HOMEWORK

Homework-Any work that needs to be completed at home

Sooo...hw, sucks doesn't it? Im pretty sure most high school students agree with that statement. Alright, i totally understand if a teacher assigns homework which will help the student understand the material, but giving out homework just for the sake of making it look like they are doing their job...Its a Bad Idea

For example, i feel like copying notes off a powerpoint is one of the most pointless activities a teacher can have their students do. Like seriously? I know we can multi-task, but that doesn't mean that we can copy like 2 pages of notes a day while listening to the teacher explain it all and then be able to comprehend all that information. If the point of a class is so students can learn certain information, then the teachers need to do at least that. These teachers have gone through years of schooling to be trained for this, and if they can't even teach their students, then maybe they shouldn't be teaching. (Don't worry Mr. Logsdon, we actually learn a bunch of stuff in your class, so you don't count as one of these teachers) Classes need to be interactive. I don't know if teachers realize, but i would say within the first15 minutes of the class students begin to zone out, and thats why teachers need to find new strategies teach.

Last but not least, the one thing that angers me the most is the excessive, unnessecary homework academy students are assigned. There is no reason for this work, its just busy work and just because we are in the academy.
