For most of us students, homework is that nagging itch in the back of your head after you return from school. It hangs over your head and becomes increasingly worse until finally you just want to tear your skin off. When you finally do give in to the itch, it takes HOURS to make it go away, and by the time it's gone it has effectively ruined all your joy for the evening.
The whole concept annoys me. You get up between six and seven in the morning, drag yourself out the door and reluctantly board your transportation to school. Then, you sit through seven hours of education, and as enlightening and fulfilling as it is, it's boring. Then you board your transportation home, throw open the door, and plop down on the couch. It would be fine if that was the end of it, but your teachers have bagged up some school for you to bring home.
After completing the minimal two hours of extra work, you have spent at least nine hours on homework. That's over one third of your day, and an hour more than your average nine-to-five job. I thought we were supposed to be adults-in-training; why would we spend more time working than they do? It just doesn't make much sense.
