I read it as anti-homework.

The idea with homework is to have the knowledge stick.

Homework 100% helped reinforce key parts of my education. By college i got better at deciding which stuff to do and which i could skip. The more i dreaded the class and the homework, the more important doing it tended to be. On the flip side, my math course that was more of a refresher of high school math, i could skip 90% of the homework.

The idea of homework is to condition us to accept poor work-life balance.

By all means make stuff available for students who want it, but if students need extra work that can't fit in class, then the school day should be longer.

Homework at an elementary and middle school level is kinda an equity issue because not everyone has a stable home life. But in high school and college, it makes sense to drill the harder concepts and to get a chance to produce high-quality project-based work.
