Homework

Work that a teacher sends home from school. Usually, simply the leftover work from that days lesson. Often a large part of one's grade, many students believe that it is pointless. In reality, it's a good idea, just simply brought to extremes (the assignments are also way too long, even if they are easy). In some college classe, it is not even a part of one's grade, just some extra work a student can do if they don't understand the material. Many high schools could learn from this example, as the reason most students fail classes is because they don't do the homework. Though it is ultimately the student's fault (in most cases) that the work isn't done, the constant barrage of electronic entertainment available to kids nowadays certainly doesn't help.

Kid A: Hey, did you do the homework?
Kid B: Yeah, but it took me a while. It'd be nice if I could just do the homework on subjects I need help on, instead of this algebra that I already understand.
Kid A: I didn't do it. I was gonna, but I got stuck playing World of Warcraft. Oh well, my fault. Damn ADHD.
