Homework is a pest but as some have said, it helps you. Yes if you ever go on Jeopardy, but mostly for working and so that you have those skills, especially when you are a parent and your child needs some help. My school has somewhat of a no homework policy, as you read this, you might think, "What! You're so lucky:/" But in reality, i'm not. I don't get much, if any, help from my parents, and I don't get that essential work effort. If I ever have homework, its like a page or less. Overall, I dislike the homework I do get.
