Remember getting hours of “homework” in MS and HS?

What was the value in homework you could or would complete in front of the TV? That's part of why it was terrible. You didn't get much out of it. You just had to take the time and energy of going through the motion of doing it. |
|
Date: May 22nd, 2025 8:29 AM Author: smoky cuck it's all a product of bureaucracy and stupid women.
the kind of work that you could do in front of a tv (eg math) is assigned just to prove that tasks are being assigned and completed, for stupid parents who need to be shown that their kids are "doing something" and bureaucrats who rely on test scores etc to win funding and elections. it has nothing to do with real education, and parents and bureaucrats are happy to enforce it because they do not understand what education means (and most people in the public school system are hopeless anyways, so they might as well learn to be productive). but at least it serves a practical purpose in serving as a kind of IQ test and sorting mechanism to identify intellectually gifted children. and from there you can separate out the intelligent kids and hopefully give them something a little better, if you're a wise enough parent.
the time-consuming busy work "projects" are the worst though because they do not even accomplish this, they are simply the product of tyrannical women indulging their desire for power and influence over the youth, and affirming their frivolity and vanity as having social and moral value. thus dei macaroni art projects about billy collins become "the foundation of democracy" or some gay shit. |

Date: May 22nd, 2025 7:57 AM Author: histrionic nubile mad-dog skullcap filthpig Think of how many thousands (literally thousands) of prime boyhood hours were wasted on senseless homework, times millions and millions of American boys.
Huge amounts of homework from 2nd through 12th grade was a big part of the reason that I, and many, many other boys disliked school. (My wife, and many girls who liked getting gold star stickers from teachers, of course, loved it and ate it up.)
For most of the day, you had to sit still, copy things off the board, pay attention, and not joke around with your friends. There would be a few fun moments--recess, PE, a science project, learning something new in math or history. But most of the day was rote and boring. Almost excruciatingly so, at timess. Then, mercifully, you'd be released at 3:00. Except you weren't really released. The school's tentacles invaded your home.
You needed to read some textbooks, fill out worksheets, do math problems, read some generally unexceting book for English (sometimes we read interesting books), and work on a take-home essay. Thirty minutes per class per night times six classes was three hours of homework each and every night. And thirty minutes per class was not much by the standards of the day. And there were "projects" on top of that and quizes and tests to study for.
So much of the homework was boring busy work. You didn't learn anything from filling in blanks on a worksheet, but that was the assignment. You had to do 30 minutes of math problems. If you "got" it after the first 10 minutes, you were good to go and the last 20 minutes were a waste. And if you didn't get it after the first 10 minutes, you weren't going to after the next 20.
The one thing you can say for all that homework is that it sure prepared you for a career in biglaw. |

Date: May 22nd, 2025 8:02 AM Author: Talking principal's office fortuitous meteor Childhood education is deeply adrift.
The most fundamental problem - and its nothing but problems - is that no one can say what it is for.
Its de facto purpose is to warehouse kids in a meaningless way, so both of their parents can do meaningless work.
AI will most certainly eliminate the parents' jobs. This will not reunite the family, though, because AI will likely be put in charge of the kids. What will it train them for, if not to take over the parents' former jobs? Who the fuck knows....
We are facing a philosophical dilemma that we have not faced for millennia. I don't see any answers around
Most dystopian possibility is that our new "role" is to screen-stare, so the purpose of childhood education is to train us to do so, beating out of our personalities anything that rebels against screens. |

You could, e.g., ask a ten year old of average intelligence what his favorite movie is and three things he likes about it, and he could tell you the answer in a series of reasonably coherent sentences. If you handed him a pen and paper and told him to write down, using complete sentences, the name of his favorite movie and three things he likes about it, he would be confounded.
Why? It's just putting on paper the same sentences he would have no problem speaking out loud. |

Date: May 22nd, 2025 8:54 AM Author: High-end frum ticket booth There was definitely way too much homework then, in large part because there was zero consideration for how much other teachers might be assigning. If I'm taking 6 classes and each one gives me 30 minutes of homework, that's 3 hours of already limited after-school time. There was eventually more of an awareness that it should just be 10-15 minutes of work per class to reinforce the learning and help keep it moving efficiently.
But now it's going too far the other way where there's NO homework. Learning is much slower overall when they don't get the extra practice in because that all ends up being done in class, and they don't develop a good work ethic. It's part of the gentle/permissive parenting trend. |

Date: May 22nd, 2025 8:57 AM Author: cerebral spot police squad It's truly baffling that we've ended up trending towards parenting which is both more permissive *and* involves exponentially more direct parent involvement in child's lives. My parents were never constantly chauffeuring me between activities, sometimes they'd take me and most of the time I'd get a ride with someone else. Rode the bus. Etc.

Date: May 22nd, 2025 9:07 AM Author: Ultramarine Provocative Volcanic Crater Garrison My Big State U math dept rolled out some new homework program my freshman year where we would get weekly online assignments for engineering calculus that took 15+ hrs. Often the questions were to take the derivative of some MASSIVE equation that was far more complicated and messy than something they'd put on a test, and you needed to type your 75 character answer into a tiny box that you could only highlight scroll through, and if a single fraction was misspaced (the questions had their numbers randomized so we couldn't copy each other and thus wouldn't simplify themselves as you solved them like human-made problems often do) the portal gave you a fat WRONG response and you could spend the next 30min figuring out what you fucked up. Oftentimes some part of a fraction wasn't wrapped within the quadruple nested parentheses square root abomination. Meanwhile the rest of my dorm majoring in english or business was nonstop fucking & sucking and I'd often just give up and join them.

Date: May 22nd, 2025 10:05 PM Author: fiercely-loyal market macaca The purpose of this is to break down the barrier to working hard. You need to break the rebellious spirit of boys and have them just accept that you need to work to get ahead. I’m one of the few people who thinks there is value in that, and ceremony, and ritual, and so I don’t really have a problem with it. Yes, some geniuses will be unfairly penalized, but they actually need to learn how to work hard, complete tasks, and close the loop if they want to function in the world. Especially a world that now has 80% busybody shrews project managing everything. It’s not like these kids would be pursuing passion projects in computer programming or doing introspective writing projects/journaling these days—they would just be playing fortnight or spanking it to hard core porn.

take math for instance, someone can show you how to do something, but until you've done it by yourself, you haven't really understood/learned it. |
