Why we shouldn't have homework right before exams

I am glad that there is a free post this week because I would like to state my beliefs about teachers assigning huge projects the week before final exams. This hasn't happened in this English class, but two of my teachers have assigned projects the week before finals. I do not believe that this is fair. We should have one or two weeks without homework so we can prepare for exams.

Instead of letting us prepare for our first high school exams, some teachers assign extra homework. They have decided to cram all the work in that is possible. Assigning extra homework and projects not only indirectly drops some of our exam grades in that class, but also poorly affects our ability to study for other classes. It should not be allowed to give any work outside of school until the third quarter. I am not meaning to complain, but teachers assigning more work right before exams will hurt my education and my future.
