Kids should have homework because it can help them get a good college. Counterargument

Children should not receive homework because it can raise their stress levels. Homework also takes up kids' time when they could be outside exercising or socializing with friends. In order to get into a good college, you must have great communication skills. No matter how smart you are, you must have some experience in socializing with different people. If homework is given to students and they spend the entire night working on it, then they won't have enough energy to pay attention during class.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
