I have said this before, and will say this again. Homework is bullshit. Students do not need that. We already work our asses off for 7-8 hours each school day. Then we go home just to... Work our asses off again? How pointless! Almost like the school system thinks, oh, they're kids. They can't possibly have lives. Let's force more unnecessary work on them so they have something to do! Nope, actually, we do have lives. At least, we would like to. Homework takes up a stupid amount of our time, which we could spend in personal ways, or even use it to take care of ourselves. As far as I know, there is no job that sends you home with more work once you're done working at whatever that job is. If there is such a thing, correct me, but I don't know of one right now. And even that. You get paid for working at a job. Over all, homework is not realistic.

@Kaliah Nah, noty true but maybe you will understand when you are older. I mean, hoomeworks are bullshit but not because of a reason you say. They are very pointless and impractical, but you need to work in you free time to understand a subject toroughly.

@Kaliah Plus, almost all jobs require you to work overtime. Policemen, doctors, teachers, programmers. That’s just called life.

@Nuno @Kaliah You really shouldn't be required to work overtime. I agree with you in some ways that homework can be necessary, in that it helps you refresh your mind on the topics you learned. However, the normalisation of working overtime should really not be happening. #AntiWork

@Kaliah Yup, there is one. Being a teacher. They get treated like shit, and made to work on their days off, often times without pay. But that's an exception, not the rule.

And to be clear: I don't think that, for example, studying for a test at home is a bad thing. But stupid busywork? Yeah no.

Kaliah

@TheQuinbox Yeah, studying at home for a test is fine. But work that serves no purpose is stupid.

Quin

@Kaliah Or hell, even finishing stuff you didn't in class isn't that bad. But extra stuff, specifically for at home? Nope.

Kaliah

@TheQuinbox Yeah, if you need to finish something from in class, I get that. That's your responsibility. But exclusive homework shouldn't exist.

@TheQuinbox @Kaliah I agree with everything said here! I loved attending school, but it's thanks to the homework that I hardly had much of a life, until I became an adult and finished school all-together.
