*Why Pronote and Homework Are Damaging Students' Mental Health*
In the modern school system, learning no longer stops when the bell rings. For millions of students in France and elsewhere, the school day continues at home through Pronote — the homework and timetable app that follows them everywhere. While it was designed to help organize school life, Pronote has become a constant source of stress, anxiety, and pressure. Combined with the endless burden of homework, it is harming students' mental health and it is time to question whether we should have homework at all.
The first problem with Pronote is that it erases the boundary between school and private life. Before, once you left school, you were free until the next morning. Now, with Pronote on your phone, school is in your pocket 24 hours a day. Students receive notifications about a new homework assignment at 9 PM, a bad grade posted on a Sunday, or a timetable change for the next day. There is no break. Psychologists call this "hyperconnectivity" and it creates a state of constant alertness. Students check the app obsessively, afraid of missing something or of being surprised by a grade. This permanent surveillance generates anxiety, even outside of school hours. The home, which should be a place of rest, becomes an extension of the classroom.
Second, Pronote makes school performance visible at all times and amplifies comparison and pressure. Grades, averages, class rankings, and teacher comments are updated instantly. A student can see his average drop by 0.2 points in real time. Parents also have access and can question their child immediately: "Why did you get 9/20? What is this homework you didn't do?" This instant transparency removes any time for the student to process, understand, or improve. Failure becomes public and immediate within the family. For many teenagers, this creates a feeling of being constantly judged and never good enough. Studies on academic stress show that constant evaluation is directly linked to lower self-esteem, sleep problems, and even depressive symptoms.
This is made worse by homework itself. The purpose of homework is supposed to be to reinforce learning, but in reality it often has the opposite effect. After spending 7 to 8 hours at school, students are expected to work another 2 to 3 hours at home. For middle school and high school students, this means 10-hour workdays, longer than most adults. This workload leads to chronic fatigue, lack of sleep, and no time for what is essential for mental health: physical activity, hobbies, seeing friends, and simply doing nothing. When every evening is filled with exercises, essays, and revision, students burn out. They lose motivation and start to associate learning with suffering and punishment.
Furthermore, homework increases inequality and a sense of helplessness. Not all students have a quiet place to work, parents who can help, or access to extra tutoring. Those who struggle at school are the ones who spend the most time on homework and feel the most failure at home. Instead of helping them, homework reinforces the idea that they are not capable. If school is where we learn, home should be where we recover.
We should not have homework, or at least not in its current form, because learning should happen at school. Finland, which is consistently ranked as one of the best education systems in the world, gives very little homework and does not use an app to track students constantly. The result: students are happier and perform better. Teachers could use class time more effectively for practice and understanding, rather than outsourcing that work to the evening.
In conclusion, Pronote and excessive homework do not make us better students; they make us more anxious, more tired, and less happy. Education should build the future of students, not damage their mental health in the present. It is time to log off Pronote after class and let home be home again, without homework.

Pronote
C’est nul
PRONOTE, il y a 34 jours
PRONOTE est simplement nul ça sert à rien et franchement lâcher l’école. Allez-y travailler c’est mieux non je rigole aller travailler vous croyez quoi vous j’ai des fatigué, tu es fatigué, je suis fatigué, on est tous fatigués
Ne vaut pas un bon vieux WoW
Le jeu est pas si mal mais un peu trop extrême malgré le mode multijoueur de tout bon MMORPG. Les boss et les PNJ veulent tous ta mort. Par exemple les PNJ te donnent des quêtes appelé Devoir Maison mais ce sont en réalité des pièges si ton jet d’intelligence n’est pas bon tu es sur de perdre plusieurs points de vie au prochain cours. Si on essaye de ne serait-ce d’affronter un seul mob plus communément appelé pion il appelle à l’aide des camarades comme dans Pokémon mais là ça augmente leurs stats à 200% si tu arrives à ne pas perdre trop de point de vie lors de ce combat tu subiras tout de même un malus appelé poison ou HEURE DE COLLE qui sera conservé jusqu’à la fin du jeu. Les PNJ appelé prof sont enfaite des boss déguisés pour mieux te taper et c’est GAME OVER. Quoi qu’il en soit n’essayer pas d’affronter de boss secondaires ça sera un one shot 100% de coup critique. Pour finir ce jeu il faut faire la première quête principal donné par les grands ennemis du jeu où Ministère de l’Education Nationale c’est a dire obtenir un diplôme qui ne donne aucun buff donc oui la quête est inutile mais sert tout de même à débloquer la seconde quête secondaire autrement dit BAC. Une fois complèté tu débloques un DLC PAYANT??? Dans le milieu c’est plus connu sous le nom d’étude supérieur. Il n’y a qu’un glitch mais il dépend de ton jet d’intelligence au début du jeu autrement dit tu as peu de chance de tomber dessus. Bon courage à vous prochains joueurs c’est probablement le pire MMORPG jamais sorti.
