Control and benefit
Teacher would control if the homework was done in time during class. Nog once failed to complete an essay about ethics for a class taught by Keiko O'Brien, but he escaped serious punishment by taking advantage of the substitute teacher, her husband Miles. He also asked to be excused from a gathering of Ferengi to do his homework, which was not appreciated by the adult Ferengis who did not agree with Federation way of instruction. (DS9: "The Nagus")
Parents would look after their children's homework, making sure they did it even though students were often unwilling to complete their homework.
Benjamin Sisko asked his son about his homework, when he tried to leave home to meet his friend Nog. It turned out Jake had not listened to the Klingon opera as requested of him. His father asked him then to do so, not only because of the test in school but also to appreciate Klingon culture, a skill that might be useful later in life. Yet, Benjamin Sisko had to admit he never heard such music since he was his son's age. Eventually he suggested that Jake invite Nog over to do their homework together, as they were in the same class. (DS9: "The Alternate")
The holographic child of The Doctor was considered a model son because he always did his homework and got good grades.(VOY: "Real Life")
