IMO the original purpose of homework was to keep the children occupied while the adults prepared dinner. That isnβt really needed anymore. Plus studies have shown the benefits of homework are negligible. Stop teaching kids there is no solid work/life balance.
There is some argument for doing spaced repetition as homework for memory heavy learning like vocabulary for example.
Edit: Just read that this covers grades 4 - 8 so what I said doesn't apply.
Idk there are definitely some courses that I don't think could have been covered in just the allotted class time without additional practice in order to be prepared enough for the university level, particularly high school mathematics and AP Calc, and physics.
