School takes a large portion of our lives as it is, and half of our bloody day. So what I'm saying is that once school is over for the day - that is IT! No homework or anything to do with school until we go to school the next day. Studying for tests should only be done at school, period. Why do I think it should be this way? Because I believe this will SIGNIFICANTLY end students from skipping school. Homework = skipping school, no homework = ends skipping school significantly (not completely because of bullying etc. etc).

Take the message from the Media themselves for example, "ReFresh". They are telling employees to Relax more during lunch hour and STOP over working. Its the same thing with education. Get the point I'm trying to make?

No. Your basically asking for schools to let you loaf around all day listening to iPods and text messaging friends in class, then let you go for the day so you can do the same thing except from the comfort of your parents couch while playing guitar hero and warcraft.

Homework is for a reason. And if you dont like homework in grade school, your not going to get past the first day of entry level college!

And if you think its so easy in the workforce, heh, you have no friggin clue about real life.

I would suggest you get with the program, stop being lazy and start growing up before you find yourself living off of mommie and daddy at the age of 30 still loafing on their couch playing guitar hero 5.

Its called life. And its called responsibility. Something that needs to be learned at an early age.



Cheers!!!!

I don't think it would result in kids loafing around; I think it would encourage teachers to be more efficient. One thing that really sticks out in my high school experience is when we'd have some sort of assembly and end up with 15-minute classes, we got a LOT done. The teachers got it together and put the entire classtime to good use, as opposed to normal days where they'd ramble on or throw in an irrelevant activity. Homework just adds to how bloated the whole system is.

I had far more homework in high school than in college, and the "responsibility" of homework isn't all that similar to the responsibilities of the average adult's life. Some kind of class on financial management would be far more helpful in preparing students.
