I think homework is coming back to bite us/them.

K-12 specifically has it bad. Wake up 7am get to school for 8/9 fill your day with classes you don't have much interest in while also figuring out how to be a social human with other kids and all the stress that entails. Then we require them to go home and continue to do more schoolwork.

Of course they're gonna cheat. They're overworked and overstressed as it is.



There is much less homework these days than in, say, the 1980’s. This is true across all levels of education.
