homework vs housework

Homework (noun) - refers to tasks assigned to students by teachers to be completed mostly outside of class, and derives its name from the fact that most students do the majority of such work at home.

For example: "A lot of students in the UK get too much homework."

Housework (noun) - refers to domestic household chores such as cleaning and cooking.

For example: "I never seem to have enough time to do the housework. There's always something that needs dusting or polishing."
