I detested homework at school, mostly because it involved writing selective passages from textbooks as answers. I was among the smartest kids in school, and yet almost never did my homework in time. Best experiences were those I had in college when I was tasked to be creative and present on topics. This involved a lot of research, something which I enjoy. My worst experience was when my school teacher shamed me, and made me do my homework in school while sitting on the floor. I was crying the whole time. As a side note, one very cool lifehack from one of my friends (while in school): He used to skip saturdays (which were half-days anyway). He'd instead stay at home and do stuff he loved to do (mostly circuits and reading). I really found that an excellent way to inculcate self-learning. He wasn't skipping essential stuff at school, and I found this really neat.
