Did anyone here hate doing homework growing up?

I am not sure about anyone else here but I always sort of have some trouble with homework assignments or more correctly the fact that I had to them. I'll admit that it wasn't that bad as I always did my assignments fairly well but sometimes I often feel like doing something else as sometimes homework can be boring. I wonder if anyone else had felt this way or currently feel this way?

Don't most kids hate homework

Yeah most kids do. It makes me wonder if there is any kid that does?

Homework = less time T.V./video games/internet/hanging out with friends/sports. Is there anyone who didn't hate it growing up?

Is water wet? You'd get a much shorter list of responses by asking if anybody liked homework.

This Space Intentionally Left Blank.

I honestly would be surprised if anyone didn't hate homework or busywork when growing up.

This video of youtube represent my feelings about my homework.

I mostly hated book reports, especially when the teachers were the type to find hidden symbolism in EVERYTHING whether the author intended it or not. Took a lot of fun out of reading when I felt like I had to find meaning where there really wasn't any.

Stupid doomed timeline...

I didn't mind homework that much..........when I was in college.

The way I see it, your childhood worked as a triangle where you could choose two of the sides.

1. Good grades (IE doing homework)

2. Getting enough sleep

3. Having friends.

I ended up having the first two, although not really by choice.

what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else

Nowadays, I have kind of a love-hate relationship with the homework I did. Back when I was actually in school, I hated it with every part of my body. I wholeheartedly believed it was a waste of time and should be outlawed. But I always got them done.

But then I went to university and I was given weeks and weeks to write up massive essays, and discovered that the sheer pressure just before the deadline actually worked wonders when it came to getting me motivated to actually do stuff. On reflection, I actually preferred doing homework, because it was usually small, manageable tasks that could be easily accomplished a few hours before it had to be handed in. A lot less stressful than doing the same with a massive, complicated essay, that's for sure.

"If you think like a child, you will do a child's work."

I will admit I agree with that. Part of the problem of those big assignments with long deadlines is that it makes it a lot easier to procrastinate too rather then just do homework.

What teacher did you have that both assigned book reports (which assumes elementary school) and talked about symbolism

Also Death of the Author is a thing. I mean, I feel like if you're on this site and not trying to overanalyze the media you consume to a degree beyond the author's intentions, you're missing part of the point of this site

That was middle school, actually.

Stupid doomed timeline...

Didn't everyone?

simple as

I was consistently frustrated with homework that didn't seem to matter at all, ie: when I would do well on the tests but have a portion of my grade based on arbitrary homework quotas. In retrospect I can understand the purpose, in that repetition drills things into people's heads a lot better than nearly anything else, and making it optional would certainly discourage people from actually doing it, but I just can't help but feel annoyed at all the time they explicitly took away from my life.

In college, especially when you get some teacher that decides to give only 4 tests over an entire course and then make the tests count for 80% of your grade, you learn to love any and all homework as if it were baby Jesus himself.

I guess homework was a good thing in hindsight.

Oddly enough I liked math homework.

This, I have gotten teachers like that already. It isn't fun

Here's the thing.

I love homework. I love homework so much.

Homework is love. Homework is life.

I was only nine years old.

I loved homework so much. I'd have all the assignments and textbooks.

I'd pray to homework every night. Thanking it for all the knowledge and wisdom.

My little brother hears this and calls me a nerd.

I knew he was just jealous of my devotion to homework.

I called him a cunt. He slaps me and sends me to bed.

I'm crying now, and my face hurts.

I lay in bed and it's really cold.

A warmth is moving towards me.

I feel something touch me.

It's homework.

I am so happy.

It whispers in my ear, "this is my notebook".

It grabs me with its powerful ring binder hands and puts me on all fours.

I'm ready.

I spread my butt for homework.

It penetrates my butthole.

It hurts so much, but I do it for homework.

I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water.

I push against its force.

I want to please homework.

It roars a might roar, as it fills my butt with its red ink.

My brother walks in.

Homework looks him straight in the eye and says, "it's all graded now".

Homework leaves through my window.

Homework is love.

Homework... Is life.

There was this one time when I didn't like somebody else's homework. My then-girlfriend's teachers assigned her three essays in one weekend. That was when I made what was probably the meanest joke I ever made.

I like to keep my audience riveted.

I never really minded homework in and of itself, but I hated long term projects. All that time and effort for just a grade and you're stuck with whatever you made with little plan to keep it.
