STOP DOING HOMEWORK

CHILDREN WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO SPEND TWELVE HOURS A DAY DOING SCHOOLWORK

YEARS OF BUSY WORK yet NO REAL WORLD USE FOUND for replacing free time with MORE SCHOOL

Wanted to learn during your free time anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: it was called "THE LIBRARY"

"The assignment is due tomorrow. It is worth 50 percent of your grade." - Statements dreamt up by the utterly deranged

"Sorry can't go out tonight, I have homework"

They have played us for absolute fools

@redsad memes aside, are you only against assignments that children are supposed to do outside of the time dedicated to classes, and hand in? Or are you opposed to children needing to study outside of school hours at all?
@wolf480pl I'm for children having free time for self care and pursuing their own interests
@redsad me too. But how do you propose the society should make that happen? What policy do you propose?

@redsad
For example, in Poland, teachers were forbidden from giving students homework, but they can still ask students to prepare for a task they'll have to do in class.

So, for example, they can't say
"do exercises 3.10, 3.11 a-d and 3.12 a-b on page 24 and hand them in by tomorrow"
but they can say
"tomorrow I'll be asking random people to do exercises 3.10 3.11 a-d and 3.12 a-b from page 24 by the blackboard, feel free to try doing them at home if you want to be prepared"

Is that better?

@redsad on one hand, it emphasizes the abilities children learn, instead of the grind of adding two numbers 20 times.

So I think that's good.

On the other hand, it frees up the time of those who already know how to do the exercise, could do it in seconds and have the rest of the day off. But it doesn't do anything for those who struggle.

So it doesn't really solve anything for the children who need a solution the most.

@wolf480pl I'm not proposing policy, I'm an internet goofball making a silly joke.
@redsad @wolf480pl thid but replace 'free time for self care and pursuing their own interests' to 'literally any rights'
