    Nah homework is how you create discipline in kids. So they learn how to do things on their own, plan and focus on things without constantly having an authoritarian figure watching them.

    It’s why the smartest kids who never had to do homework or prep often struggle when they go to university where they have to read entire chapters to prepare for every class. Because they lack the discipline to plan and focus.

    And even outside work life there are plenty of things where an adult needs discipline and planning skills to live a successful life.

      Too bad more often than not the kids that actually do homework do it only if their parents sit down with them every night to do it together
