A Declaration by the Scholars of Garfield High School, against the adverse effect of Homework. By JONATHAN ADUSAH

When, in the course of a students career, it becomes essential to boycott by not doing assignments that would seem tedious to any respected scholar, and to separate life from school, the chains that connect life and school work must be annihilated, these powerful chains that try to consume human leisure time must be rid of, some assignments that are meant to benefit and defend the betterment of academic success must be honored but the many counterproductive parasitic like assignments must be abolished at once.
We hold this underlying truth that: all tedious assignments are created evil, that they were sent upon us like a thief in night to raid our happiness and to overthrow the rich abundance of our young lives, that we should have the right to be completed with all homework assignments within one hour of our start, that we may once again have the opportunity to indulge in the joy of going outside after school.
He has constructed this mechanism to drill useless information in our heads, this mechanism has been nicely disguised with names such as “worksheet” and “mastery practice”, this information is used to punish our young feeble brains, the information that is engraved in our cerebral cortex will rarely be of any productive use in the future.
He has made us to stay up to the twilight hours, staring at the bright computer screen and furiously trying to finish an enormous essay, young teenagers now average less than five hours of sleep a day, some young teems are now unable to experience the delicious taste of breakfast, we now have fallen into the large abyss of sleeping during class and being repaid with negative effects.
He has successfully separated us from our friends that we love so dearly, by making interacting with our loved ones seem less important, we now have no time for family game night, movie night or even time to listen to mother or father tell the most cherished family allegories.
He has attempted to overtake devices such as Myspace, AIM and Playstation 3 in a coup d'état of mass proportions.
He has taking the idea of getting a job while in high school; so that we may be able to acquire money to purchase a car that we would show off to friends an anomaly.
This parasitic weapon called homework has been waging a silent war of détente properties to steal our joy and to transform us into faceless dull humans, it is our duty to say no at once and to reject this terrorizing weapon, we must act at once and work with its creator the teacher to develop a better teaching tool that would better serve us.
We therefore the scholars of Garfield High school assembled, do in the title, and by the permission of the good students reject and castigate all tedious homework assignments and pop quizzes, we declare never to lay an eye on any more future evil intent assignments, by doing this we shall increase our leisure time ten fold, and finally we do asseverate that students everywhere to be free of homework, that we may now have time to complete our wonderful breakfast meals, and have the opportunity to obtain the sleep we need to function at school.
And for the support of this declaration, we cooperatively swear to each other our mechanical pencils, our crisp white paper, and of course our expensive dignity.
