World Domination and Teacher Domination.

How strange as how world leaders convince you to do things by good communication skills and good understanding of the human nature, and teachers convince you to do your homework by threatening, intimidating grades. Teachers give us homework to grasp a better understanding of the material they teach in class, but do kids understand? Most kids see homework as a bore. I am one of them also, but after some time thinking about it in my head I realized something. They don't hate us for giving us a lot of homework, they want us to grasp this knowledge so we can apply it to somewhere else in life.

For example, I have sentence diagramming with my English Teacher as an assignment due on Monday. I kind of groaned at first, but thinking it over again I realized that we will have a test on this soon and this is good practice so we don't fail miserably on the test. Oh look what an epiphany I had. We might as well do the homework now and be all fussy about it, then be horrified on the grade we get when the teacher passes back a test. Don't you think the teacher is worse when she doesn't explain anything to you? Homework is just a recap on what you learned that day, so use it to your advantage! One day you might be a teacher and you will see the value in giving your students homework so they can remember the material you just went over.

Anyway this is my talk about homework for now. Lets all be more enthusiastic about homework! Or at least try to be.
