I grew up in a house where nobody had to tell me to go to school every day and do my homework.

I felt sad because everyday I had to wake up early to practice before going to school. After school I had to go back to tennis again and then after tennis I had homework. I didn't have time to play.

Teens think listening to music helps them concentrate. It doesn't. It relieves them of the boredom that concentration on homework induces.

I'm a mom a full-time mom when I'm not taping. I do the carpool thing and bake the cookies and do the homework.

I'm a soccer mom. I'm T-ball soccer karate homework keeping them on their schedules. I love being the snack mom when I get to bring the cut oranges. I have one of those coolers with wheels. I'm at every game every practice sitting on my blanket. I love it.

I remember my mom didn't have any help so if she needed to be somewhere after school we'd just go down to the neighbors' and she'd give us a snack and make sure we did our homework. There weren't any latchkey kids.

The sad truth is that the civil rights movement cannot be reborn until we identify the causes of black suffering some of them self-inflicted. Why can't black leaders organize rallies around responsible sexuality birth within marriage parents reading to their children and students staying in school and doing homework?

Some of the best fan mail I get are from our men and women in the military and intelligence communities. They say 'Boy you do your homework this is exactly how we're doing it.'

I don't like this idea of Method. I come from that school but what I was taught was that it's your imagination. You do your homework and you use your imagination.

But you know there's something about the kids finishing their homework in a given day working one-on-one getting all this attention - they go home they're finished. They don't stall they don't do their homework in front of the TV.

In high school a teacher once suggested that I be a math major in college. I thought 'Me? You've got to be joking!' I mean in junior high I used to come home and cry because I was so afraid of my math homework. Seriously I was terrified of math.

I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.

I've spent the last 50 years or so steeping myself in the world's religions and I've done my homework. I've gone to each of the world's eight great religions and sought out the most profound scholars I could find and I've apprenticed myself to them and actually practiced each faith.

When I enrolled in college at age 19 I had a total of eight years of formal classroom education. As a result I was not comfortable with formal lectures and receiving regular homework assignments.

I was a total education geek. I loved school. I loved learning. I loved doing homework. All of my books and notebooks from high school are underlined and highlighted and there are notes all over the margins. And you know I was a theater kid too. I was all over the place.

Sex education may be a good idea in the schools but I don't believe the kids should be given homework.

I just finished my homework fast I was bored to death. There wasn't 500 channels so there was a thing for a librarian to teach a kid like me about reading. I started reading early and I read all the time because I love it.
