Homework OH Homework

imagine this, you come home from a hard day at school and as you walk in the doorway your mum asks " I know school has been hard but do you want to come to the shops with me to get your dad a birthday present, and mabey we could catch a movie?" but whats your reply? "No mum, I can't i have homework."
Homework is destroying our social, mental and physical lives. Socially we are affected as our weekends and afternoons are taken up with piles and piles of homework. Studies show that 99.9% percent of students are obliged to doing homework and not having fun on the weekends. Mentally we are put under so much stress, im not sure if you are aware but we are at school from 8.30 in the morning to 3.30 in the afternoon, which is 7 hours, 420 minuets, 25,200 seconds, 25,200,000 milliseconds and 252,000,000 microseconds that we are stuck at school working all day to our hearts content, and then when we finally get home, all we want is to realx, but NO we are stuck with tons and tons of homework. Physically we are affected as instead of playing sports and having fun we are stuck at a wooden old desk, and what more homework is damaging our posture. When we grow up and turn into old people and we find that everyone who attended school is a cripple, i think it is fair enough to blame on homework. Home work has no point in our lives it is only going to make us commite suicide, turn into a cripple and become very unsociable. I dont see why there is such thing as homework obviously no one wants it. Homework o homework i hate you stink, go wash your self down a drain or sink.

The other side of the truth- P.E.E.C Paragraph, why does sade fill guilty?

Why does Sade feek guilty about hiding the truth when they arrive  in London?

Sade's parents always use to tell her "the truth keeps hands cleaner than soap" (p 47). Though when she arrives in London, she has no other choice but to lie.
Sade feels guilty lying, because her mother always told her that lying was wrong. But in this situation telling the truth had gotten them in a lot of trouble. What made ths situation worse was that Sade was not just lying to her friend or family member, she was lying to the police, and that is a federal offence, putting her life in danger to help her father. So even though she must've felt guilty knowing that her mother would have been dissapointed in her, she saved her fathers life.
