Oh, I don't doubt it, because that's usually the way of it with Homework Wars: it shouldn't take that long, but it does take that long.

The public schools are supposed to provide an equal education to all students. Homework subverts that by making success in school dependent on help at home. Consider: if all schoolwork was done during school hours, the grade curves of a lot of classes might look quite different.
