10 things I hate about HOMEWORK
1) You spend hours doing it, you hand it in on time, and then the teacher's hardly ever mark it! They might give you a minute tick in red pen on every other page, but that's it!
2) Kind of the opposite to my last point, but there are teachers who are really into marking and they scribble all over your work in red pen until they've basically rewritten the whole thing for you, and then, when it comes to revising for exams, you can't decipher any of it!
3) Some teacher's have AWFUL handwriting and you can't read any of their comments, so you don't know whether they think it's amazing and they've given you a merit/house point/whatever you call it in the USA/Australia/Norway/China/New Zealand/wherever you happen to go to school; or whether they think it's awful and you've got to go to referral next Thursday lunchtime.
4) SOME of my teachers (mentioning no names, if you're on here, you know who you are!) complain for ages and ages about how much marking they have to do, putting on the whole 'this hurts me more than it hurts you' act, and then they turn out to be the ones who give you the most homework of all! And they wonder why they've got so much marking?
5) A lot of my teachers say, "Oh, I know you're not supposed to have History homework tonight, but I really want you to write this 10 page essay for me, due in tomorrow. It'll only take you 5 minutes!" and then it takes you roughly two hours to complete!
6) It eats up all of your supposedly 'free time' at home, when you are supposed to be relaxing and preparing yourself for another taxing school day.
7) It limits down your veritaserum time!
8) It gives your parents something more to nag you about.
9) You spend ages doing it and then some horrible girl in your class says that you owe her a favour and then steals it and copies it WORD FOR WORD simply because she forgot to do hers!
10) Students hate doing it, Parents hate having to put up with the whining their kids do when they're doing it, Teachers hate marking it, BUT WE STILL GET IT!!!!!
As you can probably see, I don't like homework!
