not all classes teach the same material at the same pace.
Practice homework, (the most common type) is assigned to reinforce material presented by the teacher and to help student’s master individual skills. In a study of teachers' use of homework in high schools, found that teachers most frequently assigned homework to reinforce class material (55 percent) and to master course objectives (23 percent). In classes typically the teacher quickly reviewing goes like this:

Remember everything.
Jerel, give an example of the commutative property, Please.
Jerel: 9 x 5 = 5 x 9.
Teacher: Excellent. Wanda, how about an example of the distributive property?
Wanda: 4(2 + 3) = (4 x 2) + (4 x 3) = 20.
Teacher: Great! Okay, you all seem to have this so everyone get busy with Problems 1-30 on page 65.
See things like this are what enforces the need of homework because if not all the students are to answer the questions in class and they don’t all answer how do they supposed fully understand the concept and don’t ask they’ll never really know.

In conclusion students need homework to fully grasp things yes sometimes it is a drag and you may not want to do it but the teachers don’t like grading it either remember it’s for your
benefit.
