Unpopular Opinion

People often make the argument that, since you do not take work home with you after clocking out from your job, then you shouldn't have to bring any work with you when you go home from school.

From the time you clock in until the time you clock out at your job, you are doing work FOR your employer, and they are paying you based on the amount of time you were clocked in. When you are doing homework, you are not doing work for your teacher or for your school. If you don't do it, your teacher and your school will be just fine. The work is for you. And you are doing it outside of school hours because, ideally, it should be the kind of work that is best completed in an untimed setting, on your own, until you can ask questions about it the next day at school.

Now watch some user by the name of Mark Paul freak out because I am posting about homework again....
Depends on the job. If your hourly your job stays at work. If you’re salaried your work often goes home with you.

Homework benefits the doer, not the teacher.

The two ideas really don’t connect.

@TwiddlerofThumbs Yes, you understand exactly why I hate the comparison between working and going to school here.

only an idiot would say that homework is a waste of time

@SW-User Or someone who is biased by laziness. I get there's a such thing as bad homework assignments or excessive homework assignments, but the way that people who totally misunderstand the point of homework, in general, go around making prescriptive statements about our education system, is scary.

@33person yeah it’s the same kids who end up failing all their classes
