I wish my teachers had that attitude. I got sent home with hours of homework almost every day. I particularly remember my raging bitch of an 8th grade math teacher who would assign 100s of problems a night and give you zero points if you didn't do all of them. My mom even backed me up on arguing about that shit. If I couldn't get it done during my study period and lunch hour I didn't do it. I had better things to do with my time after school.
