/ˌhoʊmˈwʌrk/.

Other forms: homeworks

Any assignment you're expected to complete after school and bring back to class the next day is called homework . Many students make up excuses for not having their homework done. The "My dog ate my homework " excuse doesn't work so well in the digital age.

High school students typically have a lot of homework most days, and often that's true for younger students as well. In college, an increasing amount of school work is done outside of class, as homework (even if you do it in the library, a cafe, or a dorm). Homework originally referred to any work done at home, including cooking and cleaning. The first example of the "school work" meaning dates from the late 1880s.

How to use homework in a sentence?

Jessica Lahey :

We want to feel needed and so when we take that homework assignment to school for them and rescue them, we feel we get to check that box off today. 'I was a good parent,'.

Dag Skattum :

Investors tend to be more supportive of well thought out transformational deals, and expect management teams and boards to have done their homework before coming to market with large-scale acquisitions.

Michele Yulo :

Marketers basically decide what is 'girl' and what is 'boy,' which ultimately leads to two very distinct ways to profit as well as a blind acceptance from the consumer who, often, doesn't realize it's happening, girls are inundated from a very young age with inappropriate messaging by way of products like 'skinny' jeans for toddlers, or T-shirts that say, 'I'm too pretty to do homework, so my brother does it for me,' and sexy Halloween costumes. Kids begin to codify other kids by placing them in strict categories that they've been taught -- not born with. Inevitably, kids begin to believe that girls need to be sexy, and boys believe it, too.

Kim Jae-hyun :

North Korea's air quality is our homework to do, and we have to think about North Korean people's health as well.

Managing Director at AlixPartners :

If you build heavier cars and have a large market share of diesels you have some homework to do if you want to mitigate possible penalties, customers are switching to petrol and this needs to be compensated with electrification and or hybridization.
