20-some pages long

The length of my algebra homework assignment due tomorrow night. All handwritten and most pages are front to back. I understand the need for homework, I'm a teacher ... I get it. I do not understand making adults answer question after question that all basically have the same answer. Sure, anyone who hasn't graduated from high school needs the repetition, but post-grad students? What I really wonder is, who's going to grade all this stuff? (from 28 students) Teacher code states: all busy work should be filed in the circular file. Mine better come back with a grade on it sometime before the temperature changes.

While I'm at it, I thought the purpose of going to school was for someone to teach you something. I question this practice of paying for an education and teaching myself. If the only thing I'm doing is paying for my diploma, can I please move to a quicker check-out line?
