I actually think that “schools of the future” will do this. Especially when mathematics are concerned. It does no good to get feedback a week after you have done the homework and already moved on to the next topic. Feedback should be immediate so that any errors in understanding can be corrected. The exception would probably be writing a paper, which can occur over at least several days.

Mandatory homework needs to be done away with for students. Studying after school is one thing, but assignments that can’t be finished during school hours shouldn’t be given out. Give them 1 free hour a day at school to work on assignments if you need to.
Not every student has a home environment set up for being able to concentrate. Plus it’s just training kids to work off the clock and having no separation of home and work life, something people already struggle with. We should be teaching them boundaries about these things.

Idk about the future, but we used to do like 10 math problems at the end of class, and they were supposed to be finished by tomorrow, where we would review them. It’s a day of margin only, we did have 10 mins to do most of them, and lazy people like me did them in recess right before class. The teacher didn’t check them 1 by 1, but if you were picked to present the problem in the review and you didn’t have it done, you were fucked.

Yup. I struggled in school because my dad didn’t respect public education and always filled my afternoons with chores and tasks. If I was lucky I could do homework on the bus, or at lunch, or in earlier classes, but typically not. Despite having the highest test grades in most of my classes, I generally had the lowest overall grades, especially in particularly homework-centric classes like history.

…yeah, i did fantastic in my GT classes but struggled in my regular classes due to the volume of busy-work…

I hated school but I would have preferred to stay one extra mandatory hour at school instead of ever having homework.
