You can't 'learn concepts by repetition', that is not how learning works. You can learn a concept & repeat its application to be faster at it.

And that's the problem. What if the student didn't catch the concept during the lesson? He or She needs help by a guardian or be punished for not completing the task.

Same thing with the supposed self management skills. What if the student fails at it? He or she needs help by a guardian or will be punished.

At the end of the day homework is a tool to offload tasks of the school to the guardians of the student. A schools system, that relies on homework, is a system that fails in its task of creating a level playing regardless of socioeconomic background of the student.
