Ugh...

Homework sucks. Although often useful, homework is a free time murderer. I mean, I understand the need for homework in a lot of clases, math, science and, foreign language are probably the most common. And I can understand and occasional assignment in other clases, for example vocavulary for english, or, reading for a history class. But that doesn't mean it doesn't suck.Homework teaches, but it's just a "oh we don't have time to do this in class, so you can take it home and finish it" type thing. And if clases were long enough to incorporate that "extra practice" that would be considered class work, and then there would be more homework. So what really is the point of homework? Is it more practice? Because sometimes it seems like the class work is sufficient practice, and if the homework is THE CLASSWORK, then it's fine for it to be homework. That's basically giving an extension on the classwork. But homework by itself is redundant sometime. And I know that repitition is a proven way to learn but sometimes it's overdone. So homework CAN be okay, if it's not OVERLY repititive.
