      I think practising something is a good way to improve, and trying something outside of a classroom is a great thing, too. But then again, different people learn in different ways, and so sometimes homework is not the best solution. I think we should spend more money on education in order to find the best ways to help you guys – because everyone hates homework sometimes.

      They can be tedious and tiring and I had my fair share of eye-rolls about them throughout high-school. However, it’s impossible to deny that getting knowledge to stick on the long-term requires hard work, and repetition and a certain degree of elaboration…hence homework.
      I didn’t appreciate the concept enough up until the point when there was no one to give me homework anymore, and I just had to give them to myself. I am totally sure that I am not the only one!
