Homework.

Oi. Yet another reminder of how I only have 6 days of vaction left. Arrgh.

The question I pose in these wee hours it this: is homework good or bad? Here's my take.


Homework because of incomplete assignments.

I think that this is good. If you don't finish it at school, you do it at home.


Assigned homework.

Horrible idea. You do work at *school*, you don't just go there, sit for six hours, and then do the work at home. Many teachers forget that children have a life outside school. One of my (former) teachers said "At (school name) we want to do school work, go home, and then do more work." That's entirely presumpeous and arrogant. What, all I do is schoolwork?

Thank God in Heaven I go to a school with really *intelligent* teachers who enjoy their jobs, and most of all, teaching. And I meet a lot of nice people, too. Intelligence and niceness tend to go hand & hand there, the same is true with meanness. Most of the 'jocks' (no offense to athletes, I'm talking about the 60's stereotype) have left basic courses incomplete.
