That's a mighty big generalization about homework, partner. As G8 points out, there are not enough brain cells in a high school head to absorb chemistry and math (two of my teaching areas) in class alone. HW is to convert short-term memory into long-term by reinforcing.
No. It is the truth about the how and why of the excessive homework that is loaded onto kids.

Funny but my older niece never has homework aside from reading chapters and yet is on the Presidents Honor Roll. Somehow her teachers manage to actually teach in class.
