Rant about teachers who give homework over the weekend

I don't understand why teachers in middle school and high school always feel the need to give homework over the weekends. IT'S THE WEEKEND. That is why we have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, AND Friday to do our work. Do they not realize that we are KIDS that have other things to do other than read a chapter of a stupid boring book or practice ridiculous math problems? I would much rather go outside and enjoy a nice day instead of spending all day in my room, doing work on MY time off. They always complain when we take up their time during class by talking or goofing off, but what do they expect when OUR time is taken up by their stupid assignments? We only get two freaking days out of the week to enjoy ourselves but usually they are occupied by essays, math, or reports that are due that Monday! Why can’t they be due on Tuesday? Do they not remember what it was like when they were kids and wanted to go out and have fun? Maybe children would start liking school if the teachers respected their free time more. Just because we are kids does not mean we don’t have rights. Would you want to work overtime on the weekends? I don’t think so. Most of us have sports, jobs, hobbies, or other things that we need to focus on instead of another assignment that should have been given on one of the WEEKDAYS. We only get two out of seven days anyway! Don’t punish us because you feel like grading more papers or because you can’t organize your coursework better.
