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.
7am always felt a bit too early for me. I would say that 9 to 1 is a lot better. It's still exactly the same period, it just happens later in the day, two hours later to be exact.
But I guess some people enjoy waking at dawn. And to those people, I say "good for you".
