In “The Tyranny of Education” by Beth B., she writes about how Saturdays and Sundays are her two days “to rejuvenate from the previous week that has murdered [her] self esteem,” and from “the week that has morally beaten [her] and stressed [her] out so much that [her] hair is falling out.” Beth is explaining that the weekend is her time away from school, not to spend that limited time working on schoolwork assigned over those two days that students get to live their lives, make memories, and have fun. Beth continues to explain, “when all we do when we’re not in school is more school, there must be something wrong.” I agree with what Beth has to say about this because when students, including myself get loaded with homework during the week and during the weekend, it becomes very stressful and hard to handle, especially when we have almost no time for ourselves.
