Homework in 7th grade is important for you to get in the habit of doing it through highschool. Homework in highschool is imortant to recieve good grades so you can get into a good college. Getting into a good college is good (and doing homework there) so you can get into the profession that you want.

By your spelling it appears that you have already taken too many shortcuts. Spend the time doing your homework instead of trying to find the easy way out. Homework teaches good working skills, skills you will need when you are an adult and have a career. It teaches responsibility and discipline. You will be glad that you took the time to learn. \n\nMy teacher gave me tons of homework and I need a shortcut.

Yes, for all the reasons listed already.  Also, homework teaches you accountability and to take responsibility for your own learning.  It is particularly important if you're planning on going to college or university after high school.  There, no one will hold your hand or coach you through your degree.  If you want it, you earn it.  The self-discipline, attention to detail, and time management skills learned from doing high school homework will save your butt in a post-secondary scenario.

I can't figure it out either.  Homerwork can be a good way to reinforce things discussed or learned in a classroom but I believe that homework for the sake of homework is indeed a waste of time.\n\nBook learning is kinda like exercise.  Without any you will live a weak and feeble existence.  Some of it is good for you.  A lot of it can make you very strong.  Too much will kill you.\n\nEach person's breaking point is a little different and more teachers need to know that.  The teacher needs to put thought into the homework too.  Often the teacher is being lazy and just assigning homework for the sake of homework.\n\nHow many intelligent people are driven off schoolwork because of mindless repetition?\n\nBut on the other hand, in the proper dose it can help your learning.  Now go do your homework.  Or don't.  You live with the consequences.

I agree.The reason why teachers give us homework everyday is,because they want us to show them how we progressed in different subjects in school.Us teens and tweens  should stand up for our rights and become individual people.We all need to learn to stand out and say NO HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!

Yes, talking from personal experiences when I was bombarded with a lot of homework from different classes. You can make life easier for yourself by pacing yourself and trying to find out which homework is due first.

Ideally you should not be helping them with homework, other than to make sure they have a place and time to do it.  The purpose of homework is to help the students strengthen their understanding of the information taught in class.\n\nTalk to the teachers if your children are having difficulty with homework. The kids should be able to complete the work on their own. If not, some help may be needed, and your school may provide some tutoring (at school) for free.

I am an undergraduate and I think my homework is fun. For some homework we get into groups and do projects. I just completed a module in which we learn how to do a good powerpoint presentation, write letters and reports.\n\nHowever if you are still in the lower level, I mean first few years of schooling, then you will learn things that you think is not useful. You always need to memorise things that you dont understand and apply them. But only in University or other Tertiary education, you will start to understand the exact meaning behind all those that you are learning and also those that you have learnt.

I am not in school anymore, but I also think there should be NO homework. You go to school to lean, why should you have to "teach yourself" after school too? The teachers tell you to not screw around because it is their time. When you get home it is your time so you shouldn't have to do their stuff.

Why do you need to know? Sounds like it's either a homework question or a scary question that doesn't deserve an answer. Need ideas or what? You know...that kind of thing.

You know..that's a really good question. Back in middle school, homework was everything. Tests were based off of homework. Now, as a junior, with three AP's, I've decided homework has NOTHING to do with your grade. Homework is literally busy work. Tests are based off your own individual learning and quizzes are things that the teachers go over during class. \n\nAlso, homework doesn't tell the teacher anything about how much you've learned. Nowadays, you have this site to help you, wikipedia, etc. Anything. \n\nIt's totally pointless. The only homework that I've found has helped me is for history. It's a bunch of reading and essays that question your knowledge about the current subject.

Often, repetition will aid in retention of the material. Homework is given to cement the concepts learned during class. It's like practice....we become proficient with practice, ask and pro sports team!

I'm for it... there are so many reasons. One, to reinforce. Two, for one to learn to work alone and with others(a parent, tutor or friend). Three, it really does prepare you for the real world when you will have to do homework ALL the time. WHat car to buy, what insurance to get, what bank to deal with, etc.
