This Is Silly. Why Do We Have To Do Homework?

The classroom is the place where much of the learning activity begins.
However, real understanding and the ability to apply what has been
learned is achieved when, outside the classroom and some time later,
students review the work introduced in class, test their understanding,
extend their reasoning, and summarize their thoughts or apply the
new information and techniques to solve problems. This additional
work comes under the heading of homework. Thus, the purpose
of homework is two fold: It involves the completion of work assigned
in class and also the systematic revision and learning of work previously
covered to demonstrate mastery and the ability to apply the knowledge
to new situations.
