Homework is also a kind of babysitter that keeps the kids occupied while both parents are still working.
You just resurrected a 3 year old thread under a new screen name at that.
Yikes, almost 3 years ago thread! I started looking back through my posts until I realized it was from 2015. Time warp! Anyway, in response, one of the reasons I enjoyed doing my homework at the public library was because of finding so many other topics to browse. But I always got the homework out of the way first. Surfing the card catalog and aisles was fun. That's how I learned some great math skills, like reading about the Trachtenberg method of calculating in my head without using paper and pencil, besides history and chemistry etc. Schools do a poor job of teaching kids; kids need to concentrate on self-teaching and the public library is the perfect place for that. Unfortunately for millennials today they would rather surf the Internet for cat videos instead of brain food.
