out because of projects.Projects can either be easy or difficult. Depending on which it is, the student will have more or less stress. Sometimes the stress amount can reach an all-time limit because there are more than one project clustered together and due at about the same time. Some of them will be challenging, and the others will be time consuming and annoying. A survey said that most kids from a middle school in Austin, Texas preferred for there to be less projects throughout the year. One student said "It's not that there were too many projects this year, it's just that they were all given and due at about the same time. They would have been more interesting had they been spread apart better." 34% of the students surveyed at Hammond said that there were too many projects this year. 47% said that there were just enough.
I am finding a solution for this project-stress epidemic. We need teacher help. That may defeat the purpose of a project being at home, but sometimes we need help with our projects. Some students who do sports and other activities outside of school may not have time in their busy schedule do complete their projects. 4% of students surveyed said that they completed no projects this year, and 8% said they did only a few. Some students don't own a computer so they cannot write their projects, such as essays, book reports, and captions for their science fair projects. Teachers suggest that these students should go to the library, but what if they don't live near a library. The solution is very simple. Teachers need to give students time in class to do their projects. This is helpful because sometimes students don't have time at home (due to sports and other activities) to do them.

"Why should you help the students? Its homework, isn't it? The purpose of homework is to make sure that the student is able to do their work without the help of a teacher, so why should we give them time to do their homework in class?" These are questions related to this topic that a seventh grade teacher in Boston, Massachusetts asked. My question is "If an assignment lasts for a week of more, should it really be considered homework?" If you need help doing something when you cannot get help at home, the teachers should have some sense and help you.
This is all that I have to say, so teachers, make sure that you help your students. You want them to have a bright future, don't you?
