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.

It's literally what they do in my wife's class where they have 24 each but hey what would I know

"My wife's a primary school teacher so I know enough to solve education issues"

Here is a functional solution you want to ignore because you look down on primary school teachers

"Functional" does not equal "practical", nor does it even remotely equate to "looking down on primary school teachers"

Let's go ahead and ignore every other "functional solution" because it's too (insert excuse) to work.

What we're currently doing in the US works so well, it's why we lead the world in education... I think. Idk, I never learned any nuance besides standardized tests. But I'm ok, teachers and kids are just lazy

You might want to look up the educational standards for lower grades to HS.

It is better at the college level, though.

No its because I am a teacher and you have no idea what you're talking about

18 hours to think that up? Yeah, you're not a teacher.

I'm in a different country, dipshit. And I'm not a slave to my phone, like you.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned since teaching is that the less someone knows about education, the more certain they are that they're the only one smart enough to fix it.

"B-b-but my wife/mother/husband is a teacher and they agree!!!!!!!"

No. They just want you to shut the fuck up.

"I went to school! I know how it works!"

You were born. That doesn't mean you know how to give birth.

You were born. That doesn’t mean you know how to give birth.

Uh, have you met any animals? Childbirth is pretty instinctual. Where are you on that mount stupid? I suggested an option, I didn't anywhere say it was the only one. The fact that I haven't sat through a credential program doesn't mean I'm summarily dismissed from the conversation. I'd wager your entire annual salary that my degrees are better than yours.

The fact that you don't have the relevent degrees, experience or knowledge means you are summarily dismissed from the conversation. You obviously have nothing of value to contribute, yet you insist that you should be listened to. That makes you either an idiot, or a troll. Or both.

Oh, I do have the relevant experience. I'm just getting you to admit you disdain your loved ones. It's really quite fun.

Edit: wait, faulty assumption. You're one of those people who doesn't have loved ones, aren't ya

What in the actual fuck are you evem trying to say? You're not even making sense.
