Bedeutung
The act of completing school assignments.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Homework is often seen as a family responsibility. Parents frequently sit with their children while they 'làm bài tập' to ensure focus. Similar to Vietnam, Japanese students have a high volume of homework, often completed at 'Juku' (cram schools). There is an ongoing debate in the US about the amount of homework, with some schools moving toward a 'no-homework' policy to reduce stress. Finland is famous for giving very little homework, yet having one of the best education systems in the world.
Shorten it
In casual talk, just say 'Làm bài'. Everyone will understand you mean homework.
Don't say 'Làm bài học'
This is a common mistake. 'Bài học' is the lesson itself, 'Bài tập' is the exercise.
