Why do the homework if the teacher already told you how it was done? 
Fond memories of my ninth grade Algebra class, where I would endure my classmates' unceasing inability to understand basic (albeit totally useless) mathematics that the teacher just presented them with on the whiteboard... whilst I listened to music and filled in the answers on the homework he gave us. I used this homework as a learning process, where if I got a problem wrong I asked him the reason it was wrong, and actually gained from the process. I remember some of the students who would receive their corrected work back and throw it in the trash on the way out without so much as a glance at their score XD Hilarious really, since most of the class was failing
I remember that I did my homework in that class, one of two classes where I did any homework at all. Always did it in the class, and enjoyed it sometimes. If I didn't feel like it, I didn't do it. Just like all of the other classes I took ^_^
Luckily for me, I did well enough on tests to pass in most subjects, most semesters
And college was not as I expected, but nearly just as pointless as highschool. Only thing I learned from communication class was that I can't bring myself to lower the level of the language I learned in highschool honor's english. I liked both of my teachers in that class
Had the hots a bit for both of them. They were fun ^_^
Oh, and school sucked for me. Hated it since about the first or second week of kindergarten, according to my mother.
And I'm pretty stupid. So just throwing it out there from one of the younger generations

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
