How to pronounce homework?

How to say homework in sign language, words popularity by usage frequency, how to use homework in a sentence.

Anthony Carnevale :

Everybody likes education as a way to allocate opportunity, because as Americans we all sort of agree education attaches to individual responsibility : You've got to take the test, go to the school, do the homework and so on, but in practice it has become another form of institutional race and class stratification.

Roy Gladden :

Though our Mars missions won't be as active these next few weeks, they'll still let us know their state of health, each mission has been given some homework to do until they hear from us again.

James Steyer :

Teenagers think that multitasking during homework doesn't affect their ability to learn and ... we know it does, it's completely obvious that you can't multitask and be as effective and competent.

Stephanie Donaldson-Pressman :

It is absolutely shocking to me to find out that particularly kindergarten students (who) are not supposed to have any homework at all ... are getting as much homework as a third-grader is supposed to get, anybody who's tried to keep a 5-year-old at a table doing homework for 25 minutes after school knows what that's like. I mean children don't want to be doing, they want to be out playing, they want to be interacting and that's what they should be doing. That's what's really important.

Seagal Hagege :

Beforehand, they didn't have a chance to just be present at home. Every day after school we were running to music, running to gymnastics, and then we would get home, do homework and go to bed, now we have a chance to get stupid and take a break together. They've really stepped up, and they are shining.
