MK Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm pretty sure you've all seen examples of stupid and useless homework which wastes your time. Well, I've got one of those. It's due tomorrow morning. Chemistry. Not regular chemistry homework, but chemistry (experiments) homework. I'm supposed to copy snippets of text and a bunch of pictures from the book. Why? Well, nobody knows, but it "doesn't matter", we all should just do what we're told to. :dozey: I'm aware that I've had plenty of time to do this, but I'm kinda a last-minute person. I should go to sleep in around 1 and a half hours. My guess is that I won't be able to do the homework in suck a short time. I could start, of course, but I don't see the point in that, really. The teacher said she'll check our notebooks to see if we've done our homework. I don't know if I'll get a bad grade for not doing it. Even if I do get a bad grade, I'm pretty sure I won't care much about it. So, what do you say, should I continue procrastinating, and if she asks me why I didn't do it, say something like "Why would I do it?", or is that, in your opinion, too rebellious? You can post your own examples and stories in this thread. :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would start it, and finish in the morning if you can... I can barely see where I'm walking in the morning, let away homework. :P Too sleeeeepyyyyy.

Dfit00 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Busy work sucks big time, just study for the tests and you'll be cool; the tests are what counts anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verussia Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 If you do it you will be later satisfied with yourself and good mood is guaranteed;) Though, I don't know the "rules" in your school, and maybe going to sleep for some rest wil be more worthwhile... As for me, I usually feel depressed when I don't do what I have to:\ And I hate loads of homework too!!!Just sometimes you should surpass yourself:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleBlur Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Our school was in the news Paper because parents had to talk to the principal about their being to much homework! :uhoh: But eventually, we made a rule where you do 10min. multiplied by your grade level is how much homework you SHOULD have. And if it takes you any longer, you write a note to your teacher. :smug: Wow, I :heart: my school! :glasses: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 I wouldnt do that just on principle. I hate that teachers give us too much homework than we are able to do. I agree, but in my case, I was able to do it, I just went with the thought that the Internet, listening to music and math problems are far more interesting. :p But now when I'm in a situation like this, I don't regret not doing it earlier, I'm just wondering whether to start or not. Busy work sucks big time, just study for the tests and you'll be cool; the tests are what counts anyway. Busy POINTLESS work sucks big time. Yeah, I'm sure tests won't be a problem. Even if I do get a bad grade or something for not doing homework all of my other grades will fix it.

As for me, I usually feel depressed when I don't do what I have to:\ And I hate loads of homework too!!!Just sometimes you should surpass yourself:) The thing is, I've picked to enjoy my time rather than doing homework, and now it's too late to fix that. I feel great when I accomplish something, and bad for not doing it, only if I think it matters. This type of homework... not really.

flickahidalgo Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I have a professor, who abosolutely teaches nothing. Then she gives us like 40 questions of homework. But, thats not it, you have to write all of the questions and the answers. All the answers are about 2 paragraphs each, if you do it correctly. Then you turn it in and she doesn't even grade it. I think so far this year, I have had nearly 80 assignments. I haven't got one of them back yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Good news! I didn't do it and the teacher didn't check! Now I have 2 more weeks to finish it, so I'll do it if I ever feel bored.

Mig-El Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 hahahah well I say you ough to do it as soon as posible you were really lucky so don't abuse and play it safe you got plenty of time so don't leave it for boredom time. I knoow what it's like but you better give a good impresion to your teachers so that when you need it they can be cool with you. Besides, stupid works may have a purpose if you see the positive side. This helps be more responsable and learn how to work out your tasks cause when you go out there and get a job you might have twice the work you have now and you're not used to doing your homework. I had a teacher in high school, literature teacher, that had us read a story from the book, any tale or bit from a novel and then she said "mark unknown words and look them up in the dictionary, and write them down with their meaning" and you know sometimes there were several strange words for me but she said a couple times "I want 300 minimum" and I was like I KNOW HOW TO SPEAK! and I ended up having like 180 and she always gave me all the points cause she knew I was a good student.
