Well I stopped doing my basic homework at around the fifth grade. Unless it was a big project or a paper I did it at school. It was bad, had some close calls. However before that I always did my homework, I don't remember getting into arguments with my parents, I'd do the work myself, they'd check it, as I got older they stopped checking, but I was still bringing home A's so they didn't really care. So I don't really know what to think of homework. I think the reasons given are bogus though.
