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 not sure that statement applies to everyone. The things I learned in my free time, and stuff we should have done in class but didn't, are pretty much directly related to the career I work in now. Software development. In school, our IT lessons were so poor we didn't really get much past hello world. Felt like our teacher was forced into IT lessons in the 80's. But homework made us write small coding tasks, luckily I had a Spectrum48K to test them on. Not saying this applies to everyone.
