Homework used to be a good thing, used too. When homework started  out, just 30-60 minutes a day to practice what you have learned at school that day.
Those times are long gone.
Now homework takes 120-240 minutes every day, mostly practicing things that I don’t want on need to know. Yes, knowing the composition of a cell is useful knowledge for a microbiologist to have, but maybe I don’t want to be a microbiologist. Nowadays homework takes up the little time that we aren’t at school and replaces it with endless hours of writing until we can’t bend our fingers.

Well now that you know my side of that argument what’s yours?
