Here's some advice, get over it or look for alternatives. I am in high school and I very much dislike it as well. My teachers are alright this year but last year almost every one of them was pathetic. I am most likely going to go to Middle College next semester because of how much I dislike high school. (Middle College is a mix between community college and high school). So maybe talk to your parents about homeschooling, or look for other alternatives. EDIT: I was homeschooled all the way until high school; so that may have added to my dislike for public school.

I am taking some classes that are casically highschool level, and I too have ridiculous amounts of homework. But might I add all my math teacher does is write stuff down on the board and the go sit at her computer and do nothing else the rest of the period. So I don't get any of it, and thankfully for me my dad is a physics teacher and can help me. But alot of my friends aren't quite as lucky. So today I had to sit her down and MATURELY ask her to lay off the homework, as I was slipping behind in other classes and not getting adequate practice. And I'm pretty mature for my age, but getting at least 50 problems for math homework that she doesn't even explain to us.

And I will back you up anytime because I just love you that much *cough* i really don't i just want you to help me with programing stuff on my site for free *cough* just kidding.

And yes, but ummm alex at our highschool they don't let people write papers at home so they can't plagerize.

And both of my parents being highschool teachers, just wait till next year. I know one girl who got so stressed out that she got a stomache ulsor.

We all have days like that. The people here are saying that you get more homework in high school. This is true, but with age it seems like you are okay with more homework. For example, when I was 10 there was no way I was going to do homework for more than 10 minutes. In middle school is was about an hour. Now (10th grade) I can stand about 2 hours of homework. It's something that gradually increases, but it's something you learn to deal with. At least that's my experience.

There are always going to be annoying, difficult teachers. But in my opinion, these can be the best. They teach you more than you would get from most other teachers and they really improve you in whatever subject they teach. Last year, I didn't like my math teacher. One time, she took off all of the points possible for the problem even though I had the right answer. But that taught me how to do the steps properly. And this year, math is a breeze so far and I am really glad I had that class.

Things like this happen, don't let it get you down.

I used to hate my teachers, but not because of too many homeworks, more because he was so irritating.
I mean, homework is good for us, it's true. No homework means we will never practice something we learn at school.

Right now, after years I've finished my school, now I longed for that. My lecturers sometimes gave us assignments, but they were not the same as the ones we called homeworks at school. We couldn't practise any subjects we learned at class, however to complete the assignments means we must search for topics in internet and other sources (library is my source of resources). It's just like we are released completely on our own...

As a computer laboratory assistant now, I often give my trainees assignments so they could practise what we learn at laboratory, not like how the lecturers always give us. However, because I know many of my trainees are busy, I don't force them to do the assignment, only if they want to practise more for their own benefits.

So, don't be afraid for homeworks or hate your teacher, because you will be better after doing it.
