Homework isn't just boring and tedious and monotonous (which are all synonyms of boring, do you get my point?), it's unfair. Why should we have to work hard for 7 hours a day, only to go home and do more work!!! I mean, I know most of the 7 hours our teacher is yelling at us for not co-operating, or lecturing us on irrelevant stuff, like how banana's grow or whatever, BUT STILL! We're there against our will anyway, so we should just get to go home and relax.
I know that most of the time, our homework is something so easy, my little sister could do it, it still takes effort! I mean, finding the homework, getting a pencil, finding a place to work, finishing it, then putting it away, and then putting the pencil away, is a lot of work considering that I don't even want to put effort into my work. Why do teachers even give us homework if it's just wasting time? Don't they know that we're not going to do it, or that we'll just do it on our way to school the next morning? That's why Sunday nights are a beautiful thing. You have a whole two days to procrastinate (see my post on procrastination) and not do it, then, it's like a regular school night where as your in bed your silently doing the homework so that your parents aren't wondering what your doing.
And then, there's the occasion that the homework actually IS hard, then not only do you have to do the regular procedure, but you have to actually think!!! EEEW!! I don't want to think on my free time. I don't understand why teachers give homework, I'm sure that they've learned the lesson, that only a couple students actually put time and effort into the homework assignment. Homework is even worse when it's something boring, like glossary/vocabulary words. So. Boring. Makes. Me. Want. To. Cry. From. Boredom.
If you have a teacher who gives homework regularly, it's not that bad because then you get used to it. However, if you have a teacher that gives homework inconsistently, then chances are they are going to give you homework on the worst day possible for you to have homework! They'll assign a ton of homework on the day that you have soccer, art class, AND baby sitting all on the same day, leaving you with 2 minutes to complete the tedious, monotonous and BORING homework that you need about 30 minutes to complete. Crap. Then, you explain to the teacher that you didn't have time to complete it and they get all mad and pull out the "I don't ask you for much, but when I ask you for something, I want you to put your best effort forward" rant and they get pissed off at you. OR, even worse, your teacher usually doesn't collect homework, so you don't put any effort into it and the ONE TIME that you don't try, your teacher collects it and needs to talk to you about your future and blah and blah and blah. I DON'T NEED TO TALK ABOUT MY FUTURE LIFE JUST BECAUSE I FAIL AT HOMEWORK!!! I'm pretty sure that's what goes through your mind when teachers pull that one.
School is school and home is home. I associate school with the following adjectives: boring, entertaining, exhausting, strange, messed-up, weird, screw-up and stressful. I associate home with the following adjectives: calm, serene, fun, relaxing and laid-back. I don't want my only calm place to be invaded by the insane creepy mutated aliens that people so formally call homework!!! Don't you agree?
It's not that I don't care about my grades in school, it's just that I FREAKING HATE HOMEWORK!!! Homework should be banned. Period. It's so pointless! Studies show that kids who don't have homework are happier, healthier and more productive in school compared to those who get a lot of homework??? Of course, teachers don't believe that, because they're stubborn obnoxious stuck-up people:)
If you hope, that one day you will be a teacher, don't be offended. It's just the truth:)
With my delicious, moist, fresh baked muffin in hand, I leave you, yearning for my next post. If there is on one. lol
heyy, u fixed it!!! good job!!:D and ya, like, m.sanschagrin's homework is pointless, but mlle lebels is actually worth it, cuz even if ur just doing glossary words or something, if u forget wat something means u can always go back and check. and for me, it actually helps me understand wat the words mean(cuz im stupid). for m.sanschagrin, we just repeat stuff over and over but in mlle lebels class, we take notes and thats pretty much it. she takes a long time to explain everything, but in the end you'll get it wway better than if it was m.s! and then u can go back to tudy for the test, cuz ur report grade is made up of ur test, how u answer questions in class, and how well u mark other people's stuff. THE END!!!!!:D :D :D
ReplyDeleteIn 1957, during the height of the Cold War, the Russians launched Sputnik and beat America into space. They were pissed off, worried and confuzled. What happened? How had the Russians managed to get into space before them? Weren't they the world's Super Power, the country with the most advanced technology? they thought they had to do a better job teaching kids. And that is how it went from no homwork or very very little homework to tons of homework. 'cause americans are sore losers.
