When I was growing up, my parents told me, 'Finish your dinner. People in China and India are starving.' I tell my daughters, 'Finish your homework. People in India and China are starving for your job.' -- Thomas Friedman

The sad truth is that the civil rights movement cannot be reborn until we identify the causes of black suffering, some of them self-inflicted. Why can't black leaders organize rallies around responsible sexuality, birth within marriage, parents reading to their children and students staying in school and doing homework? -- Henry Louis Gates
The best schools tend to have the best teachers, not to mention parents who supervise homework, so there is less need for self-organised learning.

They need to be taught to think and study for themselves. -- Sugata Mitra
Technologically we can deliver the ability of parents to be able to log into a school intranet, be able to see what homework has been set or look at lesson planning, whether the child is attending, see what the timetable is like, all of that is possible and there are some schools that are doing it already. -- Jim Knight
My parents were very firm about me always getting my homework done. -- Chelsea Clinton
Listen to your parents, do your homework and listen to your teachers. Those are the real heroes. -- Carl Crawford
My parents always taught me that my day job would never make me rich; it'd be my homework. -- Daymond John
