You'd be surprised (maybe not) at the number of kids who get to college and have NO clue how to do homework or take tests.
I think that's changing though.
There are many who just do not do the homework, who copy homework from friends when it is going to be graded, etc.
And to try to stop this, the schools add more homework.
I remember the hell of high school.....5 hours of homework a night with no block scheduling....because unlike the other kids, I actually DID IT.
But boy, college is a breeze now that I have the same amount, but more time to do it since classes meet every other day.
