Couldn’t agree more. Homework was something I dreaded all the time. I skipped most of my homework whenever possible and my grades reflected it. For some odd reason I did well on tests, possibly by cramming the night before - a skill that did well by me through college. Doing well on tests got me by enough to get a 3.4 gpa through high school despite skipping most of my homework. When possible I did copy from other kids and sometimes did some assignments in class before the homework was to be turned in. I’d literally sit there writing things down in the 10 minutes before we were to hand in our assignments. My algebra teacher noticed this and just shook her head but seemed to be totally fine with it - I think deep down inside she knew there was too much homework.
