"The pupil thinks there is too much homework in school."

[Hamborg]

"much homework" can also be "meget hjemmearbejde" in Danish. Even though 'hjemmearbejde' is a bit old school.

...and he is correct

[griffous]

if skole is school, why isn't skolen (the correct answer) [the] school?

[RyagonIV]

When talking about institutions in general, in English you don't use the article, you just say "We had biology in school today." If you said "the school", it would be a specific building.

In Danish that's different, you tend to use the articled form with institutions: "Vi havde biologi i skolen i dag."

Why "for mange" and not "for meget"? I thought mange means many, and meget means much.
