I dunno. I'm going back to school in my 30's, and doing my homework is making a world of difference in helping me understand what's going on. Math was always my weakest subject in HS and has always remained weak for me...I'm still spinning back up on how to be a student again, but I'm staying pretty disciplined about my algebra hw, and I'm crushing it this semester. So...can't say I really agree with this take, OP.

Quizzes, Tests, or just Review questions.

chill songs for studying

Wait.. you guys use vpns and incognito?

What do you mean by review in class? You also have to take in consideration that not every school system is the same even if they might share similarities. I can tell you my highschool did not prepare me to be a compliant employee.

You are right on that point. Having small sheets of homework until an exam to just vomit it on a paper is the worse thing. I'm a good example. I can't really recall most of the things I learned in highschool because this method was employed. It is beneficial on the short term, but not in the long term. Thank you for taking some time to give me your point of view:)

Why don't teachers just review in class then?

Also, all of the public school system is designed to make better, more compliant employees. Literally comes from the mouth of Rockefeller, who founded the education board.

Think it depends on the kind of homework.

Like giving larger projects that allow students to devote time and study to it can be very beneficial, but the sheets of homework being given out everyday often has the opposite effect. Students just learn it to answer the questions and pass the test but never really commit it to memory.

No, of course you don't need it to succeed. What I'm saying is, you're going to succeed better by doing it. You're going to retain information way better if you do some homework after a class than if you just go home and start playing a video game. It's kind of the equivalent of redoing the important parts of the class. I'm not saying homework is fun, I'm saying it's useful if you do it well.

You do know homework was created as a punishment, right? We don't actually need it to succeed.

Why is shipping so expensive? That website I visited said they were in my area!

I don't know if I agree with this. I see your point, but I think homework is more meant to make sure you understood the class.

DRS mode for your head

Homework only exists to instill in the child that bringing your work home with you is expected and something you should do without complaint. To make kids better employees.

So.. exactly what are you producing?

childhood be so boring without and id never make friends

The people who think homework is stupid are usually the people who don't do it. And the people who don't do their homework are usually the ones that don't understand anything at the exam and start crying. Trust me y'all, do you homeworks, that's how I got through highschool without ever needing to open a book to study.

Edit: alright guys, I know you have some strong opinions on this, but instead of downvoting me, try to show me your point of view. Just downvoting me isn't going to make me learn anything other than "shut up".

world is shit, always has been, pretty much always will be. big deal, nothing we can do
