In some countries, parents expect children to spend long time studying in and after school and have less free time. Do you think it has positive or negative effects on children and society that they live in?

Nowadays It is quite common that
study
has occupied
children
in
school
and after
school
time
, they rarely have extra
time
for rest or for hobbies. Voice of criticism claims it may lead to negativities to
children
and even the whole society. I agree with the opinion and the reasons for
this
view will be discussed in the following essay.
To begin
with, due to the growing trend of competition,
children
were forced to
study
for long hours to pursue greater academic performance in
school
.
Nonetheless
, a long duration of work may not be beneficial in studying.
For instance
, when I was in high
school
, I had not only spent
time
learning knowledge in class but
also
went to cram
school
for extra education every week,
this
is not an unfamiliar experience to anyone.
However
, the exam consequence was not quite satisfying for me. Both my personal experience and statistics have proven that outstanding academic performance could not be guaranteed with only increased
study
time
. Long
time
studying in and after
school
are not only disassociate with efficiency, it
also
has negative impacts on
children
and society. they may be suffering from stress or other mental illness due to a lack of free
time
to do activities or to sleep. A long
time
of
study
often stands for a high volume of assignments and
school
subjects which may lead to disorder in emotion and cause depression.
Furthermore
, authorities must allocate more social resources in dealing with students with mental issues by utilizing the budget that would have been spent on other fields
such
as infrastructures, compulsory education and poverty populations. It means there would be fewer funds to support other social issues.
On the other hand
, adolescents with mental problems could cause more social issues. In conclusion, overtime studying in and after
school
is not beneficial to either students or the entire society.
Therefore
, we should be against
this
behaviour, as well as take actions to solve it.
