homework doesn't "prepare you for a job" it doesn't make you smarter, it just piles on like 20 assignments and teaches you that to be successful you have to be working ALL THE TIME without stopping. when I was a kid I cried because I couldn't do homework. I was made to feel like it was my fault for being lazy. in actual fact, I was being pushed too hard.
in a job, if you have 20 assignments all due the next week, something FUCKED UP big time in the production process and you should form a union immediately. if it happens in school, that's supposed to be "normal"
