Contexte culturel
The 'Jashn-e Taklif' is a ceremony for young girls (at 9) and boys (at 15) marking their entry into religious responsibility. While different from school homework, it uses the same word 'Taklif'. In Dari Persian, 'Sabaq khandan' is often used alongside 'Taklif' to refer to studying and doing schoolwork. Traditionally, 'Mashq-e Shab' (night writing) was a heavy burden. Modern Iranian parents are very involved in their children's 'taklif', often sitting with them for hours.
Use the plural
Use 'Takalif' (plural) if you have homework for many different subjects.
Don't say 'Do lesson'
Never say 'Dars anjam midam'. It's always 'Dars mikhanam'.
