Yeah, as a kid, I was really not a fan of homework. Younger years, I may have done them religiously but as I got older - copying was the best skill I developed to counter homework. It really boils down to what kind of homework we are dealing with. What I had in mind is something that could get our kids to go out of the house and discover something new. Rather than have them stuck in a gadget for a very long time. Something a parent could accompany them outside and grab the opportunity to play catch or tag. But that's just me :)
