I'm sure that at one point or another we have all wanted to tell our teachers that homework was against our religion. Once I even joked about creating a religion in which this was the case, unfortunately I don't think that anyone would follow a religion where I was to be the supreme ruler. Anyways, I HAVE UNDISPUTED EVIDENCE THAT HOMEWORK GOES AGAINST BASIC CHRISTIAN BELIEFS**
Matthew 6:34 says "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own".
According to this passage I shouldn't worry about the next day. Let me ask, how many of us have worried about an upcoming test, or a paper that we've procrastinated on, or a teacher assigning 50 pages of reading in some obscure book like Thomas Kuhn's "Structure of Scientific Revolutions" due by tomorrow? In accordance with this, homework is a source for a lot of stress and worry, therefore it goes against my religion. If something like homework causes me to start sweating from pores that I didn't even know I had.
Another example of why school is against Christian belief is because of the separation of Church and state that is imposed upon the public school system. Mark 16:15 says "Go into all the world and preach the good word to all creation". Teachers are not allowed to preach the gospel to their students, which makes the public school system unbiblical. Because of this, I don't think that I should have been required to attend all those years. And besides, I think that we can all agree that middle school was a living Hell, and since Hell is separation from God, I think that we can all draw the conclusion that Middle School is the anti-christ.
Some could say that the private school system avoids this, and it does, but it still gives homework. So there fancy private christian schools.
**I'm sure that someone somewhere who is much smarter than me could easily turn my argument into swiss cheese, but those people should just shut up. I mean come on, do they really want homework?
Well, If anyone wants to use this argument on their teacher, then you will have to pay me a royalty fee of 10 dollars, or take me out for pizza. (I'd prefer the pizza).
Adios!

I was momentarily tempted to turn your argument into swiss cheese, but then I realized that was dreadfully counterproductive. So I shall just appreciate your writing and leave it at that. Thuh end.
