That trains you to work outside your agreed working hours and to make you feel bad if you don't do it. Essentially this is how you train slaves.

- mac01021 10y agoI've only ever had two kinds of jobs. In the first I was paid hourly and only ever worked the shift agreed upon. In the second I was paid a salary and there was never any agreement about what my normal working hours would be.
- Jtsummers 10y agoOr you learn to work efficiently and finish your homework in the minutes between classes, the bus rides to and from school, and perhaps 1-2 hours immediately after getting home. Unless things have changed substantially (and they may have), that was all the time I needed for everything but research papers and projects requiring more thought. Self-discipline and time management can solve most of these problems. My parents forbade video games and TV until my homework was done, and I was honest as a kid (most of the time). So I got my shit done so I could do what I wanted to do (watch Batman and Animaniacs, run through the woods like a mad man). Homework doesn't train you to be anything other than what you (really, your parents at that age) allow it to.
- kaitai 10y agoI don't think slavery was about making people feel bad if they didn't work outside your "agreed working hours", unless you mean whipping or beating them until they feel really bad. A more nuanced discussion of what you seem to be trying to get at can be found at http://disciplinedminds.tripod.com/ http://disciplinedminds.tripod.com/. But please don't use the slave analogy unless we're really extracting economic goods out of a working group by force.
