This week on Wednesday, me and my class went to The Tenement Museum. We were tenement inspectors and we were making sure the tenant and the landlady were not breaking any tenement laws. We got two points of view, one from the landlady named Dora and another from the tenant named Becky. They were breaking a lot of tenement laws, so we had to report them to the chief inspector. How would we do that? There were no cell phones, so we had to write letters. The letters were saying stuff that we recommend like to hire a housekeeper who cleans the house or maybe make more tenants pay their rent. This is some of what I wrote:

“Becky was breaking laws like making piles of rags on the floor and keeping urine and feces in her apartment. It also looks like Dora is fixing minor issues more than she is fixing really important issues like Dora put fancy surfaces on the stairs but did not fix Becky’s running water.” (Margaret)

My class and I all made editorials about “Is homework good or bad”?  This is mine

Why homework is bad for kids!

Homework is bad for kids. It is proven that homework interferes with walking/running and obese kids die faster than less fat people 

Another reason that homework is bad for you is because homework doesn’t  improve their grades. It is proven that, “while doing homework, kids don’t improve their grades,” said Robert Tai, a professor of the Curry School of Education.

Another reason that homework is bad for kids is because they spend too much time on homework, and it is proven that, “too much of anything can be harmful,” said Gerald LeTendre,Head of Penn State Educational Policy Department. 

Those are some of the reasons why homework is bad for you. now tune in for the sport section.
