The Trouble With Homework

I began a new subject tempoarily because I was absent from Wednesday's class. But this blog is about homework, and how it can be a real pain.
The reason a lot of my friends refuse to go to college is because they don't want to have to worry about homework anymore. It is a real stress that is constantly floating over your head. Now I know that doing homework gives proof that you can work and accept resposibilty. The reason for education isn't just to learn, but to give proof to your future career bosses that you know how to learn, and how to work and do it on time. However, I think we can easily show our work ethic IN school.
The great thing about a real job is that you go, you work, you leave, and you are done. It is rare that people take work home unless they are behind, or working on something big for the time being. Usually your work is done at work, then you are free to handle the rest of your life afterward.
However, you still have to get up and go to school for several hours, then go home and spend several more hours on homework. Plus work, plus extra activities, family time, and social time... It can be really hard to balance all of that. I'm not trying to complain, but I just really hate having to get up and go to school, and then have to go home and do several hours more of it. It's exhausting.
I think that school would be a lot more welcoming, and less stressful if we did all work in class. We could make classes slightly longer, and all excersises will be done with the teacher. There might be homework if you fall behind, but if you stay caught up then you don't have to worry about doing extra work at home.

Tell me if anyone agrees, or thinks it's an idea that will never happen.
