I just bing-read this whole thing in the span of 3 days.

This has been such a wonderful story so far and like others, I too want all 3 of them together.

I disagree. With math problems, doing a lot of homework is necessary to really remember all the equations and methods and the way you can use them in different situations. I'd say the same applies to other STEM subjects like physics or chemistry. With foreign languages, repetitions through homework is also helpful to remember the vocabulary, while with native language writing essays can't be fit elsewhere but homework.

Sure, maybe Japan and other Asian countries push too much homework, as well as studying in general - you shouldn't need to go to cram school after regular school every day, and then spend your weekend doing homework too, but homework in general is worthwhile and useful.

Nonsense. You obviously don't understand the subject. There's literal scientific work out there showing the harm that homework does. Finland, a nation that tops education charts every year, has had a minimum homework policy for years. In fact, most of Europe is moving towards that. Any work that's worth doing should be done in class, and if it's too expansive for the curriculum, it shouldn't be a part of it. Homework just enables the inflation of HS learning and breeds inefficiency in class. Not to mention it makes children internalize the idea that their free time isn't a right, but a waste to be filled. If your job told you (not you, you're like 15) you need to work an additional shift at home just to keep up with the minimum standards, you could literally sue them, so why is it acceptable to put children through that?
A policy of encouraging students to sign up for extra classes they're interested is a much better solution. Kids get to actually choose what they spend their time on that way and are obviously way more motivated.

What an ignorant take. If homework was so bad, Asian countries wouldn't so consistently score in the top. Finland, a small country, may just be lucky outlier. The basis of learning is repetition and practice, and you will never have enough time fot is in class, unless you completely dumb down the teaching program. Not doing homework means that either kids who need to practice more will be behind the program, or that the kids who get the lesson will be bored, that's really wasteful.

Kids "internalizing the idea that their free time isn't a right" is a good thing. The time spend in school isn't a job, public schooling is their right and privilege that was bitterly fought by previous generations, it used to be those kids would work on the fields with their parents instead of learning, that's why those kids have a duty forced by law to study as much as they can, both for their own good and as a duty to their country to become as educated as they are able. And if you think adult people just get free time as soon as they finish their jobs, your are truly privileged brat, which explain how you're so entitled. Just like kids do their homework at home, adults have to take care of homework, of providing food, taking care of kids' every need, doing housework, taking care of elderly in the family - normal adult has far less free time than any kid, despite the homework. Unless they're just some carefree parasite, maybe, that doesn't care and put work even for the family that raised them, or are to lazy to raise the future generations, after all there are smartphones and Youtube and TikTok, and lazy parent can always just push the job of raising the kids on the teachers.

And there are other duties too, depending on country, jury duty, military duty, voting duty. You're not entitled to have all the free time you want, that's just being spoiled brat, instead of dutiful citizen. Your time in school is not some favor or work you do to please your teachers and parents, hard-fought and paid from taxpayers' money privilege, right and duty that allows you to become self-sufficient and able to think for yourself citizen, and it's just and right to demand from kids that they learn as much as they can, not ignoring the social aspect of course.

Extra classes won't help average students to catch up with basic material. You need to practice solving equations, or you won't understand math and will be another moron who doesn't understand probability and causation, and will become easy prey to populists, and without math, you'll notice too late you won't be good economist. If everybody is not practicing essays as homework, then the population will be stupider when it comes to communication skills. Not forcing students to understand history or biology will make them morons who will easily fall for cool-looking pseudo-scientific ideologies like Aryan superiority or eugenics. If you only learn what you like, you won't be able to even discuss such theories, and you will be easily led astray.

In my country, during the occupation by Hitler's hordes, students were literally risking their lives while doing secret studies banned by Nazis, who wanted us to be their dumb little slaves. Education is a duty, not a job.

I stopped reading your novel here because by claiming Finland might be getting lucky in educational rankings year after year you've pretty much dispelled any remaining doubts about you simply being a moron, and I'm not gonna waste my time trying to fill a leaking head. Enjoy your homework.
