The reason students only get four hours of sleep a night.

A form of torture given to students by teachers.

Something to keep children and teenagers from having fun or doing something that actually matters.

What I should be doing right now.
Homework fails at epic proportions.

1.) Literally, work that is done at home. Usually applies to schoolwork. Homework is unnecessary as it is given to students who have already spent the majority of the day at school.

2.) Something that gets crueler with every grade. While the first graders chug away on their addition worksheets, they are blissfully unaware that they will soon enough be doing laborous tasks such as AP World History homework, Geometry 2 homework, English Honors homework, and even Gym homework on a nightly basis.

3.) Assignments that are wickedly easy to procrastinate on whenever there is a preferable activity at hand, such as YouTube, Xbox, or being impaled by a molten iron spike.

4.) What you are probably supposed to be doing at this very moment, seeing as you looked up "homework" on urbandictionary. I would go so far as to say you have a very LARGE amount of it.
Whoever invented homework did NOT go to heaven.

Something that does not benefit either party involved, teacher or student; extra work that should be done in class but isn't for some stupid reason.

The teacher is just making more work for you and for himself/herself.

Why???
We may never know.
I would rather stay in school for 9 hours instead of 7, provided we don't have homework.

Among things I'd rather do:

Poop
Slap someone
Break a window
Fart
Blow my nose
Work in a coal mine (not really)
Sleep
Defacate on the homework
Wipe myself with the homework
Hit someone over the head with a frying pan
Try on all of the clothes in my closet
Go outside
Stay inside
Not fart
Shoot a BB gun
Play "Ding-Dong-Ditch"
Throw myself into a huge room full of packing peanuts
Parasail
Jump out of an airplane (Not happening!)
Belch
Play Videogames
Play online games
Play hopscotch
Play with myself (not what you're thinking, although...)
Drive a Lamborghini Murcielago
Drive a crappy-ass car
Drive a not-so-crappy-ass-but-still-somewhat-crappy-ass car
Crash a not-so-crappy-ass-but-still-somewhat-crappy-ass car
Eat Glass
Climb a tree
Fall from the tree
Try again and subsequently fail
Try many more times until I have not the stregnth nor the willpower to try again

And Much, Much More...

And since I have decided that I'm not going to do my homework, I can gurantee that I'll do at least 5 of these things tonight!!! ;)

Homework is what teachers give students when they feel that they haven't sufficiently tortured students enough during the allotted time period they have known as school. Once all the teachers have given you enough homework it can accumulate and force you to work long hours into the night. By the time you hit high school your schedule should look something like this:
6:30 AM - Wake up
7:30 AM - Go to school
3:15 PM- Get out of school
3:16 PM- Hang out with friends
5:00 PM - Start homework
4:00 AM - Finish homework

rinse, wash, repeat.
damnit, Mr. Smith gave me a book report to do on top of all my other homework...

did you even read the book?

phss... no.

have fun!

The shit you must do every school night, after already putting in 6 in a half hours of hard labour for some shit school. It is considered a punishment from teachers. It can range from a couple science questions to finishing a project, a book report, and 6 pages of math. Sometimes, people get so stressed out about homework that they develop social and mental problems, or, are afraid to go to school the next day. Too much homework can lead to incomplete, or meteocre assignments. Also, many people may stay up to as much as five in the morning getting their homework done. This is only in extreme cases, though. I myself get homework, and I absolutely hate it, but fortunately I don't get too much.

But of course, if you don't finish your homework, for whatever reason, you get screamed at, punished, and completely and utterly humiliated in front of your classmates.

After school is supposed to be the time where you can actually have some free time, and do things such as play video games, hang out with your friends, watch television, etc. But that isn't really possible these days, the amount of homework given to students has increased dramatically over the years.

I say: no homework.
Math teacher: Johnny, did you finish the 32 pages of math I assigned to the class yesterday? It was homework, and it's due today.

Johnny: No, I couldn't because-

Math teacher: SHUT UP, YOU FUCKING IDIOT. I'M SICK OF YOU AND YOUR SHIT EXCUSES. YOU WILL STAY IN EVERY RECESS UNTIL YOU HAVE THAT PAPER DONE, FUCKING FOOL. THAT'S 6 DETENTIONS MISTER.

Work assigned daily from teachers. You work hard all night getting the work from that day done, and get even more the next day. Gets progressivly worse as you get older.
In kindergarten our homework was to jumprope 50 times. We had that assignment twice, and no other homework. Now we have at least two or three essays a week along with a whole crapload of other assignments from the rest of our classes. And most of the teachers suck at teaching.
