Well, as I high school student at one of the toughest public schools in the city (Western) I can hardly read this and NOT love this man, who can say no to less homework?
But, I think he's got some things mixed up, you definitely need homework to be successful in things like math and science. Like, today for example I had a test in math, and there was a question that I was able to do the day before, and felt I understood it and didn't do the my homework. Today I just started at, drawing a blank. I knew if I had just done a few practice problems yesterday I would have gotten straight away.
Also last year, I didn't study for my math final at all. I didn't review one note, and man did that come back to bite me in the ass. I got a 48% on the test and dropped from a 86 in the class to 68.
