yes now its fair enough the teacher must give you some questions to practise outside of the lesson but this is the problem.......
"In later life you wont get a second chance on doing work at home..." now thats what a teacher once said to me and i found 2 main problems with this.
1. the teacher on this stupid quote is mentioning later life not realising that she must not have a clue about later life because she went through school, through college, even university and after all of that became a teacher. in short how could she ever know what later life is like, she never left the education system.
2. another problem is that in later life she is presuming that i will be at work. yes thats true but at what job do you get set homework? thats right teaching....
3. and the last problem is that by saying "...you wont get a second chance..." is assuming that i want the second chance to do the homework. Which if that was the case i would of done my homework in the first place and she wouldn't of needed to say it.
all of which leads me to beleive that when teachers set homework its because they know no different. they dont realise that we dont learn by homework. IF we do it its half arssed with a big help from wikipedia and after all i when on to get a B in that subject without a single minute of homework or revision. shame on you teacher!!!
