not if u dont get the paper or question your parents are going to think the teacher is doing somthing wrong

your grades is all tht matters to get jobs that is proven if u dont believe me ask your parents

you cant be athletic when u r inside doing homework by your self

you can learn rom your parents and aunts and uncles and so fourth

no as the year progresses they stop learning by doing homework

well what if some one works slow they wont get any time with there family if they r overloaded with homework

every body likes to talk to there family at night about there day but if u have homework u dont get tht time.

u learn stuff at the beggining of the year but at the end of the year u just stop learning so whats the point.
