Why don't schools simulate a typical 9 to 5 work week for students and remove homework entirely?
I know this is typical for the US so this is more for US people to respond to. I wouldn't say that it is the best system for work, just wondering about the disconnect.
I tried that in the university. It was a terrible idea and had to fail a couple of matters. Having exams at the same time and date didn't help, either.
