Why were teachers assigning so much homework in the 90s? I used to get at least 1 hour of homework per class per day on top of sports and clubs. My kids barely get any homework from their school now.

i complained about this nonstop as a kid and i was always told in response that homework was necessary to "help reinforce what you learn in class"

i think at some point everyone realized this was flame because the dumb kids never learn anything regardless and the smart kids learn everything by osmosis anyway

It was twisted when you think about it. Kids were doing 4 hours of homework a night. We had to cheat from time to time just to complete all the assignments

it really pissed me off. total waste of time. i was a really oppositional kid in general and i got into a bunch of fights with teachers about homework being a waste of time

in junior high i organized a ring of students who would divide up the homework every night and then copy each other's work once complete. saved soooooo much cumulative time overall

Cr it’s a mark of how school fails in its basic function of teaching stuff. They couldn’t teach you in 7 hours a day bc school is a joke so they made you learn the actual shit at home

I hated how the different teachers of the same subject would assign vastly different amounts of homework. You could be taking the same classes as someone else and wind up with far more homework than them if you got assigned the wrong teacher

it was gay but it wasn't really the volume wrt time that was the problem. language homework for example could be done thoughtlessly in front of the tv and math was usually easy. and it could be pleasant to be assigned a good novel or history reading and if i didn't like it i'd just blow that kind of thing off. for an intelligent kid the biggest issue is the absolutely retarded geriatric tyrant women who would force you to do tedious tasks and "projects" with zero pedagogical value, because their own mental constraints prevented them from ever understanding what it means to learn. they just equated education with busy work. these would be time consuming but the real punishment was that they were the mental equivalent of being forced to go to times square on new years eve with a full bladder. you would spend the whole exercise in boredom and mental discomfort, just waiting for it to end.

I refused to do it and my grades were so bad on my 18th bday I tried to drop out so they put me on an unadvertised minimum plan to get my out the door. I then went on to fail my first semester of community college

yeah i refused to do it too and barely graduated. at middle school “graduation” i even got some different paper than everyone else that said i didn’t complete it but they allowed me through.

i did fine in ug but going to a shitty one wasn’t ideal. fuck homework

I can't remember ever really having homework besides math which imo you need the repetition to learn. If we were assigned a research paper or whatever I just downloaded one online. But I was surprised in college there was almost no homework and I found it a lot easier
