Re: The less-homework revolution? - January 13th 2009, 03:28 PM

Oh, this would be horrendous. The point of homework is to reinforce what you learn in class. Plus most students would want it removed so they don't have to "deal with school", which to me is just silly.

If anything, teachers should be moderate about the amount they give out but it shouldn't be nullified completely. Plus students should also be responsible for giving themselves a reasonable schedule. Especially in high school, where learning to balance activities and homework properly helps develop critical time management skills.

Plus, it's not recommended you study in your bedroom anyway. Studying where you can "get comfortable'' makes it less likely you'll actually get anything done.
