I used to do my hw on the subway when I was in high school also. For some reason, I found more peace and focus in the noisy crowd than I could in a quiet library. Now I teach high school and I often see my students studying or doing hw on the ride in. It always makes me smile. Hey, at least they are doing the work themselves and not copying it off someone else when they get to school!

As a long time commuter since back in the day, when you had to flash your Subway Pass to the guard and be on your way home to 7pm, the best time in the world to do homework is on the subway. An hour and half ride home is meant for homework, so you can play SNES and Playstation games when you get back and Moms can't complain.

As much as I dislike the daily grind, thank GOD I don't have to do the back-to-school thing ever again. It was always so awful and stressful.

I have to say, I have a fond place in my heart for the kid who try to do their homework on the train. I had enough problems with Algebra, and to put the roar of a train in the mix? Please.

Braaaaghhh... Those little shits… Clogging up my commute... They might as well stay home since it doesn’t look like they're leaning anything anyway.
