Question

Who invented homework?

Answer 1

Homework was invented in 1095 by Roberto Nevilis. He felt that the hours he spent teaching didn’t make enough impact in the knowledge of kids. So to punish them for not learning enough, he invented homework, which to him felt better than a physical punishment.

I wish I was born before 1095

Nah. In 1905 you would have to do backbreaking work all day, and live to the "old" age of 40. (source: random fun facts - kidzsearch)

though that might not be a "fun" fact, lol.

can you explain that more?  I am trying to make an essay about this and I don't have much proof.

Answer 2

Homework was originally created during one of the World Wars because both sides wanted their next generation to be smarter than the others. Smarter children=Smarter future=Better war technology. Hope this was clear enough.
