First off, I have to tell you that this question made me smile and remember being in school! I remember thinking the EXACT same thing. The point of the homework is to make you do the work yourself, as most people won't learn the material if they're just being lectured for 50 minutes. Some will, and school will be a breeze because all they have to do is hear a lecture once, and they remember all that material. But, for normal students, it takes repetition. So by assigning you homework on the material the teacher went over, you are getting some practice in outside of that 50 minutes of class. Besides, the homework is easy points - you get to look up the answers! Just enjoy school while you can... It gets much worse in college! That one page reflection paper about the short story you read turns into a 10 page essay on a novel that you had to read.
