If it takes 5 min for them to do it, they expect it'll take you 5 min as well. If it takes you 2 hours, that's your problem, not theirs No, they know that it would take you much longer than them to something like that. Their job is to make sure that you become used to the subject so that it becomes easier for you. If it takes two hours or something, they encourage you to do it faster. They just want it done, it doesn't matter how long it takes, so long as it get it done in time. you can tell that to the professors who expect you to do it half the time it takes THEM to do it later on then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry OldMaster Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 The thing that bothers me the most is that homework, quite clearly, is made at home, during the time you are not actually held at a specific place due to some silly laws. The point in school is to learn stuff and obviously use it. I don't know who decided that this second part should be done at home, because it obviously does not have to. A small increase in school time and eliminating repetitive and unuseful tasks (and no matter how much you'd like to complain, I see no point in making the same kind of smelly essay for 7 years long, in addition to twenty equations involving a to the 0th power), would mean no work should be made at home. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyPooBoy Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I am homeschooled, so I could care less. But from a perspective of a regular kid, I think... yes. Like the kid said, home is for home stuff. I go over to my friend's house and she is doing homework. I'm sick of it. So yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yes' date=' but not completley.[/quote'] you can only abolish it or don't abolish it at all. You can't PARTIALLY abolish it, that's just reducing its amount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Reducing it doesn't mean making it go away completely like abolishing it does (that's why you can't partially abolish it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larxene Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I laugh at how stupid the statements in this thread are. Yes, Dark's statement was retarded, but so was yours. Just add whatever Riku said to the end of my post, cause I'm too lazy to read what he said, but I'm sure he's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 of course the world isn't black and white, but this is still on the abolished term (I suggest you name something that can only be partially abolished) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larxene Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Anything can be partially abolished. It's the same as partially destroying something. It just means that it wasn't completely gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 that's more along the lines of reduced in terms of homework (if you have a professor who gives you lots but later on cuts it down to virtually none) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larxene Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 REDUCED AMOUNTS OF HOMEWORK IS STILL PARTIALLY ABOLISHED. I'm assuming you won't read what I'm saying unless I use caps lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larxene Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Of course they're different things. Adding the word partially makes them mean pretty much the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larxene Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 They both can mean any amount. Seriously, GTFO. "Partially abolished" and "reduced" mean the same thing. END OF DISCUSSION. Mention it again, and I neg and report you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a student in a class and have the professor say "I'll partially abolish homework" and "I'll reduce homework" in two cases. You may react by saying the two sayings mean the exact same thing, you really think EVERYONE will believe they mean the exact same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
