Enough rights are already revoked from me the minute I enter the school gate. I can't speak freely, I can't wear whatever I want, I can't leave when I want, I can't go where I want... at the very least, I think, I should be able to wear my own clothes that I feel comfortable in. There is nothing about my jeans and t-shirt that takes away from my learning, or anyone else's. Nobody's outfit has ever taken away from my learning.

My homework ensures that I'm continuing to learn after I come home from school. It gives kids a chance to review independently, which is also teaching kids to be responsible for themselves. My only complaint with homework is it shouldn't be excessively too much. Yeah, kids need education, but we also need leisure time.
