I'm really in devils advocate mode, today.... Appologies.
Repetition is annoying, and I hate it. I never really did my homework either. In my old age, though i have tosay I feel that I missed out because I did not commit enough information -- pure boring data-- to memory when I had the time to.
There is a difference between reading and lectio, and I think the second has serious advantages. But you have to learn the mind-state where it happens, and that can only be done though repetition and experiencig that mind state.
Anyway, its that place where you look at the same thing over and over, and keep seeing something new in it, no mattr how simple it is, because you're realy looking deeply.
I'm sure math hopework was not the way for me to get there, for me it was poetry in dead languages, but disliking repetition is a handicap for some kinds of higher thinking.
Anyway, my 2 cents
