Author Topic: Do you prefer nothing to do or too much to do  (Read 2785 times)

you must be in middle school
I'm a Junior in HS. You'll understand this when you get to High School. People in your class (pretty much 1/2 of it) come to your table w/ 10 minutes left and horde your homework.

Fixed.
Depends on the homework.
Some are just stupid and take unnecessary amounts of time.

And oh my god, how come no matter what bloody year of my education I am in, I can't escape from loving teachers giving me homework to make a loving poster.

16 years old, in college, studying A-Levels, and my teacher asks me to make a loving poster on anti-cancer drugs.
Why not ask me to do something productive, like actually researching it. Putting it in an essay or something.
Just because you need to decorate your loving classroom. Like I was going to waste the time it took to do that, when I could do actual revision and exam-prep.

If my teacher wants me to learn some more at home, I'd rather just be told to go off and read a text book or some articles. Atleast I'll do that.

I'm only going into tenth grade, and I know that homework, especially math, doesn't just take a couple of minutes
I'm not arguing homework is bad; it's not. I'm arguing that you can't just take a couple of minutes to get it done

Let me explain how it works:

1. Someone does their homework:
2. Classmate copies because they didn't do it.
3. More desperate classmates come.

You'll see it more as you advance in High School. Probably not at the start of 10th Grade, but as things become more difficult and require work, people stop doing them.

Nothing to do is better than having too much to do, IMO
I stress out so much when I have too much to do

that's not what you said, though, Jeep.
you said "Homework makes kids take out a couple minutes of their lunch to do school work for the next class. I don't like it at all."

Yes. It takes a couple minutes for them to do their homework. Technically, they did it. They just cheated. I thought you would have picked up on that when I said a couple of minutes, and the next class.

Throughout my education, this only ever happened when there were easy homeworks.

If it was a short homework, or something that can very be quickly copied over (like maths), then the few people who were either pre-occupied (read:lazy) or forgot, would occassionally ask.
Most people did their work.

And in College (Which I think is equal to your High School?), there was never any copying unless it was a really simple homework forgotten.
Because usually, if you couldn't do the homework, then you probably needed help from the teacher. And if you don't make the time to do most homeworks, you're not gonna do brilliantly.
It was never a case of someone doing homework and then others copying, but more, someone does the homework, and others come along and go through it with them, or everyone does their homework together.

I don't think anyone picked up on that

Is High School compulsary for you? Since it equals College for me, which is entirely optional.
And usually, if you don't do the homework because it's too difficult, then you're not smart enough to still be studying that subject.

high school is mandatory in the united states until you're 16 (or 17, I think it varies between states)

If this happens to you it basically makes you the nerd of the class, desperate for attention.
If you were normal you would tell them to forget off, and they would forget off.

I don't think anyone picked up on that
No one else seemed to be confused about it.

If you're smart, and are in a basic class (me!), you're going to get horded for copiers (mainly people you sit with). You said you're 16 and in college. So you most likely had upper-classes. People in upper-classes generally tend to care about their education.

Not sure what college has to do with this? I myself do my homework as it should be done (95% of the time). High School is required for everyone under the age of 16. After 16, it is the parents jurisdiction until they turn 18.

If this happens to you it basically makes you the nerd of the class, desperate for attention.
If you were normal you would tell them to forget off, and they would forget off.
So, doing your homework makes you a nerd that is desperate for attention? People copy from people who copy, or copy from people who do their homework. It makes no difference. Because at times, I'll have to copy theirs. And telling people to forget off in High School isn't going to work well.

isnt copying bad and like against the rules..?

i hate copiers. My friend snuck a secret camera and caught a copier on his tape and showed it to the teacher.
