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.

I agree with you, but isn't the whole "the brain doesn't finish developing until around 25" claim bogus?

Yes, your brain develops and changes throughout your life. It's just anti-child bigotry bullshit from millennials who of all people should know better.

Ngl, I don't think I've ever heard it from a millennial. But yeah, its kinda silly given if your brain stopped developing you would lose your memory...

or at least, ability to gain memories. I'm not a neuroscientist.
