"If it's not broken don't fix it", is a quote that means if something doesn't need a certain action, don't bother doing anything to it. This is exactly like giving homework to students who are intellegent. Homework is a bad idea because it's not useful, it wastes time, and it can mess you up in other subjects.

First, homework is a useless thing to give to students because kids who do good in class and remember everything don't need it. The students that remember every lesson don't need it because, after all, homework is just a copied review of the lesson. So, if the students do their homework keep doing it than it's practically worthless because of the fact that it is exactly what they learned, understood, and memorized in their class that day. Also, it is not worth doing it if your doing well in class. It may count as a grade but it shouldn't because you are tested on the subject anyway which is 25 percent of you overall grade so you also don't need the grades from homework.

Furthermore, homework is a bad idea because it is a huge waste of time. Again, if students understand the concept of the lesson, then what is the point of giving homework to him or her. The student doesn't need homework but if he keeps doing it then it wastes valuable time that could be spent doing something else fun. For instance, you could be spending quality time with family, playing outside with cronies, or you could just be spending your own time doing a hobby, sport, or just simply reading or relaxing.

In addition, homework could mess you up in other subjects which is not a good thing. If you have hard time doing a homework assignment from another class and focus hard on that, then you end up messing up your original homework assignment. It can go the other way around to. You can focus too much on the original assignment and then end up messing up other subjects. So this means that homework can not just affect you; it can have an effect on all your other classes as well.

All in all, homework is a bad idea because it completely wastes time that could be spent. It can confuse leading to a problem in all the other subjects. Finally it is useless to kids who don't need it. This is why homework is just a totally unreasonable answer to help students understand a lesson.
