How old were you when you finally realized that teachers don't like homework or eat it or really want it, but rather just want you to do it so you might learn something and that we don't really want to grade it but do that since otherwise you might not do it?

@futurebird Homework is beneficial but too much is assigned, especially to younger students, and the trend has been to assign more and more. I understand that a number of European countries have cut back on it considerably and the kids still do well.

@futurebird I went to public school during the golden age of US educational experimentation - mid-60’s to early 70’s. New math and learning pods etc. Our teachers didn’t believe in homework either. We rarely had any. It was glorious.

@futurebird I thought this was the case until about age 15.I thought that they hated correcting homework, but loved us more and were putting in the work only so we could improve.At 15, I thought that was only true of most teachers & still do. My biology teacher had students, mostly girls, at his house to get drunk.Mt social studies teacher wouldn’t give lessons or homework, & just talked about how he was 2 years from retirement.My chemistry teacher other issues.…but most.

@futurebird Way too late. Because no teacher ever actually *told* us. Just be upfront about it, please.

@futurebird The way I would ace every test, show understanding of the lesson and still fail the class or just barely pass with a D makes me believe they were eating it. And not just the paper, there had to be some special property of home hours spent and student suffering for the meal to have any sustenance.I get some kids seemingly needing homework as well as teachers not being able to personalize the curriculum much, but the way homework hindered my education and wasted my time makes me think there must be a better way.

@futurebird Pretty early on as two of my grandparents were teachers. Also my grandmother use to take me to help her organize the school library on the weekends.

@futurebird In my secondary school, it was called “preparation” rather than “homework” and the emphasis was that it would consolidate that days’ learning and prepare you for the next sessions of learning.This was from 1967-1975 and I think the terminology and emphasis were helpful 🤔
