Tell me? What is the point in homework? Do they really want us to waste our lives that could be used for stuff with a point! We do enough work in school, we don't need more work as well!

...


What do you think? :|
 
Depends on the school system you're in. The point in repetitive homework is to drill the topic into your head because you're a stupid moron like the rest of 'em. The point in new subjects appearing in homework is to try and teach you even more when you're not in school, thus you'll probably become a more successful buisnessman who is always "at work" even when they're supposed to be at home or on vacation. Either way, the point is also to get you used to doing work you don't really want to, and actually choose to do so, thus making you a successful worker/slave in preparation for your future life as a useless average joe.
 
Ahh, I wrote a 1 page essay on this yesterday. I might have to collect it off my teacher so I can scan it and show you guys. It's nothing special, and my writing is messy.
 
When I asked a few years ago, my Teachers said it was to "give us more practice and encourage learning outside of school."

I always figured it was kinda pointless cos i'd learnt it all from watching science shows on CBBC and other documenteries.

The wierd thing was, the documenteries on TV always matched what I was studying at school... Freaky...

What he/she really means is: it's so you can't get any free time to do whatever you want. =/
 
Do what your teacher says. You'll appreciate it later.
 
the truth is, homework sucks but, that doesnt mean its pointless, if you work hard enough on homework, you will learn alot more and understand the subjects better...

Amen.


HAHAHAHAHA!
Seriously, if I did everything my teacher says, I wouldn't be here right now. I'd be locked in a safe kept away from the world. =P
 
Personally, I find a good reason in doing homework. I'd like a good education, job, carreer, and life, eventually. I see nothing wrong with homework.

I'm home schooled. So, I don't necessarily have homework.

Of course you do. All of your work is homework. ;)

I was homeschooled for the last third of my school years (8th on up).
 
To me, it really just depends on the homework. Most of the time, I find the homework to be pointless for two reasons: 1. I always have work on the computer to do, and 2. most of the stuff I already learned at school and need little more reviewing. Often, though, when it's only about like 14 problems of geometry, I find it sufficable and at least slightly efficient. I really haven't a problem with schoolwork.

Well i never did any of my english homework (except for coursework...) and still managed to get a final grade of B, even though I thought i'd get a D. (I'm talking about GCSEs - The compulsary qualifications we brits suffer. A-Levels are much better cos they're optional.)
 
in my theory (omg i know what a theory is ?!? :eek: )

if they didnt give me homework, I would forget what I learned way easier.

the more you see it, the more you retain it in your brain.

:EDIT: and while were in the homework topic, could you explain
something to me?

3rd quarter I got honor roll (85~88 average)
4th quarter I got high honor roll (88~90+ average)
on my math final exam(I am a year ahead in math) I got a 50?!?
and this year (10th grade) they still let me continue to course 3 math.

Figured this was topical. Seems like a "No duh" to me, but I always found that homework was by far the most awful part of school. I got horrible grades in high school, and then when I hit college and homework no longer counted towards my grade, my GPA went up by a full point.
 
thats really fantastic mystic...

For me... well... I thought doing homework was boring and whenever i got stuck im something... i'd just say 'Screw it... im not doing this' and close everything i have and start playing games... its because im so lazy and dont want to struggle with my time on one question for half the night...

the only time when i get stuff done is when im working with someone on a project... I call that person over and we would just work for a couple hours... then take a break for the rest of the night (unless the project had to be handed in the next day >.<;)

I just think that homework is boring, even though its good for you in the end

believe it or not, i still managed to get a B+ or somewhere around those grades in most of my classes :mrgreen:
 
Homework is a stupid thing our nazi teachers give us it serves no true purpose you can't force people to do it in these times so people just will not do it I mean come on if they want me to do it they would have to A. pay me or B. beat my ass. This is whats wrong with america now a days and why homework no longer has a pupose!
Oh I forgot got to say they get the worksheets they give out from retarded elfs :mrgreen: .
