general

why does this person's opinion matter

because she decided to get her energetic kids drugged up with neurodivergence dignoses

As far as I know, homework is still mandatory in my county

in middle and high school, homework was only mandatory if the teachers bothered to check

needless to say, i barely ever did my homework

and what i did do, i just did during class

fuck doing shit at home

I had assignments I had to hand in always, but homework was seperate

homework was a list of questions you were told to do, and I never did them

math wise anyways

I don't think I had homeowork in any other subject

my teachers always checked homework...

Even in university I did not do practice problems beyond things that were actually assigned for grades, so I realize I just don't like the concept of homework

its good for people who need to learn that way, I don't

We'd have problem sets in math (out of the textbook) that were optional

But homework was 100% mandatory

Maybe occasionally it would be ungraded, but if you didn't do it they'd find a way to fuck you

Needless to say

I almost never did my homework

lol

Teachers would rarely grade homework but they always checked to see if you did it

I don't remember anything regarding elementary school homework

I can't recall elementary completely either, but I know I had massive amounts of homework from engineering classes in college

Elementary school is the only one I actually remember having homework for

they'd give out work sheets

We had this math program in highschool that would autograde our math homework

I had that in college, not high school

and to say your homework was complete you needed to get 70% correct

I took nearly all advanced courses in high school so I had plenty of homework

I guess my problem is I do not consider assignments to be the same thing as homework, homework kind of implies optional to me

or not graded at least

what

homework is any work you do not in class

I use the terms differently

idk

home...work... work at home

Yes

feels self explanatory

I understand what it is called and why it is called that

in any case, assignments then, still mandatory work

I just have never used the term homework when reffering to a graded thing I am assigned

I agree with Pika's naming

homework to me was busy work, while assignments are actual work

homework feels more like busy work

see, polu gets it

I don't get it, those are literal synonyms to me, but ok

I agree that language wise, they literally are

homework and assignments are synonyms I mean, not busy work

but the use case of how I use them is different
