Weekend is stress-free time: 14-year-old's explanation for not doing homework wins internet

Let’s face it. Nobody likes homework. Parents in some cases have argued that homework is a burden for their children and they do not get time to play sports or perform other activities during the weekend. Children too give funny reasons not to do homework. A 14-year-old boy now has now come up with his own explanation on why he did not do his homework, and he is winning the internet.

Edward Emmanuel Cortez, 14, from California wrote a letter to his teacher on why there should be no homework. In his letter, he explained that he didn’t like doing homework during the weekend break from school as weekends are meant to be stress-free so that one can spend time watching TV, or play with friends. He innocently mentions that his mom has got grey hair because she stresses a lot. 

So my cousin and his wife got an email from their sons teacher. He didn’t do his hw so she asked him to write a paper saying why he didn’t do his hw and this is what she got.. pic.twitter.com/2eDh2IgB9X

I was like that when I was a kid. I would debate teachers and was kicked out of a class for telling a teacher she needed to act like an adult and stop throwing tantrums when someone misbehaves. I needed to understand the why, saying "because I said so" wasn't sufficient for me.
