homework as it currently exists is kinda bad in a few ways, like how it conditioned us to accept bringing work home but that's just a larger part of western education being about indoctrinating wage slaves.
AFAIK studies on homework show that it just increases anxiety and sorts kids by economic class while doing very little to actually increase retention of information. If we made a school system based on what we know about childhood education it would be one of the things that would 100% get dropped, along with shortening summer vacation, starting the school day later for older kids, and feeding every kid for free.
That is literally everyone's reaction to shortening summer vacation, but the fact is that school systems with 1 month summer vacations perform far better than systems with 2 or 3 month ones.

whoa, no thanks. I'd take the other 3 things though.
Fortunately I'm permanently done with school and will never have to worry about it anyways.
