The Ancient Romans.
They were an intelligent civilization, but homework was one of their follies.
Roman children had to do it. They wrote on wax tablets at school, and wiped the writing off with their hands (by smearing the wax over it). Though many of them had tutors, all Roman children went on tours of the cities to see what day-to-day life was like for other people, and they had to compose music and exercise.

In the first season episode of The Brak Show on Adult Swim, Brak and Zorak don't get to go to eat at Fish Pockets with the rest of family because they didn't do their homework. Their solution? Use Thundercleese's time machine to go back in time as The Presidents Of The Future to stop Merlin and Marlon from inventing homework.
So the answer to your question? Merlin... or he was about to before Zorak told him he couldn't invent that.

TEACHERS
They do not have enough time to teach you all you need to know in the classroom. With so many students in these classes you do not get qualtiy time for learning. Therefore, they realized students can learn more on their own time in a quiet place at home. Away from the distractions of other students and short class time.
Homework is supposed to reinforce what you have learned in the classroom earlier in the day. Between the two you should be on your way to good grades.

the ancient /Romans didn't invent homework. the ancient Mesopotamians did. Mesopotamia is in present-day Iraq and means "land between 2 rivers". THe ancient Mesopotamians invented school (it's all their fault!) so they invented homework!

An idiot who deserves to be cloned and killed, have all his clones killed, be brought back to life to clean up the mess, and then die.
I hate homework. Is it that obvious? :)
