Your thoughts on homework

Hated it, loved it, been married to it, whateva.

Homework is part of school-life so, unless they put up a law that bans the giving of assignments at school, then I'll be just saying that I "don't like" homework.
 
It used to be that I didn't mind homework. But in recent years it's gotten totally ridiculous with both the amount and difficulty of it... I hate having to write 15 pages worth of math equations a week, and that's after I figure out how the hell to do them (which sometimes I can't :/ )
 
When I was in high school, I had to do them, even though I hated doing so. The teachers used to give us a lot of homework and always claimed that "those are for your own good". True, but I never bothered doing them, seeing as I was one of the better students in my class, and I could do just fine without homework or anything of such sort. Though now in college, I like doing some of the assignments we are given to solve: writing/coding computer programs, assemble an old computer..
 
I hated homework, and I think that teachers can often put far too much emphasis on it's importance. I got away with doing barely any homework or just making a poor attempt with little effort. I still passed all my clases with decent grades, homework doesn't have that much of a difference. I spend all day at school studying, then the couple of hours I get of "free time", I have to spend half of it doing even more work? Screw that.

I don't think homework should be gotten rid of entirely, because when you get older and go to college, university, and also many jobs, you will need to do some work at home. Homework at school will help you get into the habit of independently studying and being able to manage your workload. So they should definitely keep it. Some schools need to cut down on it though, by a lot. It's something that becomes increasingly more important as you get older, but before then it should be a lot more relaxed. I swear I got far more homework when I was 10 years old than what I do now at college.
 
Homework is a necessary evil. I don't hate it, but I'm a horrrible procrastinator, and I've already been facing consequences. It's way more easy to stabilize newly acquired knowledge if you've to do a homework about it. Leaving me with not only one, but 2 problems if I don't do my homework.
 
Don't need it, never will. End up spending most of my time doing "homework" on websites like this. I'll basically wind up doing anything to get out of it. I also like to think of myself as a fantastic liar so my teachers are none the wiser. And as long as my grades stay in the mid 90's like they are now, who cares.
 
Good thing for me almost every homework that's not a major assignment is optional. Still, doing them is beneficial to help stabilize the lesson in my mind and even lead to a better understanding of the topic at hand. If I was less lazy, I'd probably choose to do the homework more often. A spell of completely ignoring them (lasted like a month or so) dropped my marks down by quite a bit. Don't want that to happen again.
 
Aw dammit. I had a primo response typed up but then my net went out!

Long story short, homework is a tool that many teachers use ineffectively. It is supposed to reinforce the idea or practice. If you give it everyday, the students will get tired of it, and tend to do a lackluster job on even the more important of things. If you don't know how to do something right, and go home and do it wrong theeeen, well, you will learn it wrong.

Even shorter story shorter, homework is boring, but vital(if utilized correctly.)

In my school, i find that homework doesn't really matter to normal schoolwork. Makes the point of it very silly.

Homework is pretty pointless, imo, because people don't apply themselves to doing the work. Instead, assignments are of much more value because they take a lot longer to complete and involve more brain processes.
 
Probably my least favourite thing in life. I really don't the need to do extra work outside of school. I like to think of myself as a relatively smart person, but if my grades begin to decilne drastically, I guess that I will be forced to increase my workload
 
We have enough work at school, what's the point of bringing it home? It gets forgotten and eaten by dogs. So just scrap it I say.
 
You all might hate homework/coursework, but I doubt you would know as much as you do without it.

I don't enjoy it, but it is a beneficial item that has to be done.
 
I hate homework.
Whoever invented it, shouldn't have.
