(Not paragraph just a thought out answer)
Yes, if you think about it students already have full days of classes that add up to about the same amount of time of regular job work hours. With the added homework it gives most little to no time to actually relax before the next day and then the homework on the weekends is no help either. It’s understandable when it’s elementary and they still learning to read but as you get older even a little can become a lot and it can really take a toll on one’s mental health due to the fact that there’s no time for either one of the following: themselves, friends and family, pets and/or outdoor adventures.
What act are you on
I need that to figure it out
I think that the phrase "sporting proposition" means a game of chance.
It was used in this dialogue:
"Simply this: hunting had ceased to be what you call `a sporting proposition.' It had become too easy. I always got my quarry. Always. There is no greater bore than perfection." (1.96)
When you say "sport" is infers a chance of winning and losing. There is no sure outcome.
In the above lines, hunting has become a sure deal and it does not invigorate nor inspire the hunters to do better.
