Homework was a reinforcement exercise meant to turn the short term memory of what you learned that day into long term memory which could be remembered for years to come.
I never did my homework and was able to retain almost everything I was taught in class. The main issue with that is basically everything taught to my classmates and I outside of English and math turned out to be wrong as science and history and such learned more over time. Like how none of my favorite dinosaurs were even real; they just made shit up with different bones.
Our understanding of science constantly changes as we learn new things. Do you think we shouldn’t teach kids science because we might learn something new that shows what we used to know was wrong?
Understandable. My feelings with homework is that it is an exercise. In college/university it was optional for us. Didn’t effect your grade, it was recommended review essentially. Aka if you aren’t sure you know what you need to know, so look at this if you wanr. If you’d struggle, study. If you don’t. Ignore it.
Unfortunately telling 8 year olds some people don’t need to do homework, doesn’t roll over as smoothly.
“You can’t spell read Jimmy, you keep writing reed; which makes you sound dumber than you are” doesn’t work well as a response

No. What? The fuck?
Did only one person understand what I said? The other replies and downvotes suggest not.
Cool story. Literally none of it worth listening in a meaningful way, but you have seeming not retained how science, stats, and studies work.
