I strongly believe, kids are frustrated! Especially kids that are 11 years old. Parents think kids need eight hours of sleep but do you want your kids frustrated and gloomy at you? Do you really want this and also no parent(s) wants their kid(s) to be sad but they want them to be happy.
Firstly, now kids are in secondary schools, they have so much homework and they need resting time. Kids do their homework after coming from school which is in the evening. They probably finish at 8:30 pm and need two hours of TV time and computer time to relax. Do you want your kids to be extremely miserable at you the next day? Do you?
Secondly, if parents are forcing them to sleep at 6:00 pm they miss out on their favourite TV show(s). What if you missed out on YOUR favourite cooking or car racing show? Kids were talking about the grand final and I was sleeping. THAT’S NOT FAIR! OKAY!
Finally, I am sick and tired of this because you guys stay up late and watch YOUR FAVOURITE TV PROGRAMS. You guys laugh like a monkey and I wish I was there too! I am missing out on all the FUN. Do you think that if it’s noisy, I can sleep? No- so can’t I stay up?
In conclusion, I passionately believe that kids should stay up late after they did their hard homework so well because they deserve a reward which is a break.
