Reply to Dad Dash- an app where you get delivery from the hardware store, auto parts store, and also have service where they will come teach you how to tie a tie or whatever. Like Uber but not that. by [deleted]
So this is to keep Dad's from going out for a pack of smokes and never coming back? The original Dad Dash.

Reply to comment by Ubermenschen in Parents hate homework just as much, if not more than their kids. by PeculiarPete
sorry for the confusion, what i meant is that schools are supposed to be the places where you learn school stuff like maths and other subjects, and you shouldn't be forced to spend your free time doing that

Reply to People are ghosts in meat mech suits by spornerama
If that were true, damaging the meat suit wouldn't damage the ghost. The simplest explanation for damage to consciousness and memory caused by brain damage is that consciousness is a product of the brain.
If you feel otherwise, that's fine, but asserting what you need to be true as what is is bad for honesty in general.

Not sure why youre being downvoted but i agree with you
As an immigrant that didnt speak a word of english when i first moved to australia, homework helped me a lot as regular practice with words and reading helped me remember and integrate it into my long term memory without doing my homework i probably wouldve taken a lot longer to catch up to my peers and graduate from the ESL class
Im also a maths tutor for primary and high school kids and i can tell you with 120% confidence that the kids that did (or at least attempted) their homework do wayyyyy better in school and just learn faster in general
Learning doesnt stop when you get home and tbh i worry for the kids of anyone that think so
p.s. some homework have stupid convoluted answers and are pointless but they are in the minority

Reply to comment by comad8 in Having a day off to do nothing is considered bad if you’re depressed but good if you’re not depressed by themetahumancrusader
Yeah when I get depressed I hate having shit I need to do. Having nothing to do when you're depressed is way better than having stuff to do when you're depressed.

Reply to comment by Wholesale100Acc in Humans are one of the few species that sees the raising of our arms as a sign of peace rather than aggression. by crookshanks_cat
No but at this point it is all semantics and the limits of language to communicate thoughts, in the literal sense predator is almost always synonymous with carnivorous, and only through metaphor does predator get applied to other behavior unrelated to diet. The terms are further muddied by outlier behavior such as house cats that prey on everything smaller then themselves for what seems to be entertainment, though the actions taken are identical to actual hunting behavior for food for the most part, or even stranger, predatory/carnivorous deer, scientifically accepted herbivores that have been documented preying upon eggs, birds, mice, squirrels, and carrion... but this is reddit I guess where the points don't matter and semantics can send a random stranger into a digital rage.

Nah. Things deteriorate.
Given enough time it will be desintegrated by "random" events.
Example, I lost something in a volcano but the very volcano erupted and my thing was destroyed. After some billion years earth is eaten by the sun and the remaining molecules of the thing will be torn apart by it. The atoms that remain after that can even survive untill the black hole era but then they will converted to energy and swallowed by several black holes. Your thing stoped being that thing by the volcano event, you can't find it after that nor it's remains. If you think you still think you can, well then no one will survive the other events so your thing (what remains of it) isn't findable anymore because there is no one to find it. QED

Like my ECE 101 professor J. Campbell Martin said many times all those years ago, "Close enough for all practical purposes."

I'm part of a union that goes through slow slumps, ended up spending months at home. No real money to do anything, no real motivation either.
It was cool the first month. Months 2 and 3 had me itching for that call from work telling me that they had a job for me to go to.

You'd think so but books aren't even issued for some classes. Some teachers rely on online sources to teach "just watch this Kahn Academy video". Or it's all online and the site is down or links don't work properly. Not to mention the number of mistakes I've seen in my child's homework. Sometimes, the homework doesn't even make sense or is not aligned with the course. And there's unrealistic deadlines that almost feel punitive sometimes.
Something is wrong, more frequently than it should be, and it's that art/science of teaching is lost on some teachers. As a parent, I've had to address with more than I'd hoped I would need to.
Not to say there aren't good teachers out there...there definitely are. And I know it's challenging and they lack resources. Yes, homework is for students. But students need support at home as well (and teachers will tell you that). Learning doesn't happen solely at school.

It’s good to be current. No need to post any past reason.
