Parents Fight Legal Battle For Less Homework

Sherri and Tom Milley may be the coolest parents in the world, at least in the eyes of their children. The Milley's were tired of having to help their children with hours of homework each night so they negotiated the "Milleys' Differentiated Homework Plan" with the school. The plan, which ensures their youngest two children will never have to do homework again, was signed by the children, parents and teachers. "It was a constant homework battle every night," Sherri told Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper. "It's hard to get a weeping child to take in math problems. They are tired. They shouldn't be working a second shift."

Re:homework's real purpose?

Pretty much everything I learned in college I learned from homework. I'm with you on high school homework, it's just looking up something from a book or brute forcing through some algebra or basic calculus.
