They should ban homeworks
Frederick Douglass
You've got it backwards. Homework isn't the enemy, it's the bridge between classroom and mastery. Without it, students only learn in 45-minute bursts, then forget everything by Friday.
The real problem isn't homework itself, it's poorly designed homework. Kids drowning in busywork—that's a teacher problem, not a homework problem. Good homework reinforces what matters. Bad homework wastes time. Banning it all throws out the tool because some people misuse it.
Plus, where's the accountability? You want schools sending kids home with nothing, then wondering why test scores crater? Practice makes perfect. That's not oppression, that's how learning actually works.
What's your beef, really—too much, or homework altogether?
