There are a finite number of school hours! Teachers have to be paid! That being said, America is extremely unusual in the small number of explicit classroom hours students have, and the large amount of homework students are expected to do.

Students from France are absolutely laughing at this. Wednesdays are half days and the homework load at the lower grade levels is mind boggling.

Students in France go to school 6 days a week and have a longer school year.

I believe homework are useless. but if you think they are a more effective way of learning then why not replace lecture with exercise?

Or are you simply saying student need to dedicate more hours per day than only school hours to not get behind ?
