i do online school so there are no pointless homework assignments. All of my assignments and quizzes are organized, straight to the point, and on topic thus i don't feel like any of my time is wasted.

@untikati most of my classes next semester are online, I'm hoping to have the same experience as you. I've never actually taken a class online before, so I'm jumping in with both feet having all but one class be online.

it's so funny to hear people say that teachers "just want to make it difficult for difficulties sake" i know many many people who teach, and not one of them feels this way. they understand students have lives, but they are trying to help the students meet goals, goals of the university, goals of the course, career goals, that many students may not even realize are in play.

and yeah, in my class, if you pay attention in lecture, you probably wouldn't need to read the book.

[themefund]

@anuitblanche1 in all likelihood it's not the teachers who are making it difficult for students, but rather the system at large which is imposing more rigorous educational goals without providing an *effective* framework and methodology to carry out and meet those goals.

I do think there are some teachers who needlessly unload their own ineptitude onto students via homework though, I've been privy to that sort of abuse in my past.

this is andie btw

@anuitblanche1 hi!

@Kizales are you saying China is not?

[OldMama505]

I HATE HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

Whew.

[maankindj]

teachers have alot of preparation to the lessons they're going to give ;)

[iwins3]

whats the thing with your head?

[Kizales]

@tobiosnmakky No, not at all. China has excellent scores, BUT a lot of that can be explained by the fact that it's not an evenly based education system. They determine the kids' education by how well they do in school. If you're not one of the kids in the top tier of the class, then you'll be working in the labor force. It's not just China, but other Asian countries adopt this method as well. The kids that make it are the "geniuses" who are completely inundated with schoolwork, which is a shame.

[tobiosnmakky]

I suppose the closest things would be self employed people, or perhaps professions such as artist, or things whereby your job and real life have blurred lines.

but the point isn't really whether you will have to work like that ever again but more if you need to during school years. I think the value of homework is to recap over things so you don't just do them once in class and then leave it over the weekend or all of a break

@wytherwings ftw

[wytherwings]

also YES I definitely have a lot of homework (plus college apps...)

[wytherwings]

I was definitely doing my homework while watching this

My g-daughter's school district has adopted a college curriculum. K. starts with homework every night, and weekend assignments. 1st g.: 2 books a night, and site words. But, she has to be able to spell them. She knows them by site. She is already getting burned out on school. And they will be ramping up as the year progresses. Pretty pathetic IMO. There is so much going on in class, the teachers all need a TA just to get it all in. Kids are gonna 'esplode' before they get in middle school.
