Really what TuEstUnePommeDeTerre did was help us with ours. "Do your homework" is the laziest phrase, I cannot express how much I hate it. Its a phrase of dismissal. If you have a kid that is struggling, you should HELP them with their homework, not just tell them to do it. I say this because I think it is emblematic of the intellectual laziness of the folks who use this phrase thinking of it as punctuation in their winning argument.

Using intellect is a chore, and lots of us choose to divert it towards video games instead of worrying what happened, regardless of whether it was an hour ago aftet clocking out, or 200y ago. Giving the decency of a full thought is definitely harder when it isn't being encouraged.
