Nobody likes homework. It is tiring and tedious to many students. Homework is typically given in large or excessive amounts. After school, students have a very limited time to finish all of their work, since they have many other things to do besides homework.

Even if they do not have something of import to do, they can just go out or do something fun which serves as a break from all the schoolwork they are assigned. Parents would much rather have their students enjoying their time after school
