I have to agree here Op, I absolutely hate homework.  I find it boring and repetitive.

....

so what you're saying is that every teacher who has been to university is a good teacher?

that's handicapped

You weren't listening were you? They'd have to.

Most teachers just do what teachers have always done. I have teachers that actually thought about the matter by themselves.

But homework is meant to practice the concept of matter. It is to prove to teachers that you know what they taught.

I'm pretty sure teachers are required to give kids homework.

I'll certainly have to agree with this
my math teacher last year was complete stuff. Ate and sat at her desk all period and expected us to learn the math by just copying it off of the board. Kinda hard to do when nobody is making examples for it all year

I'm pretty sure teachers are required to give kids homework.
Then a few of my teachers should be fired.

are you one of those kids who isn't, "fast?"
What does that have to do with anything?
Are you saying because I take longer time to do homework I would like it more?
Wouldn't it be the other way around?

I hate homework and yes it is preteen dumb assert

You weren't listening were you? They'd have to.
how the hell would universities test how well they can teach? literally think about what you're saying. they can't.

they're taught the theories behind teaching, tested on those theories and that's it. they aren't tested on how well they teach

The universities send these students to schools and stuff to determine how they do in the class before they get their degree.

Homework is commonly disliked among students, and I don't particularly like it either but it does benefit me and I do not have a problem doing it. I do it every day because sometimes in class I may take a 15-30 minute nap and might miss out on a lesson, and reviewing on the lesson at home does help.

have you ever JUST got a pass mark for a test?

you don't think that happens in university? you don't think people can only JUST pass the tests to become teachers?

going to university does not guarantee you'll be good at anything when you leave - EVEN if you pass.

Except for the fact they do a student teacher thing and get evaluated on how well they taught. I do agree that stuff teachers make it through still. But they do evaluate how well you can actually teach

if that's what you want to call it.

I also like to call it a lazy forget.

you dont think that happens in university? you don't think people can only JUST pass the tests to become teachers?

You're contradicting yourself here. Didn't you just say that the degree can't determine how someone's teaching ability is?

that's different from over here then, my mistake. they still have student teachers but it's an absolute joke and the evaluations are worthless. it's the theory tests on the psychology of learning that are important in aust

The theory tests

teaches you discipline to do things when you don't want to do them

If you're one of the 'fast kids', is homework really that much time taken out of your day?
Half of the time, I don't really feel bothered to do it.
Unless, of course, it's 30% of my grade and I can't go into the hottest high school without it
