Isn't it funny how we only ever judge homework by the bad nights, not by the thousand small wins it creates? Homework is the only place where a student gets to practice struggling with an idea on their own, without the safety net of a teacher nearby. That's where real learning happens. It builds independence, responsibility, and the confidence that comes from figuring something out yourself. Sure, too much is a problem, but the answer is better balance, not elimination. It gives parents a window into what their kids are actually learning too.
