each year we gett alot more work and i try to do it but i can't cuz they don't fully explain it and i have like every subject a mountain full. Well do u gett this much ??????cuz i can't deall so if u do tell me how u handle it PLZ PLZ!

No joke--I have generally have at least four hours of homework a night, usually more like five or six--even on weekends. Get used to it.

Yea, its killer. No night life, only having a few hours of freedom, even on the weekends. I procrastinate a lot though... so umm yea :D

Stay afterschool while your teacher is still there. when you ned help, ask her. It deals stress w/ homeworks so when you go home w/ shitload of homework, you'll be like .. this is easy stuff.

I've come to the conclusion that teachers work you like dogs during middle/high school so that you won't be lazy by the time you get to college. Except for the reading. Very intermittent written assignments but a butt-load of reading.

The reason: to prepare you for the world..
If you dont get it, don't complain to us, ask your teacher for help..I'm pretty sure, you're teacher would help you if you need help..
The reason why you get more work every year: so you learn more stuff..It's just how things are..You can't be expecting to learn the same amount you were learning in kindergarden..

'cause it's school, and it preps you for college. if you dont get it, go ask your teacher after class/school or go ask some friends.

Umm, just because.
It's good for you, I guess. Yeh'know, your teachers want you to go to good colleges, and have you do homework to gain more knowledge.
It's just what you have to deal with when you go to school.

Exactly.

By the way you type and the fact that you still like Simple Plan, I can assume you're not very old. If you think what you have now is a lot, just wait and see.

I guess they just give us homework so we can learn but SOMETIMES ITS JUST TOO MUCH and I cant do them all.

depending on ur HW.. hw is giving for various reasons.

im a hs senior and we have like "long term hw" or u can say... or i mean when they assign u this or give u a calendar and u have a due date.. i think ITS SUPPOSE to help with PLANNING and all that stuff.. because if u procastinate to the last minute.. it makes it hard for you..

im taking Gov, AFJROTC 4, Tech Theatre, Human Geography AP, CISCO (Networking Technologies.. im so gonna be Certified by the end of the year...), and PreCal.

human geography, cisco and precal are probaly my hardest classes because they tell me "this is due on this day" and if i dont work on it earlier.. u will see me working my butt off some other day..

its teaching us lessons or something.. some day ill figure it out and learn it tho

learn to work fast and well, and keep away from distractions.
sounds simple, huh.

i'm dreading ap world history.

^ SAME HERE.
I'm like writing out page after page of APWH outlines right now. It's crazy stuff.

thank god for study hall<3

We get so much homework because people forgot that we people have lives...it's a sad thing.

Yes, yes, teachers are just out to suck up all your free time.

Actually, I never saw the value of homework, either, until I hit college. But that's because college professors are too busy to assign busy work, so whatever they assign is almost definitely relevant to class. Plus, at that point, you're expected to learn largely on your own.

Oh, forgot to add. It seems like you really do need that .. extra enrichment.

You're suppoed to learn.
That's why you're in school.
It is a lot, but it helps your future.
EVen if your furture will suck.
It helps along the way.
And at least it isn't for your WHOLE life.
After school, you get your own life.

We do get alot of homework.
I think each teacher thinks that only his/her subject matters and it's the only one, and I think they just wanna move on faster so that you can get more work done and get it overwith or something.
They just wanna move on from that assignment, so they can give you another one, and....

Or they just enjoy writing on the homework board greatly.

Haha, yea.

What grade are you in, punk_girl? Homework helps you to learn, and that's why you're in school in the first place. Some kids would love to have an education, but in some countries, they don't. so, consider yourself lucky, and just try your hardest.

for those of you doing 5+ hrs per night doing hmwk, you have serious problems

you need to learn some better study habits, notetaking skills, and most importantly, time management

Learning is all about mastering something and being profecient so you can use it in real life when the opportunity comes. And the easiest way to get students is to make practice madatory ie homework.

Believe me you will long for the days when you were forced to study... at college all professors expect more of thier students and some don't even give homework or don't make it mandatory.

If you take the time to think about it, incremental studying (aka homework) is the best way to learn something. You have to learn to push yourself befor it's too late. So even though it may be tough and mundane at first take time to see the interesting aspects of every subject. Every thing you learn ties into your life and seeing the connections and opening your eyes to the world is the whole point of education.

Homework is helpful in my opinion. In my classes we only get notes, we don't really put the notes into use.

The homework helps prepare for when your tested on it.

repetition is the best way to learn

that's why you do homework :P
