Why don't schools simulate a typical 9 to 5 work week for students and remove homework entirely?

I know this is typical for the US so this is more for US people to respond to. I wouldn't say that it is the best system for work, just wondering about the disconnect.

In the USA, work doesn't end at 5, and there's always homework. That's where your proposal goes wrong.

I'm off the clock when I leave my place of business. Unless you own your own, or you're a creative, stop doing free work at home.
