No. It is actually harmful, it is like doing too much exercise. It is just one of the stupid things we inherited from our ancestors and people have been brainwashed into believing it so they repeat the mantras like the robots they have become. Most of what you learn at school is pointless.
You spend hours trying to memorize some date for history that you are never in your entire life going to need to know, or if you do, can easily look up; its as pointless as an air guitar competition. We have it because people just like those posting here cant think for themselves and just repeat what they have been brainwashed into believing, so the mindless cycle continues.
And of course as predictable as these robots are, they will give a knee jerk thumbs down to this; no brain no pain.

In some subjects, yes . . . Maths, Science and Languages have homework. You learn through doing it yourself, and you will be more prepared for the next chapter if you actually do some work. Subjects like Biology, Economics, Geography etc. don't always require homework, because it is a STUDY subject. Yes, some chapters require a bit of homework (like Map work in Geography), and some questions on a chapter can give you an indication of what is important in the chapter, so that you can easily learn all the important aspects of a chapter

Yes, for example: Had you paid more attention to grammar you would know that there is no apostrophe in students unless of course the students owned something, then it would be Student's, e.g. "The teacher took away the student's cell phone." If the teacher took away multiple cell phones then it would be students'.
Now for the why: No matter how much you HATE homework it is practice, and you will remember some of it.

Home work is
like blunting a sharp knife edge ,
spoiling some one's brain leagaly ,
training a slave to follow the orders of his masters .......
intelegent young students get spoiled by blind idiotic practices
like home work , 24 hrs/day 365 days a year,15 years for a
paper degree certificate.
IS THERE A INTELEGENT STUDENT WHO CAN REMEMBER ALL THOSE THINGS HE/SHE STUDIED FOR 15 YEARS ?
ALL WE REMEMBER IS GOOD AND BAD THINGS THAT HURT US .
THE BRAIN WHOULD HAVE LOST ALL INTELEGENT ROUTS
BY REPEATED TORTURE.
25% LIFE OF A SUPER CREATURE'S LIFE HAS BEEN WASTED.
HUMAN BEING BECAME A DEAD ANIMAL BUT A LIVING
R O B O T.
Education should be
1)to teach mothertongue (for mutual communication)
2)to teach a forign language(communicate with other parallel
societies of different language)
3)to learn to survive by using resorces
4)to learn to use the technology
etc.....etc....etc...

No, homework is not necessary.
"Parents and educators have been struggling with homework for over 100 years, as it has been touted and condemned as a way to improve student performance. Back in the 1890s, it was attacked as harmful to the physical and social needs of children. That same argument came up regularly over the next 60 years. Then came 1957 and Sputnik. The Soviet satellite launch made America wake up to the challenge of Soviet technology, and homework was seen as a way to make U.S. schoolchildren more competitive. But in the 1960s, Americans had other things on their minds-- court battles over school desegregation, protests over the Vietnam War..." http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/education/july-dec00/homework.htm
In fact, even going to school is destroying our children.
"Mass schooling of a compulsory nature really got its teeth into the United States between 1905 and 1915, though it was conceived of much earlier and pushed for throughout most of the nineteenth century. The reason given for this enormous upheaval of family life and cultural traditions was, roughly speaking, threefold:
1) To make good people. 2) To make good citizens. 3) To make each person his or her personal best. These goals are still trotted out today on a regular basis, and most of us accept them in one form or another as a decent definition of public education's mission, however short schools actually fall in achieving them. But we are dead wrong. Compounding our error is the fact that the national literature holds numerous and surprisingly consistent statements of compulsory schooling's true purpose. We have, for example, the great H. L. Mencken, who wrote in The American Mercury for April 1924 that the aim of public education is not
to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence. ... Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim ... is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States... and that is its aim everywhere else...." http://www.school-survival.net/articles/school/history/How_public_education_cripples_our_kids.php

Yes - because it helps reinforce things learned in the class and/or tops/issues students should be introduced to that there isn't enough time for the teacher to give to the students outside of the classroom.
Good Luck!!!

I think not. I don't bring my career work home with me. I do enough at the office. I think kids do enough in 8 hours that they need a break.
