Homework shouldn't be banned. It IS useful. I've always taken honors math (I'm taking AP Calculus BC this year), and I almost always do my homework- even the stupid worksheets. I've had almost straight As in math, and when I don't, it's because I haven't done the homework. Same for English, science, and history.

I rarely spent more than an hour or two on homework before I got to high school. It didn't kill me. In 8th grade, I sometimes had 3 hours of homework in one night. I didn't die because I couldn't watch American Idol every week.
